@matigo Very helpful, thanks. The difficult thing about echo is that I can't really hear it easily in the headset that I'm using to communicated with the person, only afterwards. I should just say, have you got a headset on, can you plug in your earbuds, something. One speaker was very keen to record locally, so I thought, ah, he's bound to have some decent kit, but he didn't.
Never apologise, never explain; I know. So I just wanted to say that I've missed being here for a couple of days.
@streakmachine That's really great news. Can you also have a quiet word with management and tell them to start making proper cars agin too.

@matigo Thank you Jason. It was part labour of love and part proof of concept. Yes, I have entered the Radiotopia Podquest, along with 1536 other hopefuls. I've been following the quinoa story for a long time, since before it was a story, really. So I already knew most of the people. There were two in the story that I didn't know at all before, and one that I had never spoken to directly. But other than that, yes, social networks, some of them in meatspace.
And despite several attempts, with personal introductions, there was one missing link in the story that I just could not get.
Ideally, I'd like to do one like that every three months, or thereabouts. At least for now.
May I ask for specific feedback?
Did the musical interludes work for you? Low enough under the voices? Too long? Too short?
And did the echo on two of the speakers disturb you? I really need to insist that people use earbuds, at the very least, when we are recording for that kind of piece.
Thanks
@matigo That's making the same error people make when thinking that they are the customers of services like Facebook. The Independent used to be a fine upstanding newspaper. Now, not so much.

@height8 Weak sauce. No guarantee that the person speaking is indeed the author, etc etc.
@matigo Pomodoro to the reescue. I take away my own focus -- note time of response -- and then restore it.
I seem to managing an extraordinary amount of focus this morning, and I like it.
@matigo I'm honestly open to persuasion, but none of the examples I saw at SoundCite impressed me as adding anything at all to the text.
As I don't use Firefox, I am unable to comment. :)
