Fwd: Feathercast: A cry for help

Does someone from the ComDev project want to talk to Rich about GSoC and 
our follow up mentoring effort?

Feathercast, as you are no doubt aware, is an unofficial ASF podcast,
produced by two amateurs who have no idea what they're doing.

Feathercast is very ad-hoc. Neither David nor I really know what we're
doing. We do interviews, we save them as MP3, and we publish them to
the site. I use Audacity, and I happen to have a very nice mic because
my wife is awesome. Other than that, I make it up as I go along.

David has stepped back from it due to life getting in the way. I
haven't managed to publish anything since December, although I
frequently have the urge to do so.

I'm still fishing for folks who are willing to have a 15-minute
conversation with someone about ASF-related things, and then publish
it to feathercast. I am willing to do post-production, if all you can
do is record something and send me raw audio (any format whatsoever).

There are cheap Skype add-ons that do audio recording, and that's how
I do most of my interviews.
