Roger and Tom discuss their 10th episode, welcome new listener, Andy, answer an email from Jason about free speech and getting started in Journalism, talk some more about free speech, including hate speech, wander off into reminiscing about TechTV, and finish up with sound educational advice that neither one of them followed.

Congrats on show number 10. I was going to post a larger comment, but, its TOO large, so I’m emailing it to you guys. GREAT SHOW! Thanks!

Looks like another listener! GO EAST MEETS WEST!

actually, enjoyed the podcast while taking a breather from my studies. i’m an avid listener of Buzz Out Loud and i heard the website mentioned in the latest TWiT during Tom’s introduction…i’m assuming you guys must be wondering how i stumbled across your podcast. kind of amusing to finally find out who this Roger cat is that Tom was dropping the name of during Buzz Out Loud. well, i’m subscribed through iTMS so congratulations on your 50% increase in listenership. i look forward to hearing more East Meets West.

It’s funny, Roger, that you mentioned the European laws banning certain discussions of the Holocaust. On NPR tonight they had a story about a man being jailed for saying that he disagreed with certain accepted parts of history regarding the event.

Actually it’s a 400% gain in listenership

They’re up to a whopping 7 comments on this entry, now. I think they should be proud! :D

“Ha Ha Ha America” it’s one of the short films from this past month’s Sundance Film Festival. something for you peeps to check out and possibly some creative fodder for Tom and Roger to riff on? oh, is there a general email for East Meets West or is it ok to drop info through the response channel anyone? just trying to figure out the norms, thanks.

Just so you can add me to your “official” tally of listeners, I thought I had better drop you a line!

Sorry, I told the world about this podcast! Secret’s out now… Mr. Leo Laporte knows, I recommended this podcast to him and in the interview with him I said they didn’t plug this on TWiT. And all the Leoville Town Square Podcast listeners know now… Hehe. More fans!!!

Double digit listeners for your double digit episode.
With listener Julie, you almost certainly have the largest percentage of female listeners for any tech podcast. Over hear from TWiT- glad to hear Roger is back among the employed. I was surprised to hear Leo knew nothing of your podcast- you should plug it a bit. I wouldn’t go as far as Dvorak ( although the Dvorak tireless self- promotion drinking game is always a hoot), but a tasteful mention will promote curiosity.

Wow! Thanks y’all. I listened to the LTS podcast where you mentioned it. Thanks! Leo almost sounded mad we hadn’t told him, LOL. I don’t think he has to worry. We’re hardly competition for TWiT. We’re not even competition for Buzz Out Loud.
Really the only reason we haven’t plugged it at all is that we still consider it in Beta (getting mics, working out format, etc..) But hey, the more beta testers the merrier. Plus Leo was right we’re really just doing it for the fun of it.
I’m thinking the next episode will probably be Release Candidate One.
