Well…It’s up. Our initial podcast [21+MB]. We learned a lot from the process and promise to (1) keep it shorter next time (maybe) and (2) I’ll use a better phone (so my audio quality and volume is better). Also, we still have to figure out hosting…so no RSS feed for the podcast yet.
Comments, suggestions, etc. are appreciated: rethinkip@gmail.com
