28.8.06 Letter from New Zealand, no. 3
In my latest Letter from New Zealand, I discuss the release of Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig, the Fox News journalists kidnapped by a Hamas faction called the Holy Jihad Brigades. I also go on about the Labour government’s failures, and why Dancing with the Stars even needs to be on the TV news, or, for that matter, last night’s Emmy Awards. I must say that the Podcast is meant to be semi-humorous, before anyone out there issues a fatwa against me.

Thank you, Peter! But I think I need to shorten these—when I edited it in Audacity, I got tired of hearing my own voice!
I don't listen to many Podcasts, but the length didn't bother me at all. I can say that I have listened to a few 1-2 minute shows that really should have been 10-15 seconds... In contrast, you packed in a lot of information and kept me listening and quite interested throughout the whole program.

Thank you, Peter! In that case I will not worry too much about length, and concentrate on delivering good content.
