I'm enjoying these quite a lot and want you guys to keep it up, the witty banter is just right. I would recomend a but more in-depth strategy, pehaps bring in guests who are Emperor level players to give their advise in a particular area, idealy even get some of them to debate each other.

I'll second Imran's response for the most part -- to be most accurate: I like this idea. Imran, this "actually" qualification... you were surprised? Tisk, tisk. We'll see what we can do.

For the record, I'm ~50/50 on Chieftain and Warlord.

Ok, I didn´t listen to the whole show. Just bits and pieces, but what I heard sounded ok, contents wise. I'll give that a 6

Out of curiosity were you listening to specific segments then, e.g. making use of the content summary provided? If so, which ones?

The sound quality on the mp3 is appalling though. I'll give that a 1, 'cause it's really annoying. You should really use better microphones and a muffler that takes away the huffs and puffs of exhaling. [..]

Ah -- the huffs and puffs issue. I believe that has improved for all of us since we started, but yes it's still present and it's too much still. I believe I have a solution to suggest (to myself included ). (Would be effective Episode 08.)

You got the banter down and you cover interesting subjects. If you only get the sound quality up you might have a hit show on your hands Overall I rate this average. It has great potential

Your and Impaler[WrG]'s comments -- noting what you like, dislike and suggestions for improvement -- are exactly what we are looking for on an ongoing basis from listeners; just as importantly, you both communicated them in a supportive and constructive way.

Thank you kindly.

I listened to the intro and then I jumped to the civics discussion and the "Yin-eats-cardboard" thing. It's hard to find the separate segments though. Maybe list the segment times to facilitate easier acess to separate segments?

Another thought that struck me is that you and Imran have a real Beavis and Butthead thing going. I almost waited for someone to say "hehehe, you said boobs, hehehe"

No.
Imran is under my protection.

Ban DanQ if you like, though.

That's what the musical interludes are for.

Hmmm... I may just take you up on the suggestion. If someone would like to volunteer to do this with Episodes 1-6 plus the pilot, please post them in the appropriate threads.
