Enjoyed the podcast. You guys make a good combination, like the play-by-play and color analysts in sports broadcasting your diversity creates interest.

It is a bit long for a generation that cut it's teeth on the soundbite. As someone with experience in marketing and theatre, I'd encourage you to look at the pace of your podcasts. It doesn't mean speaking faster, but maybe not being so polite as to wait for the other person to finish their "speech" before you interject. You do some of this (which are the more interesting parts) but more would allow it to have a more layered feel to the conversation. Avoid one person talking for too long, more dialogue less monologue.

Still, very enjoyable. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks, David!

Dustin, thanks for the feedback. We couldn't agree more. We have talked about doing exactly what you suggest, but we'll look at bumping that up more.

Great show - It was nice to have Jackie interview Seth and hear it in the podcast for this portion of the Book blog tour.
