  My question is more meta: why 4 podcasts in 2 years? I follow a few podcasts myself which do it week-in-and-week-out, and I'm jealous, but not jealous enough to make the podcast a higher priority than e.g. date night. Keith and I have been pretty busy since the podcast started. I got married, he and his wife had two children, etc. Our schedule is generally sort of at the mercy of "We both need availability" plus "We both need to have something fresh to talk about", and recently I find myself with very little to talk about that is both novel and appropriate for public consumption. Basically, I want to know where producing a podcast ranks among the various ways to build a professional brand on the interwebs. I know people who are pretty effective at having done it, but it isn't the primary reason people know who I am. (Blog, Internet commenting at places like HN, conference speeches, in my case.) I mostly do it because I enjoy doing it, and it gives me a built-in excuse to chat with smart people about interesting subjects while also teaching other folks, both of which are interesting to me.

    Congrats on your marriage. I really enjoy your blog posts and podcasts and comments here on HN. They taught me a lot. Thank you.
