Wow.... Such high praise from you.... I am very honored. :) Thank you! I plan to look into ccmixter later tonight and take a look.

You and San are much in the same mind -- of getting together the podcasters and do something with that (either with a website/webring or on talkshoe). :)

Hopefully I will be able to attend this friday's episode! =^.^=

Jump the shark? NEVER! You are cooler than Fonzie ;)

Do I sense a spiritual shift in Mr Lockman?

Can't wait for tomorrow. Go CTC!

San

So that makes three of us that think we need to do some kind of get-together... maybe talkshoe could be the way. I'll do my best to not be bothered by work during the recording :)

Hey Scott (two t's?),
Just listened to your latest podcast and your talk about Richard Gere and I thought you might be interested in reading this. Its some interesting tidbits about Mr. Rogers.

He had a similar mentality in always trying learn and experience new things from other people.
Its no wonder he was able to entertain generations of people. I especially like the subway story.
Keep up the great work, enjoying the podcast very much,
Take care

Scott,
I listen to your podcasts often when driving. Your gentle but thought refections on life, teaching, and exploring a new country are very engaging and soothing to me. #86 was an expanded positive experience for me not at all too much. I have listened to all the past episodes over the past years and next to edtechtalk episodes are the first subscription I listen to without fail. Thank you for guiding me to FInding Japan and Chris as I am now also playing catch up with his work. Unfortunately I focus on the audio but hope spend some time on the computer this summer watching some vlogs.

Thank you for your good work. I do think you should consider the NPR contest if possible. I believe you have some of the soothiing thoughtful qualities that have made Garrison G., John Edwards and Scott Simon important voices in my radio experience. A reluctant poster and blogger, so soak your ego in this compliment and know that there have been dozens of time I have felt appreciation and want to let you know how valued and special I thought your sharing life glimpses were.

I wish I had more expertise or experience to share in this dialogue, all I have is my gratitude and thanks.

I have created many an audio log that I thought was horrible for audio consumption even by myself. The few months before my wedding I made a habit to do that everyday. It was a bit relieving to get those things out there and be able to hear them but it just didn't have a refined quality that would please anyone.
It's always good to hear you and it is a welcome part of my commutes. Can't wait for Ep.88 and CTC 4.

All: Thank you very much for the kind and generous comments.

Wish I had time and energy to respond to each, individually.
