fair criticism.

For me, i don't want the Podcast to ever be longer than 45mins, so the show is divided into the 3 or 4 stories that i feel will generate the most discussion (such as vine and the 128gb ipad) which get the to be at the start of the show, and stories that just need a quick comment to summarise them. So even though there wasn't discussion - i think Alec mentioned the key points around the Gabe Newell thing, and James gave the Path story just enough snark, etc.

So as much as i'd love to chat about every story, i never want the podcast to overstay its welcome, and 45mins seems the best run time for a nerdy podcast..

There is always the option of 2X playback on all iDevices so 90min would work.

I think that might've been my fault a little bit.

Not to ruin the magic of Pete's amazing editing, but with it being my first podcast I was super nervous and flubbed the Gabe Newell thing a couple of times when we were recording so I re-recorded it separately after I'd gotten over my nerves. I think that broke the flow of that section a little bit and probably sounded the most like it was read off a script.

I also wasn't game to do impersonations of Pete, James and Josh to try and add some conversation to the re-recording
