I just started using Ubuntu a week ago and listened to current as well as some of the earliar podcasts.
A few things I would suggust:
I'm from the upper midwest USA (Minnesota) and having a difficult time following what I think is an Aussie accent. I'm not sure what the solution is for that but maybe talking slower might help.
Balancing the sound. Getting better but not quite there yet.
I'd like to hear regular features in every broadcast. You could have regular segments for advanced users, new users, gamers, hardware configuration, etc. You guys seem to be covering all of these topics but it would be nice to have each segment announced at the start of the broacast.
Try looking up and downloading "The Future and You" by science fiction writer Stephen Euin Cobb for an example of how a podcast can be organized and each segment annouced at the outset. That is one that I listen to on a regular basis that's well organized.
I think those tweaks might help the broadcast sound more organized and professional and attract more listeners. There's no question that the knowledge is there and I appreciate your efforts. It's just that the broadcasts sound kind of helter skelter jumping from subject to subject, phones ringing in the background and other distractions.
