It's a wonderful song that exposes the paternalism that people feel on the occasional times when people "care" about them. I just wanted to share the song. I'll take in down in a few days. <strong>Editor: </strong> I removed the URLs to the MP3s that were previously in the above comment.

I need to try this myself sometime. Problem is most people I interview aren't tech savvy enough or don't have the gear to record their own audio. But everyone can use a phone. Not really the case in the above example... it was just easier to talk on the phone. ;-) I'm glad your digging the shows! Thank you for commenting. Good suggestion Stephen.

Of course, I have a suggestion. If both parties record their own end of the conversation with a good mike, then you can mix the two recordings to eliminate sound of the low-bandwidth analog phone line. I'm sure people talk about this already. And, it's another step (although a simple one.) I enjoy the shows, Stephen Very cool to hear a remote interview on a podcast. Of course, I have a suggestion.
