I like the off-the-cuff style and the length. Maybe you could break it up for people who like it shorter, still allowing people like me who want a long podcast to listen to them in sequence.

I really liked the part likening managing production flow to a PID control loop. That may be a model that MBAs don’t study, giving engineers extra insight.

I also liked the part about how it’s expensive to buy a fab, but I think there are two sides to that. FPGAs give you huge flexibility, and the cost of bare fabs and assy services is very low.

In the future, you might pick some hot button topics like “lie detectors”, recent disasters such as plane crashes, alternative energy, airport security, and so on, and approach them from a dispassionate engineer’s standpoint.

I really liked the podcast; I think it will be a favorite that I will listen to every episode of. I’m not sure how far down the long tail I am though.

Hey Chris,

Great show, adding to what Fluxor mentioned I like the fact that the banter wasn't scripted but I would love to hear you guys talk about a single topic, I would love to hear the pros and cons to digital vs analog designs.

Great to hear all that geeky guy-talk. The off-the-cuff format is a bit scattered. My suggestion is to focus in on one or two topics and limit it to 30min at most.
