I hope to see something more tangible in the future as it's an interesting area to explore. I think that's a reasonable policy. The last thing any of us want is to stifle debate or censor opinions, but we feel that it's reasonable to ask people to participate in debates and express their opinions without upsetting others. So we're going to do our best to find a middle ground. Bit of shame you feel the need to make a change given the circumstances you've detailed. I think you've done a fine job thus far. Appreciate your response!

SDB@79 I've used those tools before, but it's not the same as following a podcast on Podbean, and you're not going to get into anyone's search on the podcast services.

The average youtube show I watch now is over 90 minutes long and these are pretty popular so it isn't just me. (Of course, I listen to them at 2x speed...) Though, I don't expect there'd be much of a difference either way between 55 and 60 minutes anyway... it'd depend more on how it sounds and flows to see if it worth your time I guess. I do think it turned out ok as it is btw.

I'd like to suggest that you don't make these "micro-cuts" through the interview/discussion, let it flow. I've been seeing this around these videos and I think it's better to let it go as is (Like it was live). Or if possible have the 2 versions (With and without cuts). Thanks! Unfortunately, I disagree about the cuts. The primary motivation is to trim the length of the video down. I think that's important for YouTube videos. The cuts I make can cumulatively lop several minutes off the video. I wasn't as aggressive with this one as I have been with the DConf Online vids. Most of what I cut out was dead air, but I also got rid of a few uhs and ahhs, a handful of tied tongues, and a couple of instances where one of us had to start over again. As for two versions, I'm not really interested in adding the extra time for that to my workflow :-)
