Stick with the non-filmed podcast. What noise said and such.

Well, I don't think there would be any cost.
As far as sound quality, maybe I need a better mic? I am not really sure we have identified the root of some of the sound quality.
Now, interview episodes will have the quality limited by skype. These will typically sound like someone on a phone.
What specific issues are you referring to to the regulsr eps with just me and dave?

It may just be the way you're doing it? It just seems to me there are often dips in volume or quality that make you (John) hard to hear. A better mic and one of those noise filters might help that, but I'm no sound engineer. I know the guys over at Gamers With Jobs do a podcast that is not with everybody in the same room and it sounds great, maybe we can glean some tips there? I love the quality in shows like Idle Thumbs and The Giant Bombcast, but I'm pretty sure they sit in the same room with high quality mics and sound-baffling. I didn't mean to make you fret about the sound quality of the show John, sorry. I just wanted to state, if you think we can make it better and the barrier is cost, we should do a fundraiser or something.

I'm listening to the latest podcast now and it seems better than #51 to me. I guess I would only say the ambient background noise from John is a bit high sometimes and there was a bit of an echo at first. So ... you might be fine now. Sorry to derail.

The echo is baffling to me. Mustve been some hardware or software glitch. I know we have been fighting the noise for a bit. The only thing I could think it is picking up is my pc fans and my AC in the house. Sitting in the room, it sounds quiet. So that might be a case of needing to get a higher quality mic.
