Do you ever feel like hearing me rattle on instead of just reading it? Here's your chance!
You can listen to the first episode of the ScienceBlogs podcast, in which I speak with Katherine Sharpe about the evils of plagiarism (among other misdeeds) in the world of science.

No offense, but why would I want to hear you when I could read you? What possible preference could I have for a presentation that proceeds at a pace I cannot control and puts you on the spot rather than allowing you to take your time and put your best arguments forward? Multimedia is for content that cannot be provided better by text.
If I wanted my computer to make noise, I'd lick my finger and rub the monitor.

I'd slightly second Bill. Sound is useful for stuff that can't be conveyed by text, and as a supplement to text (listening to AiEaS while jogging would be cool), but is no substitute for text in most cases.
Still, the computer geek inside me is cheering you on. Cool concept :)

Thanks for a provocative discussion. I'm considering transcribing it, publishing it verbatim on my own website, and representing it as my own work.
In all seriousness, I'm glad I stumbled across perhaps your most engaging and eloquent blog. Happy Mother's Day!

Andy gets my vote for best comment!
I'm also torn between Hooker and my inner geek, especially being a radio person before starting a blog. However, I'm having trouble downloading the podcast from the site (am using Firefox) - has it been removed?

The podcast should still be there. (I can't do a test download since I'm away from my own computer for a few days.) I'll enquire with our tech deities and see what gives.
