This is a pilot podcast to accompany the fortnightly MSDN Flash newsletter. I would appreciate feedback on what you liked and what you didn’t – and even whether you managed to make it through the 20minutes.

Things I already plan to do:

• More formally split the podcast into sections (Fresh Discovery, User Group, Tip etc)
• Add music/sounds – especially to introduce the sections
• Host it “properly” :-)
• Make it podcast subscriber friendly – via Itunes etc
• Full show notes for each episode
• Include interviews with the authors of the article etc

I am very keen to hear what you think about the style, length, content, overuse of the word “interesting” (!),  use of snipurl etc. If nothing else – can you place where I am originally from? :-)

Most importantly, I hope you enjoy it and learn something useful.

The podcast is 20minutes long and 14mb (< 1minute download). Currently hosted on skydrive…
