I listen to a lot of podcasts and its fantastic to have one about clojure. Sometimes this kind of podcaste (spezially new ones) have a stif tone but I liked the conversationel interviewing style in this one. The only bad thing I have to say is the length. I like it if the podcasts are longer.

  Glad you liked Chas's interview style! Length is a tricky one. I rarely get time to listen to a whole hour in one go so I actually prefer 20-30 minute episodes. Looks like the average length of all the podcasts I have in iTunes (427 episodes of various shows) is ~35 minutes so that covers quite a range of lengths.

    The german podcaster Tim Pritlove does Shows that sometimes take up to 4h. Because the guest had a couple hourse to explain a topic you could really get understand the topic and thanks to that I picked up Lisp (actually Dylan). If you speak german and are intressted in PLs: Dylan: http://chaosradio.ccc.de/cre031.html http://chaosradio.ccc.de/cre031.html Lisp: http://chaosradio.ccc.de/cre084.html http://chaosradio.ccc.de/cre084.html C++: http://chaosradio.ccc.de/cre063.html http://chaosradio.ccc.de/cre063.html

  I'm glad you liked it! Of course, it's impossible to satisfy the longer/shorter contingents. I can't say I can promise that the length will be consistent though, so maybe everyone will have something to love/hate soon enough. :-)

Nicely done! One of the things I've seen happen to a lot of technically-oriented podcasts is they become irregular and then eventually disappear. I think with a topic like Clojure you have a lot to discuss, since it's rapidly evolving. If you can't find people to interview or the community has been otherwise slow, you can always talk about facets of Clojure (threading & STM, etc).
