Podcast #2

This is the second episode of the StackOverflow podcast, wherein Joel and I discuss the following:

• Why have a podcast at all? What's the point?

• A discussion about some the podcasts Joel listens to: John Dvorak, Adam Curry.

• StackOverflow podcast transcription wiki courtesy of FogBugz

• New RSS feed at blog.stackoverflow.com, with podcast specific RSS feed courtesy of podpress.

• Podcast feed submitted at iTunes, PodCast Alley, Yahoo Podcasts and Podcast Ready.

• Sound quality concerns (we're working on it).

• Why we require audio submissions for questions.

We also answered the following listener questions, with a lot of peripheral discussion on related topics:

1. Nathan Stohlmann: How do we plan to keep religious discussions from happening on stackoverflow? will we provide a way to show implementations in multiple languages?

2. Matt Youell: How will we handle spam or reblogged content from stackoverflow? What about licensing issues with user-generated content?

3. Andrew Davis: How will we prevent stackoverflow quality from diminishing over time as the site becomes more popular?

4. Andre Bluehs: Should I learn C++?

If you'd like to submit a question to be answered in our next episode, record an audio file (90 seconds or less) and mail it to podcast@stackoverflow.com.

The transcript wiki for this episode is available for editing.
