Very nice episode! It is entertaining and most informative.
Funny, you mentioned the discouraging feedback exchange – I listened to several episodes of your podcast, and they were all of high quality.
I think, the interview partners are always very well chosen – there was not an episode, where the guest was a problem.
To put this comment into a context: in the CRE podcast I noticed a few episodes, where the interview partners were, hm, suboptimal, because they were not that eloquent or passed on some topics (e.g. synthesizers, digital audio, Javascript episodes).
A few suggestions, what you can improve:
– a voting system on the omegataupodcast website, e.g. like at the one at kuechenradio.org (using the scores, they have a very useful section ‘unsere Besten’)
– a new version of your intro-jingle/tagline – well, this is of course a matter of taste
– ogg vorbis audio versions and feed (for the avant-garde listeners ;))
Hi Georg,
thank you very much for your nice words; as per your suggestions:

this is a very nice idea. I will see if i can find a WordPress plugin
that does it.

hehe :) Is it the music you don’t like, or the wording of the tagline?
> ogg vorbis audio versions and feed (for the
> avant-garde listeners ;))
I am sorry I won’t do this in the near future. This will take up double
the webspace, doubling my monthly payment to libsyn :-(
Thanks for your input!

> ‘hehe :) Is it the music you don’t like, or the wording of the tagline?’
Well, both ;) The opening sound (‘flush’) is a bit too much, on ‘Omega Tau’ there is some reverb (or something like that?) and the tagline sounds a bit ‘cheesy’ in my ears (besides, not everybody uses headphones …). This makes the jingle a bit amateurish.
No offense – I hope the comment is not too harsh.
When I think about it – many podcasts I know have some opening jingle/music but no tagline.
> This makes the jingle a bit amateurish.
I think I know what you’re saying. I maybe got carried away a bit with effects and stuff – I don’t have much of a chance to play with effects etc. in the rest of the podcast :-)
I don’t have any cycles right now to do something about this, but I will keep it in mind.
We do have a tagline: “science and engineering in your headphones”.

Hi Markus,
I have just listened to this podcast. As usual, it was excellent. I particularly like the way you can recap so well what your interviewees say. It’s a sign of good listening and articulation.
I don’t usually provide feedback to any of the various podcasts that I listen to. It seems to be something that you want; and I can understand why. It might seem as though you are putting in a lot of effort for nothing. I can assure you that, if I am a typical listener, your podcasts are greatly appreciated. I suppose it’s just that we are not inclined to put effort into giving feedback. I’ll provide feedback on your site about the other podcasts that I have listened to.
I can’t understand the negativity that you talked about. Perhaps the person was simply trying to provide some constructive criticism from their point of view. Perhaps they have an aggressive style of communicating. I wouldn’t take it to heart if I was you.
Like I mentioned in my other (and first) feedback that I provided on iTunes after hearing my first Omega Tau podcast (the one on the Standard Model of Particle Physics); listening to your podcasts is like over-hearing a relaxed conversation between two mates on a bus.
I particularly like listening to your podcasts on my long walks. I guess it’s the rhythm and the blood circulating to my brain. I can focus on what is said for prolonged periods of time; provided I’m not distracted by what’s going on around me or wondering where I’m going. I generally follow well-trodden paths away from the traffic.
Keep up the good work.
Geoffrey
Thanks Geoffrey. As I said, we really appreciate it :-)

Eine tolle Episode. Sehr unterhaltsam und informativ, gute Gesprächspartner und sehr professionell und dennoch locker geführtes Interview. Weiter so!
Danke :-)
