I've been podcasting JimPinto.com eNews regularly for over a year - since March 2006 - and some 300+ people seem to listen regularly. Indeed, those who subscribe to these podcasts over Apple iTunes and other RSS services, seem to like the "automatic" downloads and listen later, when they're ready.

As I previously mentioned (eNews 12 July 07) recording these audio podcasts is a chore - it takes only about 20 minutes to speak and record, but editing down to the final 12-15 minutes is something I don't particularly enjoy doing it, and it takes a couple of hours to do it well.

So for the last eNews issue, I hired Jimbot (my robot speaker). The feedback was mixed - many thought it was OK, some thought it was "fine" though perhaps a little soft (I'll make it louder).

Anyway, I thought I'd try Jimbot's female twin - Jeanbot - for the next podcast. Perhaps you'll prefer a female voice.

Please listen to the latest JimPinto.com eNews #234, 27 July 2007. Podcast, or download and save the MP3 file. Tell me whether you prefer Jeanbot or Jimbot, and how you think they can improve. It sure makes it easier for ME to do the podcast this way.

Please send me an email (click the link below) to let me know.
