I second the Sanza Clip idea. The recording quality is remarkably good, considering what it is. I've found you can still get a fair amount of handling noise with it attached to a stick, but if you keep a steady grip on it, it works very well this way. Another approach for interviews is to use

I think it's clear that HPR needs a couple of regular shows -- that is, tech podcasts released through HPR instead of on the producer's own on a regular basis. I, personally, don't feel qualified to produce a tech-based program, and I don't have a buttload of time, anyway, but I'd be willing to

I second Klaatu's assessment. Ham radio is such a huge, complicated topic, it might be very useful to have one or two "non-hams" on the round-table, to act as surrogates for ignorant listeners like me -- people whose only function would be to ask basic questions about what ham radio is, how you
