Nice change of pace from this week's podcast. I enjoyed the interviews and new voices. It did show how much smoother face to face interviews are, though.
I was using a Skype add-on called Pamela for that. Very good, but I was a bit rushed and was just using it out of the box. For future stuff, I'll spend a bit more time fiddling with the settings, so should be better quality.

Hate to be a negative Ned, but I found the interview with harryhol to be too long. This was probably the first time since I began listening to your podcast that I tuned out what you were saying! Granted I am not a LOTRO player, but I don't normally mind listening to news and information about MMOs that I haven't played. My lack of attention span wasn't due to either of the participants, it was just the length, and probably the lower audio quality mentioned above.
Did I miss something? That *was* Jon's brother? There can't be too many people in Blighty called Shute...
Anyway, I did enjoy his contribution. He has a nice turn of phrase and a lovely voice. I hope he can make an occasional appearance. Like Brenden was to Brent.
Good work all round as usual.
