BB003 - Are You Ready For Some Dresden?
BigMama:
I have always recommended folks start with Storm Front, just because I always recommend the first book in a series. You are right, however. Jims books get progressively better as you move through the series, and starting with a little bit later book might be a better hook. I am loaning one of my prize omni editions to my son in law. I may loan him the second to start instead of the first. ;)

There are some weird, unsettling choppy bits where one can hear where you cut stuff out, but on the whole, your performance is miles better than where you were two episodes ago. Bravo!

Yeah, the choppy bits are a natural consequence of me trying to loosen up. I ad-libbed 90% of this episode (instead of my usual 10%) and that lead to a lot of screw-ups and a metric ton of 'uh... (six second pause)'.

Let's first start by saying. Well done. I can see you're improving with every show. (see, positive critisism)
...
;) nah, i'm not going to burn you down. I like the show. Sometimes it's a bit hard to hear it properly. I'm not an native english speaker and when people are having a conversation in the same room, it gets a bit difficult. The're is some background noise as well I think. (could be me)
One thing of building critisism though. Can you please put a bit more time between the words when you get two pieces of soundbytes together? I think it will make the way you "speak" more controlled. (ie, less nervous) ;) I can understand about the *uh*'s. You should have heard my for my first presentations. ;D Just take a breather and try to speak slower. Just a tip I hope will help for you.
Keep up the good work. You and Jim heve become examples of the learning curve for me. (Never give up, never say die and have a lot of patience.)
iago:
Sure thing, Wolfie. Right now my next big goal is to get to the right level of "words spoken per second" :)
Shiggy:
I'm finally getting around to listening to BB003, and I've discovered it is not productive to try to listen to Fred talk from a computer that is 3 feet away from a washing machine on spin cycle. It just doesn't work. *glares impatiently at washer* *twiddles thumbs waiting for it to get to the end of it's final spin*
I'll add my comments to this post when I can get past "Jim just got back...."
Edit: Loved anything and everything mentioned about Grave Peril. I may have to just hand that one to my friend who couldn't get through chapter 1 of Storm Front.
