September 7 Confab ("Confab 2.0")

Confab was quite a bit different this week - we've made some big changes that we now refer to as "Confab 2.0."

The bulk of improvements were driven by listener suggestions - we wanted to spend more time highlighting the fun, interesting, or thoughtful bits of the evening's conversation. To that end, we're now making use of cross-fades, have done away with the classic "go around the table and introduce yourself" beginning, and will be doing a better job leveraging the Confab Web site.

The result is, I think, a much better, punchier, and more-relaxed podcast.

(It also means that Confab is truly "made" in the editing room - Keith and I were up until 12:45 this morning getting the final cut all together.)

You can get the show here, or through automatic subscription in iTunes. Enjoy!

Comments

You know I was over at the Confab site wondering why no one had commented on our fabulosity only to discover TypeKey doing that "Account not set up for this feature" thing when I tried to sign in so I could comment on how great and hilarious we all are. So I'm forced to do it here and with a side of bitchy-complainer tots too!

Seriously though - fun show to do AND fun to listen back to - despite my ridiculous voice. An aside: I always wondered how Sarah Vowell did it. Now I know - either she has no concept of the havoc she wrecks or she's excellent in the denial department. I must strengthen my denial kung-fu.

As for the show, I think the new changes are taking this in the rightio direction. As the writers over at Top Model will tell you – the key to a good story is all in the editing. Nice work editing Keith and Gavin! And keep on striking Writers of America's Next Top Model!
