Thanks for doing this. Awesome to have something like this available.

Maybe I'll say something about the content another time, but:
the MP3 is 32 kbps bitrate? and 16 kHz sampling rate?? but nevertheless stereo??? Really?
This isn't 1995, you know. Sure, everybody wants to save on bandwidth, but it should be a half-decent quality.
Now, the hour-long show is around 13 MB. If you would use 64 kbps/ 44 kHz/ mono, it would be just 30 MB, and it wouldn't sound like you're underwater. Leo Laporte over at twit.tv uses this setting and it sounds great for spoken word. Stereo would be even better for the music of course, but you seem to have some bandwidth constraint??
I really want to listen to the show every week, so please Please PLEASE change the quality settings, ok?!
Other than that, I'm looking forward to some great shows.

Bye,
a fan from Germany

This is great. I'll be tuning in each Sunday evening. Thanks Mike for getting the word out in such powerful way.

Many are listening already, and in the months to come, many more will be.

Mr. Ruppert! Have been a huge fan for some time now, and of course I will listen to your lifeboat-show. I have to agree on the sound-quality...it´s bad! Please see if you can fix it. Greetings from Norway

Thanks for the show...it's great. Surely, there are dials or knobs that could bring your voice up from the 4th sub-basement. With the bass off completely, I could make out what you were saying, in case nothing can be done at your end.

The sound was fine for me after that first few seconds of hissing stopped.
