Thanks for listening. I do spend a lot of time fussing about sound quality, so I’m glad that’s noticeable. The next episode is almost done, it explores systems biology and includes an interview with Pedro Beltrao.

Thanks for the positive comments, any kind of feed back is appreciated. I’m currently putting together an episode on Systems/Synthetic biology. Unfortunately I just don’t have much time to spend on this, so given the logistics and availability of guests it’s looking like the next episode will be released at the end of November.

And as far as donations go, you’re correct, it’s obviously too early for that. I liked the idea of using Flattr, but the way they have set it up is a little odd. To join the system is only a couple of Euro, but finding and flattring content is difficult without critical mass. And if you don’t use the balance in your account it doesn’t roll over to the next month, they take the remainder and donate it to charity. In which case you have to top up your account to start Flattring again.

I’m also considering re-branding as The nodalpoint podcast, rather than conversations. More flexibility.

I think you did a fair job. I’ll donate if you make a couple more episodes. I’d love to have a regular Bioinformatics webcast to listen to. I’m fairly new to the field and don’t have enough time to keep up with the field in general much less master all the techniques and concepts I’ll be using.

Kudos on the start of something great.

It’s early days, I’ll have to see how much momentum this has. I will definitely be trying for episode 2 in the next month. Podcasting is a very different beast when compared to running a weblog. For example, I listent to a lot of podcasts including c2cbio (looking forward to future episodes too!) but don’t engage in the same way that I do with Twitter/Friendfeed/comments etc. I suspect it is the passive nature of the medium.

This is wonderful. More podcasts the merrier and what a way to start. Of course, you could have chosen a guest who actually exists

I hope you do a better job of consistently churning out episodes than those c2cbio guys. Can’t wait for episode 2
