After doing some testing and talking a bit more with Doug (who has been a huge help) it appears that a Skype-only system may not be able to give us the quality and reliability that I was hoping for. I’m going to take a few days to think about how to proceed, but I’d be interested to hear what feedback other have. Thanks.

The LQ Radio intro spot is now ready. As always, your feedback is welcome – let us know what you think. I hope to have an update on our technical issues later today. I’d like to thank Tim for his help on this. He turned around what I think is a great intro in an extremely short amount of time. Much appreciated!

Thanks to Doug from IT Conversations I have a very good idea of where I was going wrong with the current LQ Radio setup. The good news is I wasn’t too far off. I’ll be off to the store a little later to buy one more piece of equipment. Hopefully I’ll have another update for you later. Also, the intro should be recorded tomorrow, so things are coming along nicely.

As you can probably see, the LQ Radio logo is now up. Additionally, we have decided on the follow slogan:
Open Talk.. about Open Source.

If you have any feedback on either the logo or the slogan, leave a comment. Thanks.

Thanks to david_ross, LQ Radio now has threaded comments, a feature that I think was sorely lacking. If you notice any problems with the new feature, please let us know ASAP. Thanks.

I asked over on My Blog, but I’ll ask here also. Where would you like to see LQ Podcasts posted – on my blog, where they currently are or here on LQ radio, in a dedicated LQ Podcast category?
