So yes, the topic suggestion ranking system and the possibility of numbered shows are both great. Your hard work is massively appreciated.

Oh, and I also like the slightly longer length of this show this time.

This would be very easy if part of the comment stream was a transcript of your converstation (maybe broken into sentences or 'points' somehow). I realise this is hard to do, I'm not suggesting you have to type it in (voice recognition anyone?). But it would be cool.</p> Regarding the purpose of Shot Of Jaq in starting a conversation, one thing which I often want to do is respond to comments made by one of you during the podcast.
