		<description>Great info. You could have shared this with us at bcb4. i know i know... :-)

Your fourth point &quot;Left and Right Channel Recording Is Not Good&quot;.... i remember me pointing this out at your talk on podcasting at bcb3, reading out the sms from my friend who was following my live twitter. Wooo :-)

Good going. Lemme get my accent a little better and i will interview you for my first podcast. If you hadnt encouraged me to do the twitter talk at bcb3 i think i would have never opened my mouth in any of these events. This time it was way better than the twitter talk. You should have been there. Thanx Kiruba.</description>

		<description>Hi Kartik,

Thanks for the detailed feedback.

I agree with your point about focused approach and also talking less about the company.

I have noted down these points.

Will definitely pull my socks up and take it one notch up.

Thanks again and very nice feedback.

With appreciations,</description>

		<description>Hi Kiruba,

Personally think you are doing a great job! Keep it up!

Just a couple of points:
a) Duration of the podcast: I think my personal sweet spot for listening is around 15-20 mins .Of course we cannot generalize (even an hour is far too less for someone like Jimmy Wales!), but hope you get the idea..would personally like less facts about the interviewee&#039;s company (which i can look up on the web anyways), and more about his views on various trends in technology space and what is the company doing to deal with it.

b) Focused podcasts: I think after 75 episodes, you can do better themed podcasts, instead of randomly choosing executives whom you run into at events.. for e.g. a theme could be social networking in India: You could interview a couple of VCs who have invested in this space, two local SNS companies..some person from a global SNS site, someone who&#039;s been in internet business for long to give us an outsider&#039;s perspective on SNS.

I know I am asking for too much, but I guess I (and a lot others) will pay for it if you could get us something like that..but don&#039;t know how the economics would work out. as internet users have gotten used to getting stuff for free..maybe pricing it low would get more users hooked on..

Right now I view your podcasts as a source of entertainment (primarily), information (to some extent) rather than insights.

So, I think its time again pull up those socks, and step it up a notch :) .. I am sure you will do it.. Kudos again

Cheers

		<description>Speech to text software stuff are failures. It is ok if one person speaks. You have to make the software work for you. it takes lot of time to practice with the software and letting it to recognise you.</description>

		<description>Hi da Muths,

I haven&#039;t tried voice to text converters. Should give it a spin soon.

That contextual ticker would be very useful for folks who can&#039;t catch the accent or for those with hearing disabilities. I don&#039;t think anything like that exists as of now.

Muths, thanks for your feedback maams. BTW, missed meeting you at BarcampBangalore4.</description>

		<description>Interesting. Did you try any &quot;speech to text&quot; converters?

Wondering if its possible to make transcriptions contextual, by running a ticker right below the image. Just like sub-titles.

This option, could be useful whenever audio gets unclear and for users with hearing disabilities.

Not sure if the &#039;speech to text converters&#039; are that evolved as yet to automate this process.

Good show Kribs.</description>

		<description>my observations of ur podcast of vijay for the proto event

during start of the podcast ur voice was clear and good to hear whereas vijay&#039;s voice was feeble.

as the time went by, it was the other way about, wherein ur voice became feeble and vijay&#039;s voice became clear.

this is my part of feedback for ur noble works
