Question: Still waiting for a native app for Ubuntu. I’m using it with WINE now, but the display isn’t as clear – text formatting is off, and several of the buttons are blurry black blobs. I use the web-based version from time to time, but a Ubuntu-friendly version would be nice. Any chance that this is on the horizon?

It is EXTREMELY difficult to listen to these podcasts do to volume issues. In the car or with earbuds on, we listeners are dealing with ambient noise. Because some of the dialogue on the podcasts drops to whisper-like levels, it is impossible to hear some of the most important points made.

Volume-leveling software might help, however the real problem comes from the guys themselves. Too many times you all are speaking in the bottom half of a breath. This may work for people sitting 3 feet apart in a quiet room, but the lack of projection makes these words impossible to hear from farther away.

To correct this, place a spare, dead mike (or even a cup) in the center of the room, and imagine that IT is your speaking target. Phil, especially, needs to imagine this (his youtube video is almost impossible, and very nerve wracking, to try to listen to).

Best of luck and thanks for all of your hard work!
