You have a great radio voice, Fuzheado! Spent a bit too long talking about vandalism for my liking, but I guess everyone's cast will reflect their own interests. :) great first cast! Nice stuff.

I hope you will find enough subjects to cover a weekly episode, and I hope you will find a lot of subjects that will be interesting outside the en:pedia as well. Keep up the good work (and try to find a nice lady voice as a good supplement :-) I heard now most of the first episode, and I love it.

I have to agree with Dvortygirl. A very good overview o the near latest information of things. What I would like to see is more information about accedemic research on Wikipedia. On my blog (www.stoygeek.com) amd in my academic publishing and presenting I have covered several wikipedia topics. Keep up the excellent work! SG Lads,

Excellent work. I have to agree with Dvortygirl. A very good overview o the near latest information of things.

What I would like to see is more information about accedemic research on Wikipedia. On my blog (www.stoygeek.com) amd in my academic publishing and presenting I have covered several wikipedia topics.

Keep up the excellent work!

Wikipedia, as the largest of the projects, is at the forefront in vandal fighting and many other aspects of building and maintaining a wiki. THe tools, techniques, and discoveries need to be promulgated so that other projects can take advantage of them. Even though I'm a veteran of Wiktionary, this podcast was a helpful review of some ideas and an introduction to others. In Wiktionary, newcomers often paste in definitions and other matter from other dictionary sites, something we try to avoid. How might we get Wherebot running on Wiktionary, too? You've mentioned a lot about Wikipedia as a zeitgeist and a first source for information regarding current events, but there is a project specifically for news. It's still smaller, but if more of the Wikipedians knew about it, perhaps some of the current events followers would lend their time to helping complete it. It's fairly clear to me that the community exists even if awareness does not, yet. Indeed, as you begin to find your rhythm, segments on the sister projects in general would help to build Wikimedia projects into a more complete whole.
