Maybe we will release an MP3, and Idea that n.e.r.d. had before FIRSTCast came out... however we respected that you acted on it first and felt like if we started an audio podcast we would be stepping on your toes... we would not want to steal listeners.

Putting out an MP3 audio file won't steal listeners from other podcasts. If anything, you'd probably gain listeners. Just because FIRSTCast releases audio doesn't mean you guys can't either. The more options you have for people, the better.

I do agree that the podcast could use some more substance and content for each episode. But I think that will come with more time and experience.

I see that you guys are thinking to the future and that you don't want the podcast or N.E.R.D. itself to seem reserved and such. However, right now I'd say work with what you got. You have a lot of teams in a closely compacted area. The podcast is called N.E.R.D. Vision after all, so why not go out and interview some East Coast teams. Get the word out about them. Many of us don't know much about teams from out East. I'll admit it, I don't. I've been to VCU once and that was my only 'out East' experience.

Anyway, I'm rambling some. My point is, I think it would be cool, if even for only 5 - 8 minutes, to interview a team, see what they are working with and find out their history. How they came about, any cool stories that aren't well known but maybe you guys could make well known.

Just an idea, do with it what you will.
