  • Links to articles in notes

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for just about a month.

    It would be really helpful if links were provided in the episode notes to articles, websites, etc. referenced during the podcast episode to make finding and accessing that information easier.

    Other that that I’ve found the podcasts very interesting so far.

  • Good use of my time

    This podcast feed is the aggregator all SOA section podcasts. Some section interviews are more engaging than others. But overall I find most sessions to be informative and interesting, and I learn something (about the topic or the guest). Good job SOA!

  • I love the podcast but FIX YOUR AUDIO

    Great content, but interviewer sounds like he’s not even listening and is just going through questions.

    Still I love the people that get interviewed, and wish that the interviews could go longer (40+ minutes, maybe in a separate episode?). I’ve learned so much from this podcast.

    Sound quality is HORRIBLE. Please fix this.

  • Nice overviews

    While I’m personally interested in the research podcasts, each provides a short overview that introduces the highlights of a topic that I might then look into more deeply. I encourage all the sections to look into this.
