Good luck with the live show. It’s a shame that the podcasting group in New York never took off. You’d figure that in a city of millions something like that could be fun, interesting and attract a larger group of people. What do you think?

I think the meetup group got off on the wrong foot… alienated a lot of people… for a long time the meetups were like 5 people in the back of a diner, and probably a lot of people who tried it out were turned off… then when we started having them at Ariel’s place the group really came alive again – unfortunately as podcasting was starting its long decline.
