I tried this podcast once - found it embarassingly pretentious, with terrible musical interludes set too high in the mix. Conery's speaking style really rubbed me up the wrong way. But I'll maybe give it another go. Maybe he's got it under control since then.

Totally agree, it was painful for me.
If the alternative is "rubbing you the right way"... I'll pass :). If you had the time to be a bit more concrete with your thoughts - it would probably help. I'm not an audio engineer, I'm a developer like you.
Don't worry, I'm not going to get all Christina Aguilera on your ass. Anyway, I do admire your ambition at attempting something a little different from the 'guys chatting' norm.
Agreed, though it might have improved; it just seemed as if they were trying too hard to explicitly imitate Ira's speaking style.

This is exactly what it sounds like. I don't understand the appeal of this, sounds like a ton of work just to sound like someone else.

Well, I don't know, I'm a Trent Reznor fan so I like the music.
