    I'm one of the interviewers for GU. We're fairly new to this and started the show just a few weeks ago to have conversational-style chats with other entrepreneurs in the valley. Any and all feedback is appreciated! Thanks. : ) Ana

      I started watching but turned off due to the sound quality. I think its the sound of the fan from the computer being picked up by the mic. Blame steve jobs :) Keep doing what you are doing, looked like an interesting interview.

      Thanks for the show. Idea is good, I have 2 feedbacks 1. I agree with the sound quality comment. The echo made it annoying. 2. When I tune into an interview I want to mostly hear from the guest. I turned it off after I found that the interviewers were doing most of the talking. I understand that your aim is 'conversation-style' but most viewers are probably tuning in to hear from the guest.

      Best of luck! My suggestion besides the audio quality: 1. Please make sure that that the interviewers do not bang the table so often 2. The format with the interviewee between 2 people is very very awkward. Both interviewers often talk at the same time so Jessica has to keep looking from one to the other just back and forth. Distracting 3. Framing is too tight. Again. Love the idea and hope you guys knock it out of the park!

  This is the type of asinine comment made in 'jest' that apparently makes so many women cautious about the tech community. It's not explicit enough to be harassment, but just bad enough to make a woman engineer in a professional setting with you feel uncomfortable, and want to actively avoid you.

    Not really a big fan of the comment either, but the tag line for "Geeks Uncensored" says "We are Smart, Sexy and ♥ talking about Tech, Social Media, Trends, Gadgets and everything Geeky." So "Sexy" and "Uncensored" - seems like they're the ones who are already trying to stay just this side of explicit.

        true there are tons of hot successful women talking about technology, but most of them are LA based. We were talking about Silicon Valley.

        I don't mean the lack of line, I mean the fact that you're seemingly focusing on that you're "hot successful women". Maybe I over estimate everyone, but I assumed the majority of people who'd be watching your show (and the interview with Jessica) would care about the contents and not you personally and that line was therefore meant as a tongue in cheek joke because the perceived idea is that the average tech viewer only cares about boobies. I think the point ojbyrne is making is that your selling point is you're hot and are therefore inviting people to comment on that when really we should be commenting on the interview and therefore we're wrong to criticise those that do comment on your appearances etc because you're making that the focus.

Is the video jittery and crazy for anyone else? This is hard to watch.

  I noticed it jittered like hell on my phone, while viewing it on my laptop it still jitters, but only slightly. Might be rendering issues due to high resolution video being decoded ?

I wonder if it's just a coincidence that http://jessicamah.com/ http://jessicamah.com/ is offline at the moment?

Check out wistia... it is analytics for video. You can actually see how many people stayed to the end. Or if people leave do they leave at the same moment etc. Can be very useful
