Not bad... it's a bit lengthy though.

I'd suggest to cut it to 10 - 15 minutes, and also to distill the core of the discussions on HN instead of chatting about your own opinions. Also cut out the first 70 seconds where you apologize and rather explain what you are going to talk about.

And you might consider to record the audio of both persons on separate tracks and to balance them properly. In this video one speaker is twice as loud as the other.

Good luck and enjoy working on your next ones!

Thanks metachris.

I am using pretty trivial software at the moment. Don't think I can separate the tracks like that just yet. Maybe in the future, I will be able to do something like that.

If I cut it to 10 - 15 mins, and distill the core of the discussions, do I need a co-host then?

The idea behind the co-host was to get different perspectives. If we are just distilling it down to the discussion threads on HN alone, then I am struggling to see the point of a co-host there.

Thoughts?

I don't see a need for a co-host. I used to produce a half-hour weekly program in a similar interview format. Changing hosts mid-stream would have seemed artificial and disturbing.

Fair enough one010101...I am attempting a slightly different format - as you now know :)

So we will see how that turns out.
