Have not finished listening yet so I won't comment on the content yet, but why only 41kbs?
:X
Still though, thanks for producing shows like this (I will edit later with my comments)!
EDIT: (Below notes taken as I listened)
Well... to he honest... try to let the other people have plenty of time to complete their thoughts. I don't know how this is edited and I am assuming you want to keep it moving fairly quickly, but I feel that some opinions may be cut short. I prefer a laid-back style so perhaps that's just my personal preference. Seems rather rushed
[After edit: This improved as the show went on, but still try and let people finish their thoughts!]
I enjoyed the opinion section about the robot development process and poof ball stories. Still, more time could be given to this subject. The self-plug was also interesting. Why does all the love go to the UTC? Bah... do you really hate Adam? [After edit: A little friendly competition never hurt anyone]
Podcast within a podcast? If I was a rookie I would just download that podcast separately. Not too sure if I dig this yet. "I love to look at visuals" Corny, yes? Very good info for rookies, don't let me fool you. With the batteries, you could mention using the AndyMark clip-insert-thingies to mark charged batteries (as they say on the pamphlet that comes with the kit). Seems like an AWEFUL lot for rookies. In our rookie year we had buttons and a single simple banner, but that was all of our promotional material. I think following KISS throughout your rookie season is good (getting a feel of things). As the cast within the cast went on the style seemed more relaxed, which is very good (in my opinion). Wish we had this information last year (actually we didn't have time to look for this sort of info)!
Again 41kbs (music this time) :x
Is this music even appropriate (or following copyright laws)

Sorry to drill out the bottom of your boat with the above comments. I, as always, enjoyed this FIRSTCast, but just wanted to be as honest as possible to help it improve in the future! Cya at UCF (lets win this picture-taking-contest-thing)!
