Show notes are up now!

Thanks for all the kind words, guys! I was worried this one might come off as a little dry, so I'm glad everyone seems to be enjoying it. If you haven't come out for one of the chat parties to be a part of the live experience, you're definitely missing out!

It's so odd how the France Gall comparison became a running undercurrent throughout the show! I didn't even notice it until I started writing up the show notes and went hunting for links. I definitely think Roman's onto something, though, as I find myself cultivating a little bit of a crush on France now. :o

The things I like most about Vent are the ability for folks to drop in and out easily at will, without having to be called in, and the ease with which even folks without mics can get involved in the chatroom. I'm not sure all that will carry over if we switch.

There's still a couple other things I can try in terms of converting the Vent files over to Audacity that will hopefully boost the audio quality. We'll see what happens, I guess!

just found this for recording skype, it has some good reviews:

I've changed the audio quality and speed just recently so hopefully that will help too

cool, glad you got around to fixing it up and adding it (3 days ago but I haven't been able to get on much), would love to do another one of these type of discussion podcast and maybe get some more people on board, I finished my final performance of the play I was in and I have about a week or two left for finals and I will be open for 3 months to do stuff before classes start again so hopefully I can start making it to some of the other podcast stuff, will she about the one you currently have going.

When you all were talking about idioms that dont translate directly it reminded me of one.
"Whatever floats your boat" this idiom in english means ,basically, do whatever makes you happy. The idiom that has the same meaning in french translates about to "whatever flips your chicken".
I just thought it was funny.:):):)
