Comment on ConJour ‘10 – Sci-Fi World Building Panel by JustinMacumber

Hopefully that wasn’t an issue in the other recordings. I’ll also be vigilant for it when I record panels in the future. Good call/

Please, please, please for the love of god
could you maybe hint to any panelists before any recordings that
when they chew gum, or throat drops or whatever,
to either
1. Not do it at all
2. Not do it into the mic all through other people’s speaking.
Is it not noticeable to the audience? It certainly carries through headphones.

Same goes for tapping pens on the table next to a mic, or onto a mic, or whatever.

I know it’s kinda out of your control, maybe, but I just realized
that I’ve never heard this kind of thing in any of the other podcasts or panel
talks I listen to. Perhaps participants are usually warned about this? Or
just know better from experience. And I suddenly gain an appreciation for the lack of distraction in other panel talks.
I certainly sympathize as a chronic fidgeter and throat-drop-a-holic!　But I do refrain from such things when I give presentations, talk on the phone, and the like. What’s the deal?

I’d love to listen more panels but I can’t handle what sounds like someone chewing a cough drop into both of my ears.

That is so odd, Charles. I used Firefox and Chrome, and both of those worked normally (Windows 7). Doesn’t seem like a problem with the site, though I’ll pass it along to our hosts and see what they think. I appreciate you keeping me abreast, Charles!

Using Firefox 3.5.8 here on Mac OS X. Didn’t work there. Tried it on Safari and it’s working there.

Charles, not sure why you’re getting that. I was able to download the file to my computer, and I was able to play the file through the embedded player. I’ve also checked our host and nothing is wrong there either. Is anyone else getting this?

The mp3 link isn’t working. Here’s the error message: “UNABLE TO WRITE NEW DOWNLOAD RECORD TO DEADROBOTSSOCIETY_DOWNLOADS TABLE”

Great episode you guys, I was really hoping to hear more from J.C. on his blog post, even though it was fairly extensive. I think he and Dan had a lot of great stuff to say, great interviews guys.

Yes, I goofed. In my rush to get the episode out into the world, I put the wrong file with the post. I have corrected it, and everything should be sorting itself out shortly. The player in the show notes is correct, and the proper link is in the RSS, but iTunes may take a few minutes to correct itself.

Sorry!!
