Note to would be Podcasters
It may seem like a cool idea to podcast with two different bloggers in the same room (With different computers) but there are to many technical issues.  One of which is hearing yourself speak through your headphones (My god that was distracting).  Having to set only one microphone to record and ensuring that your computer doesn’t overrule your muted microphone.  I had to fight to remove a second echo version of my voice on the podcast and it was not simple and was time consuming.

    You really should do an audio only version of this podcast. Not saying you guys have ‘faces for radio’, but it doesn’t need the video with it.

    Also, if you plan to talk about things like the taxation issue, do some research first.

    Cheers Guys.

      Its pretty easy to do an audio only version just minimize the video. Personally I do not and could not listen to an audio only podcast very long. Video is more engaging. Every liquor store and agent I talk to is just as confused as everyone else right now as the BC government is not disclosing all of the information. The actual total tax percentage just came up in conversation and we didn’t know. It was not planned.
