We've upgraded some of our audio equipment here after spending hours on our old setup trying to get things perfect.
This weeks episode is much better quality than the previous. Let us know what you think? We should have a few great interviews lined up over the next few months as well so we're all looking forward to that.

Hurray for our first ever Joomla Beat Podcast!
Please excuse the audio quality of the podcast for this recording. I chose the office as the first location of the recording and we didn't pick up the slight room echo, background noise or electrical interference on the recording while there. You may have not noticed it either until I told you but it does improve as I ran back to the home studio which is pretty much sound proof and recorded the rest of the show in much better quality.
We have much planned for the show including new voice overs, transitions, interviews and new segments to keep things entertaining and exciting.
I'd love to hear feedback in regards to the quality and content. If you wish to be on the show too, please let me know and we'll work out a time and schedule in an interview.
