Judy and I recorded our sixth show last weekend, and I think it’s our best yet. We talk about our wish list features for the next great elearning authoring tool. We rant about the flood of PowerPoint to Flash conversion tools, and we drink blonde ales.
It’s going well, and we’re having a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy it as much as we are!
My weekend plans are to add a beer list, a beer recommendation form and a show topic request form to the Emergent Radio site. (And, yes, in that order.)
So. Go forth and be enlightened by Episode #6.
