    Great podcast, although perhaps a little short (we want more!). The contents were good though and the topics were very interesting and relevant. Brigid, where were you in this episode? Your vocal presense was missed! ^^

    Thanks, Dock! I had podcast block this week—after the Tokyopop hullabaloo, I couldn’t think of anything to say. I’ll be back on the next podcast, in two weeks. I must say Jack did an exceptional job this week. And it’s not just the new mike!
