Hi Frank, I was just wondering if you have considered writing your introduction to the podcast in the second person? It is a little choppy when I copy and paste the description onto Facebook, etc… It sounds like I am saying it.
Just a suggestion.
Keep it up man. You are a valuable resource.

Frank, your podcast keeps me going! I am currently working for an urban compost collecting service in Victoria, BC in Canada called Pedal to Petal (check us out at http://pedaltopetal.blogspot.com/), and I listen to your episodes while I transport kitchen waste around on my bike. A huge thank you for all of the stimulating talks and discussions, I can’t count the number of episodes I’ve listened to recently–this one being the most recent.
I was exposed to Balle while living in Nova Scotia and it was great to hear Shuman talk about his ideas in a wider context. I especially enjoyed his agnosticism regarding the best possible approach to the coming changes and am excited to hear your most recent discussion with Doug Lain. Keep up the good work, and I will contribute more thought-out discussion points in the very near future.
