Ah, yes. Fair point. We tried to strike a balance there. Some of our audience will be complete n00bs - e.g. people who happen to come across the podcast in iTunes who just happen to be interested in language generally, but have zero knowledge of linguistics. Some will be very advanced conlangers with linguistics PhDs and years of research & conlanging behind them. We have to appeal to both - so, we try to explain any jargon we use and open with relatively fundamental stuff (so as not to scare the newbies) yet address topics in some depth (so as not to bore the oldbies). Especially so in the intro podcast, as it's intended to be an explanation of who & what we are. Subsequent podcasts will get into more advanced topics. As mentioned in the podcast - if you're interested in contributing something (about Lojban or otherwise) let us know. You're welcome to make it as introductory or in-depth as you like - though we'd prefer something that covers the spectrum (either within the course of one episode, or over several episodes in a series), just for the sake of increasing the audience accessibility. - Sai To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
