Panic on CocoaRadio

Join me for an interview with Steven Frank & Cabel Sasser, the great team of Mac entrepreneurs, award-winning developers, and founders of Panic. Based in Portland, Oregon their company produces Transmit and Unison. They have steadily built their company and team that produces some of the best examples of Mac software and Tiger goodness.

Everyone interested in the Mac platform and market should pick up some nuggets of wisdom from Steven and Cabel. Please post followup questions in comments below. btw, they also sell T-shirts of their own printing - no lazy-press with these guys!

The job positions mentioned on the show have been filled but they'll keep your résumé around for future posts if you're interested.

Podcast available via iTunes or mp3 (did away with m4b for now to appease would be switchers)

Comments are gone... I know. I re-posted after reading suggested fixes in FeedBurner forums. I hope no one is too upset about losing the comment since most of them were related to not be able to get the enclosure in iTunes.

[BlakeB]

Hah! The re-post worked. The Panic interview is live on iTunes as of Friday AM (U.S. time).

[Key]

Nice to see that the enclosure for the Panic interview is now present in your RSS feed. Thanks.

[BlakeB]

Hey Key - thanks for alerting me to the problem. The re-post made FeebBurner to pick it up. I re-posted the same code via ecto.

What's the deal with the Pacific Northwest and Mac coders?

Portland, Seattle...is it something in the water?

[Michael Heilemann]

Good interview, though I've gotta say, your voice is like thrice the volume of Panic's, which makes it really hard to find a good volume to listen to the show at :(

[Squozen]

Indeed it is. It's virtually impossible with any kind of background noise. I don't know how you're doing your recording, perhaps you could record yourself separately to the interviewee? If not, some serious compression is required, which will be pretty nasty to listen to in itself.

[BlakeB]

Audio process is changing. One more guest from Seattle for now, then to Stanford and then to UK. Got guest suggestions? Send 'em to me.

[Dave Trevas]

Blake, I'm really enjoying the shows, but I have to offer some constructive criticism: I hear your breathing while your guests are speaking, even some occasional sighing. Perhaps you could pull back from your mic when your guests are speaking.

Thanks.

Really bad EQ. I'm really interested in the topic, but the voice of the presenter is really LOUD and the interviewees just giggling beyond audible range. This is too much work, so I wiped the MP3.

[Blake Burris]

OK! enough already. Maybe this a test to see if I'll actually delete comments?! Please read all above post before anyone else feels compelled to mention or suggest that I improve the audio quality. And yes, I am posting this while steamed. But hey, it's free and I don't feel like I'm ripping anyone off. The next podcast you hear will be pro. : ) 'nuf said.

[Ross]

Hive sounded kind of interesting, Q4 eh? Can't wait :)

[Marcus S. Zarra]

Loved the interview. Each one is worth saving as I love listening to other developers and what drives them.

While I am not going to suggest that the audio is rough since I already read the comments above, but I would like to make one constructive suggestion.

A lot of podcasters use an external mixer and record off the mixer. That lets them control each volume independently. However, I realize that these are not free :) Therefore if you were to set up a PayPal donation link for a mixer I would be VERY happy to contribute as I find this podcast to be one of the most valuable out there.

Keep up the good work. Just remember, people would not complain if they did not want it to improve :) Also remember that there are some of us out there not only listening to your casts but saving them to listen to again! Your cast is one of the very few I save.
