The week that was

I'm experimenting with my weekly podcast, After the Bell, which is now available. Give it a listen and let me know what you think. In this edition, I talk to Reuters blogger Felix Salmon about what in the world's going on lending, among other things. Musical assistance from Mellow Drum Addict, BB King and The Jayhawks. If you'd like the podcast to download automatically each week, click here. Sorry for the delays and light posting today. We're working on some web projects, the fruits of which you'll see very soon!

I'm not sure what you're experimenting with, it sounds great as usual.

What I wish you WOULD experiment with is a lightweight taser for some of your colleagues who think that a "podcast" is an RSS link to an article on the Web. Your podcast RSS links right to the MP3; this works great from my mobile, I can download the audio file and listen immediately. Same with NPR's Planet Money podcast. But an RSS to a web page all but breaks my mobile's web browser (we can't all be exploding iPhone users), and I can't get ... uh, the podcast. Mission: FAIL. Could you go on a "let me help you with this" tour of your webmasters' cubes and explain it to them? Thanks....

Um, if by "experimenting" you mean giving us a rerun of last weeks show, I will have to give the experiment a thumbs down. But I assume you meant to post something new.

Thanks, Eric. Apologies. We seem to be having some technical problems this week, with these web projects we're working on. I'm trying to fix ASAP.
