    Oh, I was meaning to ask for opinions on the intro music. Should we keep it or just leave it out?

    It's alright aside from being somewhat short and kind of having an extreme case of ADD. It just ends a little too abruptly.

    It's usable although I could see it working better as an interlude to break up segments.

    Thanks for the input! I'm thinking of outright removing it. It breaks up the flow a little too much

    Ditto. I've finally caught the live stream from the beginning and not thirty minutes in to it.

    I voted yes, because I'm interested in all things Unity. But I won't listen when one of the host is a borderline troll.
    Anyways, I wish this podcast all the best.

    I wouldn't consider myself a borderline troll, I'd consider beyond one. But I'm disappointed you're not going to watch based on how you view me, unless you're not talking about me. However, I do wish you would check out the podcast.

    Glad you enjoyed it and had a chance to see it live!

    At least try it before you boycott us. There's nobody Khelton can troll when we're on air.

    Any chance of getting the podcast on iTunes? I'd love to be able to listen to this on the run without having to download and put it on my iPhone every time it comes out, its a pain in the ass.
    Cheers, love the idea, keep it up.

    It shouldn't be too hard to put the audio from the podcast on iTunes. I'll try to put the first few episodes up tonight

    one simple suggestion would be to put time codes into the video so if someone only wants to listen to a few segments they can skip to various timecodes. Total biscuit does it in his series content patch

    Unfortunately, it seems as though iTunes does not host podcasts and that youtube (even though it has an RSS feed for uploads) does not supply the right format for iTunes to handle. You may be able to get the podcast on your computer using YTPodcaster, but I have nowhere at the moment to host a podcast myself.

    Considering theirs is an audio podcast, it is likely they download the audio from their videos and reupload it to a different server where they can manage an RSS feed for it. We are working on a similar solution with uploading audio to a blog, but are still working on it.

    Edit: reading further it seems as though that is not a youtube playlist at all, seeing as it covers subjects that the videos don't touch on

    It's great that you mentioned No Heroes, that one has always looked great. It would be really great though if you could get @eskovas on to talk about it.

    Out of interest, how often do you record a session of the Podcast? Is it a weekly thing?

    @Andy Touch has gone jet setting as part of his evangelism so he may not be as active

    (p.s. I could totally be on it but you won't get a lot of 5.0 gossip from me)

    Just a note to everyone, feedburner is just temporary. We have a website in the works that will host all the podcasts downloads, also a place to submit your games or assets. We may also embed the livestreams when they are live.

    In terms of content, is there a pre-set agenda? Or is it alot more on-the-spot discussions and chat? :)

    We have a list of topics we want to cover. It's always great when a topic spawns a good discussion, which is all on the spot.

    Hey guys. Unfortunately, there will be no podcast this week, as we are in the middle of a major revamping of the format of the podcast. We will be up and running again soon.

    Podcast will be making a return soon. Also, we're looking for another part time host, to help host podcasts when available. PM me for more details.

    Podcast will resume normal schedule soon!
