I’d love to listen in. Have you thought about podcasting it? That’s about the only way I can listen in to stuff like this these days.

Hi Jake,
Yes, we are working on that right now! We want to offer the recordings as both Windows Media and as a podcasted MP3 version. And enclose them in the RSS feed.
Steve, who hosts the Conversations with me, recently won an iPod, and has been cramming for his finals in podcasting. He takes his final exams next week! We’ll see if he gets an “A”.
Best,
Anita
