Metatalks #1 Let's Get this Conversation Started

(Please remember this is a binaurally recorded podcast so headphones are HIGHLY recommended for maximum listening experience. You can subscribe here ---> or )

The new podcast launches in just a few minutes. I'm so excited. I'm currently watching the upload % right now. I can't express how happy I am to have a forum for open meta discussion where I won't have to feel guilty for not talking about World of Warcraft. :D

This is planned to be a bi-weekly podcast with shows recorded every other Thursday and released on Sunday. We truly hope you enjoy the show and look forward to any feedback. Also, if you're interested in more content, I am posting an additional .mp3 in this post after the notes which gives you a glimpse into the "intro making" and the conversation truly continuing (05:07) after the podcast ended.

Here are the show notes:

Episode 1: Let's Get this Conversation Started Already

~Current Conversation:
With all the google buzz and talk about too many social networks and backlash hatred for facebook and twitter and the concept of blogging, it seems like we have not yet figured out how to truly communicate yet in the Meta. Will communication always be limited? Is this all we want?

The Podcast Begins

I have overhauled the previous metatalks blog into the MetaTalks Podcast site. I think the new place looks pretty spiffy. :) I had a lot of fun setting it up. I'm going to keep it simple. There won't be a facebook page or many other avenues for this podcast other than our twitter accounts, the show's email address, and this site.

I notice that most shows create a lot of networks but they all end up with redundant info so for now we'll keep it simple.

First show is being recorded this Thursday and should be up by Sunday. This has been roughly 5 months in the works between Eljeppy and I trying to figure out how to pursue this project. When it finally launches it will be quite exciting. We are always having wonderful conversations regarding everything. It'll be nice to finally share them.
