Typically you can get about 6 people on skype without totally losing all the audio quality. Also, the person with the best bandwidth needs to be the one doing the recording... but its always good to have a back up too.

Thanks for the advice. I prefer one on one, or three-person at most, for a variety of reasons, bandwidth being only one of the concerns (I also want to keep our show length pretty tight -- 20 to 30 minutes is the sweet spot in my mind).
Shiggy:
Hey Fred, how about on Jim's next interview, having him answer the ten questions that are asked of celebrity on Inside the Actor's Studio? If you'd like a copy of the questions, let me know, I can track them down easily enough.
The only problem I see with this, is one of the questions is "What is your favourite swear word", so we may need to bleep him, or put a warning to the younger audience.

Hit me with the questions, I'll try to find an episode where I can use 'em. :)
Shiggy:
Here they are. Gotta love Google.
01. What is your favorite word?
02. What is your least favorite word?
03. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
04. What turns you off?
05. What is your favorite curse word?
06. What sound or noise do you love?
07. What sound or noise do you hate?
08. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
09. What profession would you not like to attempt?
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

I'd definitely tune in for one that featured someone from the Donald Maass Literary Agency... Mr. Maass has some *damn* fine books on writing technique out there (I own two, and have made a point to have them in my store where I recommend and sell them regularly). To say nothing of the other wonderful subjects they could discuss, I'd simply love to hear a discussion of "Writing The Breakout Novel" in terms of Jim Butcher's works in specific...
I believe Jim wrote Storm Front *before* having an agent, but despite that, I've always thought the Dresden Files are textbook examples of the advice Donald Maass gives to new authors in his book and workbook. I'd also LOVE to hear Jim weigh in on how Maassively his writing has been influenced by his experiences with the agency. ;D

Huh, I just sent my first 5 pages along with an author query towards the Maas agency. I hope they're willing to represent me.
Okay, well here's what I'd like to see on the next episode of the Butcher Block.
* A Butcher Block Review of Proven Guilty and thoughts regarding the book.
* Character Spotlight: Harry Dresden. A discussion of the characteristics of Harry and why we love him.
* RPG Preview: A moment explaining some fact about the RPG like how magic is handled or something similiar.
* Some talk about Jim's fantasy novels
But yes, I'd love to see a show on Proven Guilty.
Can you give us a hint what the next episode might contain?
