Peter J. and I have started a podcast on software development and  
becoming a better developer. While we’re not focused on Ruby, our  
first episode, about buying vs. building vs. forking, includes an  
interview with Dan B., who forked the Ruby 1.8.x branch to create  
the Sapphire programming language.

The full interview, and links to the audio of us talking about it can  
be found here:

We’re serious about making this podcast worth your time in the weeks  
and months ahead. We’d love to hear any comments or suggestions you  
might have.

Thanks,  
Chris S.

I’ve added your feed :-).

I really liked your inaugural episode, not too short to be content-free  
but  
not too long to get repetitive.

Have you considered an ogg feed or some other free lossy feed? The  
encoding  
time is fairly low, especially for shorter episodes, and while I can  
play  
MP3s I prefer freer formats when possible.

Hats off you you,  
Dan
