Now I feel really far behind!!
]]>I thought Derek’s Muckwork’s section was pretty interesting. I wonder if has ever considered BDD-styles specifications (e.g. >Cucumber, see also this, or RSpec and others).
I liked the suggestion of writing short posts also I really enjoy reading really meaty posts on subjects I care about.
]]>@Jason @Justin Damn it, I thought I had got the names right. This I will fix! Sorry guys.
“A listeners map of the world”
I the listener, using your logs or google analytics, put markers on the cities of where your listeners are from. Could lead to others from the same city meeting up. ( Oslo for me )

]]>Thank you guys and thank you Derek for the great interview!
]]>You’re right, I’m the one generally responsible for finding and inviting and coordinating with guest (along with coming up with show titles and writing show descriptions), while Justin does all the heavy lifting with the audio post production. For the most part it seems to be a pretty reasonable division of labor.
It’s nice to hear that you enjoy our interviewing style. While I still need to do some work on my interviewing technique, I do think that Justin and I have some kind of weird chemistry that seems to set our guests at ease making the interviews more fun and open than they might otherwise be.
Thanks so much for the positive feedback. We’ll keep doing our best. 😉
]]>So far I really enjoyed the interview shows because both of you had the knack of asking questions that brings in that extra personal dimension of the guest involved which always leave me with an impression of having a more intimate understanding of the guests.
And man I’m totally blown away with this interview. Keep up the great job guys!
Thanks Derek for such powerful insights and take aways and letting your warm personality shine throughout the interview!
]]>I’m not quite sure what you mean exactly by “add your city” under #1. Do you mean in the wiki or for the comments or for the mailing list or are you talking about something else entirely? #2 is a clever idea. For #3, I think you have us reversed. Justin is up 2-0. I definitely need to release something and in fact I’m beginning to feel a little constipated. 😉
]]>Jason… release something. Even if its a fish back into the river, Justin is 2 – 0 up.
😉
]]>This was another great interview.
Interesting side note…
I submitted your link to news.ycombinator.com to be redirected to someone else who had already done so. A great new feature for that site!
End of Side Note.
Having seen you guys evolve from the one show a week to the two shows format, one of which being interviews. Im vary excited about the “Daily dose of J & J”, JJ a day keeps the doctor away.
I have a sneaky feeling after a few days your content source for the 15 minutes a day will mostly come from HackerNews, which is a curious thing. As I have always thought a small chat show discussing a little in depth some of the posts would bring similar levels of interest as the actual post.
With that blurb done, your goal of 1000 downloads in a 48 hour window by the end of the year will be in your grasps far quicker than you think 🙂
Justin, even tho your words are far less than Jason’s your input is almost always top notch. I really liked the fact you asked Derek about his “thoughts.pro” and how you and I were both impressed by content of the site.
A few suggestions.
1)
“add your city” to where you listen to techzing.
2)
Via the wiki, ( should exist ) gaffes / funnies / quotes from the shows. and then pick 1 from each show to tweet out to twitter, as a semi long tail strategy.
3)
“I jest”, Justin… release something. Even if its a fish back into the river, Jason is 2 – 0 up.
Thank you for your show.
]]>In terms of talking to our guests like buddies, that probably has a lot to do with the quality of our guests. I can’t remember anyone we’ve had on that wasn’t friendly and easy to talk to. It think it also helps that it’s Justin and me together, which probably helps to loosen things up a bit.
]]>btw, great show guys.
]]>I know just how you feel man, I see a lot of myself too but the difference is he just doesn’t GAF 🙂
]]>By the way, next week Justin and I are going to start doing five fifteen-minute discussion shows (recorded and posted Mon – Fri) instead of a single longish discussion show recorded and posted over the weekend. Our plan is to do it for two weeks as an experiment, and one benefit I think is that I’ll be able to focus on improving my “broadcasting skills” on a daily basis.
]]>Jason, I think you only asked one question in the whole interview that ended in “yes” although I though it was funny that sometimes you started talking and then came back around to get a question out of what you just said.
Justin, it’s great to hear your questions over the last two interview shows, questions from both of you really seems to balance out the interview. In the last two interview shows you had great rapport with both Derek and Gabriel and that defiantly added to the conversation.
Another great show!
