Hi,
I enjoy this podcast series — keep up the good work, strive for guest commentators, and keep pushing subscription.
The recording quality could stand for improvement — audio levels are bit low and keyboard strokes are distracting. Call ins or instant messaging would be a plus — where/when are your recording sessions?
Thanks, George

Hi,
Great podcast. I listened to all 9 episiodes including the special episode, this week at work; and I am not even a registered Wikipedian yet. Note the ‘yet’ as your podcast has spurred my interest in becoming more than a User of Wikipedia, but instead to work on becoming a Contributor and Wikipedian in the future.
Keep up the great work!

there is a few clicks / exhales into the mic / sniffles in the background that i wish wasn’t there. really enjoyed the insights on Europe and the donations process, and hearing about how the wikipedia office is so small the tour would take 30 seconds – good chuckle on that one.

to expand on Danny’s talk of the linkspam channel:
If you have IRC (I use Chatzilla) you can look at a bot-feed of anything added to Wikipedia with ‘http://’ in it – great for removing linkspam (which is a growing problem). The bot itself is named Linkwatcher (User:Eagle_101/Linkwatcher), and you can see this feed at #wikipedia-spam (freenode), or ask about it on its talk channel at #wikipedia-spam-t. It really is brilliant to see; you can just do a couple of middle-clicks from the channel and get the page dif and view the potential spam link, making it simply a matter of to revert changes or not. You might mention more of this in next epsiode; i know they are terribly over-worked and could use more volunteers.
