Hey All...
A clip from this podcast will be on National Public Radio (NPR) today during the "All Things Considered" program. They're talking about churches and technology and are going to play a segment from the Twitter episode.

So, hold your breath and pray our server doesn't die :)

Side Lesson: When i talked to the NPR producer today, he mentioned that they picked the show partly because our audio quality was really good. So, let that be a lesson: Being an audio snob in your church and getting them to buy higher quality recording gear may pay off...people are looking for good quality audio!

That's great! I wonder if

That's great! I wonder if getting NPRed is like getting slashdotted? Hope the word gets out!

That's great. Rob and Matt

That's great. Rob and Matt deserve some recognition for the high quality work they do. It is refreshing to listen to two Christian guys that are level headed, tech savy, and put out high quality work. Keep it up guys.

Short But Sweet

Well, it was VERY short but sweet...they just played about 10 seconds of our intro towards the end of this story (here's the audio it's at 4:17). But, we got a shoutout on the blog entry for the show.

I'm just glad we didn't sound dumb. :)

Sounded fine

I think it came across pretty well. It’s pretty funny that they picked the one time you mentioned Twitter compared to all the times you bring up Drupal. (Twitter is a liiiiittle bit closer to public knowledge than Drupal, but not much.)

And, I have to say that for my own podcast listening, audio quality is very important. I can’t say that I’ve gotten rid of podcasts with poor audio quality, but if that situation is consistent, I do think twice about listening. Poor quality audio certainly affects the signal to noise ratio.

NPR-driven

I joined up because I heard of the site thru the NPR story. I came for the Twitter story (which is downloaded at home unlistened-to) and stayed for the really good info.
