Sounds good. I was thinking you were shooting for a weekly podcast.

It took me a while to start listening too, but now I really like to
listen to podcasts regularly.

That would be cool, a bit like the frameworks smackdown at the
previous JavaOne conference. Setting that up would take quite a bit
more work than just doing your own thing. I do want it to get a RIFE
branding though, for promotion.

Well it's different, but it would let me practice my English
pronunciation skills. At JIA i remember that you ha an idea of doing
a RIFE / tech podcast yourself to practice your presentation skills.
Do you feel like helping out with this one? We could do it together.
Sure, why not. I'd be willing to help out.

I really like the format of the JavaPosse, where they basically sit
around a (virtual) table and comment on news/interesting things.
Since the mailinglist has been getting a good amount of traffic since
a month or two, I was thinking of talking about the most interesting
subjects that were discussed there. Also, new efforts like the IDE
plugins can benefit from recent status updates. The same goes for
RIFE itself, and where the development is heading. We can also cover
interesting blogs and news-items that are RIFE-related. Another
possibility is to interview users about why they adopted RIFE, what
they like about it and what they find less well done.
However, I don't think that there's enough material for a weekly
podcast, so I'm thinking about a bi-weekly one. It doesn't have to be
very long either, 10-15 minutes could be enough to start out with.
Sounds good. I was thinking you were shooting for a weekly podcast.

I agree, explaining complex topics don't work on talk radio.
