You can provide feedback via this thread or private message and also via
ThePlantedAquariumPodcast@gmail.com
The web page and podcast are absolutely in their infancy. The first podcast is available at the web page listed above to stream or download. The podcast should also be available for subscription via iTunes in the next day or so.
Please understand our only motivation is to serve the broad planted aquaria hobby community. Orlando from Green Leaf Aquariums (http://www.greenleafaquariums.com/) was kind enough to be our first guest and we are quite grateful. If you have suggestions or comments please let us know. You can suggest who we should interview next. Maybe we could interview you! It'd be great to have a wide range of folks on the show, from typical hobbyist to seasoned expert.
Cheers! David and Jennifer

I enjoyed listening. Loved your accents. Very nicely done!

Nice work! Orlando was a good first choice

If you want a suggestion, I'd suggest not to make balance so severe (only one speaker for each person - I didn't use headphones to listen but I bet it would be somewhat distracting if I did)

I have a suggestion for the next person to interview - feel free to PM me if you'd like it

Thanks! I've corrected the balance issue for the Orlando track and uploaded an episode 1b for those that have yet to listen. PM on the way!

Hey David,
thanks for the effort of putting together this podcast. If this is your first audio recording, or close to it I thought it was a very noble first effort. Apart from the voice balance issues, I wish you had edited the parts that you said you were going to edit in the recording. I do a handful of marine related podcast recordings and I like to write up a list of questions which I present to the guest well before the recording, so that they can have some time to start forming their responses. Otherwise, looking forward to more recordings and iTunes syndication.

Ha, ha, great suggestions! My goal is a much more informal podcast. I imagine the format may not be for everyone. It would be great to have a more structured podcast with a goal of providing information/education available. Maybe, I could have some informal and more structured in the same podcast. I imagine my editing will improve over time as well, and become more efficient. Jennifer and I did not wear headphones when recording and I had to spend hours cleaning out feedback from our channel. Gak! Thanks again for the feedback! David

We'll be featuring the podcast on the blog very soon; the blog is very young but we have a few great writers and we are slowly ramping up our productivity.

The podcast is now available via iTunes. Search "planted aquarium".
thanks!
