Podcast: Download (14.5MB)

This week’s show is somewhat of an eclectic mix largely based around responding to users questions. As a result it hard to provide the normal detailed notes I post with each podcast.

My recommendation is to stop reading and start downloading :)

Download this show.

In the trade these are known as calls to action. Feel free to take your pick!

So do you think it made a difference having Marcus and me in the same room? Was the interaction better? Did it improve the quality of the podcast? Let me know what you think!

2 shows recorded at a time ay? Bring it on gentlemen! Glad to have Marcus back. The sound quality is better than it was with Skype. By the way, I was a high schooler when Breathe was big here in the US, and I really did like Hands to Heaven. That said, I really dig the techno intro/outro music you’re using, so I hope Marcus comes up with something pretty cool to replace it, else I may have to bitch a bit.
Thanks for another great show. I can’t believe all this info is free! I hope people out there understand how informative and helpful this show really is to those of us who design for the web.

I have passed your warning on to Marcus :)
As for the sound quality. It is pretty good now. I need a few more tweaks on my voice because I tend to clip, but we are definately getting there.

Thanks again for letting me be a part of another amazing show. Keep up the great work lads! I’ll stop saying ‘peeps’ and for that matter ‘lads’. Perhaps I’ll find a lingo middle ground.

There is a Sitepoint article about web design contracts that has some relevance here. Would you like to comment on it Markus and Paul (and others)?

so what is all this fancy new kit Marcus has brought back?

I have been producing websites for a couple of years, but only recently got into web standards. Your podcasts, along with the ones from Web Essentials have expanded my knowledge enormously. So thanks and keep up the good work.
The only problem is remembering all those good ideas, so I have started saving examples in a demo website.
Can I claim to have been listening in the most unusual place, sitting on the deck of a tall ship sailing from Gibraltar to the Canaries? See the pictures

Hi Paul,
yes you win the award for the most unusual place to listen to boagworld, however you also win the most hated person for being able to listen to it there! How cool is that!
Anyway, glad you like the podcast and that you have found it useful. Hopefully this site also helps you find stuff that we have talked about. I try and document as much as possible here as well as a whole load of stuff we never cover in the podcast.
