I don't think I have much to speak of, but if you do think so, contact me by all means!

This is no criticism or fault of the podcast makers per se, but it's a -reality- of those -millions- of us who do not speak English as their first language, and even those like me who are proper bilingual. Be a bit more considerate to such people. |

Maybe Dan and Ravi could get an intern to transcribe the interviews. For anyone keen to get into the broadcasting business it would be something impressive to put on their CV.
I don't suppose YouTube's automated subtitles are that accurate? |

Would you skip the interview or repeat it a few times more? Do you still believe that skipping the interview has to do with a lack of interest in the content? Saying that someone has a dumb opinion for pointing out something that could be improved for an international audience is a bit narrow minded don't you think? |

Well done to all involved, was a great listen.
And I would take access to some of your guests with distortion due to them not having a great mic any day over missing out on their stories. Keep up the great work. Maybe a Galahad part2 one day? |

I watch German TV sometimes. My German is not great but I don't complain to the German broadcasters that I cannot understand the accent or if their live news broadcasts from the field are not always great quality. We're all entitled to our opinions I guess. Dan has also explained how he is dependent on the interviewee's recording equipment. |

Imo there is nothing wrong with pointing out the sound quality as something that could be improved for an international audience if possible. It's just feedback, not a personal attack towards Dan or Ravi that needs to be defended by all means. Last edited by Amon_RA; 11 April 2016 at 09:41. |

Cheers Dan and Ravi, I've listened to a few of your retro hour podcasts now, but this one was probably the most interesting for me. I may have had one or two Fairlight cracks back in the day....;-)

I am catching up to the podcasts episode and just finished that one and I must say it was really nice. Hearing testimony from the Galahad side of the fence was definitely interesting. But... (read below).

The thought that came to my mind while listening was "oh, what a voice, and I called him a kitten, I guess this one must be a fairly impressive kitty". Quote:
Sooooo many of the past episodes, I was taken aback by the sudden "thank you so much dear guest but we just reached the end of the interview" while the interview seemed to just have begun and reached proper momentum. Your guests overall are very interesting and seem to have an enormous amount of relevant and catchy stories to tell that constraining to such a short time frame almost feels like a crime. This interview was no exception, it was clear to me that Galahad could have said so much more about his work on porting ST exclusives, fixing buggy Amiga ones (Scramble Spirits! thank you again!!!), WHDLoad slaves, etc. By all means, make these interviews longer. I understand that other listeners might not want an extended duration podcast so if this requires adding a secondary "full interview" episode then that's just fine as well, you could have a "teaser interview" at the end of the regular show followed by the full Monthy on the next one.

It might be a good idea indeed to put the podcasts on Youtube to make use of that feature. |

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0d...tYuqd0el2_Y9YA Haven't tried the YouTube captions, but they tend to get lost with everything but the most pristine and teacher-like of accents. It's a good effort for being automatic though. |

Just discovered this podcast, and absolutely loved this episode.
Awesome to hear Galahad's story on Putty Squad, that's just amazing. |
