[lojban-beginners] Re: podcast (was Newbie Intro)



   I used the phrasebook on the Wiki, and plan to do so until it runs out. That's where I got {je'e} interpreted as "you're welcome." It frankly came as a surprise to me, but I figured if it were incorrect someone would have changed it. It is, after all, a Wiki. If you have any further changes to the phrasebook please take advantage of the Wiki to make them before it airs. In the meantime I'll issue cheerful retractions in the next episode. I expect the retractions segment to consistently be longer than the rest of the content. But the beauty of podcasting is that it's interactive like that. Forever a living breathing work in progress.
   Again, let me stress how much I welcome collaboration. Anyone who wants to download the free audio software Audacity and record a segment for the show can send me an mp3 of it and I will consider it for inclusion.

I just listened to it, and I have to say that I was very, very
surprised by the production value. I had a few issues with the content
(such as equating je'e with "you're welcome", that's likely to cause
confusion when people come to IRC and start getting told they're
welcome when they didn't thank anyone), and a mispronunciation of
"gismu" towards the end. Overall, however, it was pretty damned spiffy.

Good Work!

I had actually thought of doing a lojban podcast some months back, but
dismissed the thought because of a perceived lack of things to talk
about. I guess I didn't think about the beginners market. Something
else you may wish to look into is doing conversation or even interviews
over skype/sip/gtalk, which I know quite a few of us has (especially
skype).
