Hi Michael,
Really enjoyed the podcast on “Fan Relationships” #24. Have an idea; when you and Brian finish your podcast for each week, and you give us a topic of what’s going to be coming next, such as using WordPress for Blogging, how about a phone line for us to call in to ask specific questions and for those questions and answers to be played back on the podcast.
This way, any thoughts we have as artists or experiences you both may have had, can be shared on a more personal level in which we all can benefit and build a “relationship” together. In addition, maybe include phone calls or a couple of questions and or reactions form the previous podcast as a recap and for you to answer them for us too.
Again, really enjoy the podcast Michael and wish you and Brian much success!

Great idea, maybe a Google Voice number would work.
