I did a podcast with Roland Tanglao early this morning my time. My first real 'chatty' podcast, so it was enjoyable.
Roland is more of a natural podcaster than me. I was all "um"s and "yep"s and coughs and halt--ing speech. But that's what podcasting's about - it brings the real live person behind the blog out into the open. Writing is always going to be my natural medium (I'm no Adam Curry), but podcasting may serve a purpose for me too...
Indeed near the end of the show, Roland encouraged me to do a weekly 'Web 2.0 Wrap-Up podcast' - discussing the Web 2.0 issues of the week. I can see that being a nice complement to my written Web 2.0 Weekly Wrap-Up, in that I can expand on certain themes and find out if thinking out loud brings new insights. Hmmmm - anyone have any feedback or advice on that? e.g. I don't even know the best way to record a podcast or store it.

I'd love to hear a weekly wrap up. The sound quality of the post linked above is not very good but this might be due to the microphone your interviewer was using (was he too close to it?). Also, some of the flow issues you mention can be eliminated by having a script, practicing it at least once, slowing down... and then of course editing out the rest :)

Do it. Just.
I kow it can be hard just to rant on your own. Let me know if you're interest doing a skype call recording. Just chat about stuff you've been posting on.

Richard, way to go! I listened to your interview and wrote a little bit about it in my blog.
Cheers,
Joost

hi christina:
thanks for listening
the interviewer was me and the sound quality of what I was saying was not the best it could have been because I was using a headset whose microphone kept slipping down
