One of the goals I've had for a long time is to try and keep the show under 30 minutes - ideally around twenty. As listeners know, this is incredibly difficult with interviews that typically last that long.
So what do you think? Should I separate interviews into their own "show" ( a la BuzzOutLoud model) and thus keep the shows down in length or keep them all in one big show.
It may really depend on your player. For example, when I use the Creative Muvo, it keeps track of where I am with each show and thus when I stop and restart, it picks up right where I left off. Other devices may not be so lucky.
Let me know.

Hey everyone. As you may know, Craig and Scott from Australia have their own Podcast with OzFoxRocks. They are still waiting for their server to have more bandwidth so in the meantime, here's a direct link to a mirror site which is much faster.
(note: this isn't linked as a regular FoxShow so that stats aren't skewed - but the premier OzFoxRocks show is a great one)
Enjoy!

Craig and Scott from the Australia Fox community put together a great beta (er alpha) tool in FoxTabs. I wasn't able to get to the latest video so I thought I would do up a quick screen cast (in Windows Media format) so you could have it yourself. It's a lot smaller than the other shows.
If you would like to see more of these or maybe think they should be available under a separate account, please send me some feedback to foxshow@gmail.com
Thanks!

The FoxShow is typically about 30 minutes long and we try to get it out weekly although it was two weeks from the last one but Eric's last comment got me thinking. Obviously shows that have a single theme (like the one on MSF will be longer) but for a show like FoxShow #15 which covered a variety of things:

FoxPro Podcast #1 - random thoughts on the industry, including the rants of the Visual Basic revolt, some interesting Visual FoxPro sites including the fox.wikis.com web site and their topic on what they would like to see in VFP 10.
(updated note: the audio didn't seem to come through on this so there's an open space at the end of this show) Here are some of the links mentioned: VB MVPs Revolt Rick Strahl's Weblog Microsoft Presspass News Release: Also in this is a note about my How Do You Use FoxPro survey available from my regular blog at http://akselsoft.blogspot.com. My first attempt - put some background music on and the mic quality may not be all that good but this is a start of what will be many podcasts and possibly even Vlogcasts on FoxPro and other topics.
