Based on everyone’s feedback, Anna spent the past several days re-cutting and re-balancing the audio. I’ve just uploaded a new audio file in case anyone is interested. To add some context to this there were some technical issues that happened during that episode that made it exceptionally hard to cut together. On top of that trying to wrangle 5 different audio tracks, each with their own issues is no small feat and is a pretty laborious process.

A little inside baseball on our process. We typically record on Thursdays and (attempt to) release a show by Monday morning. Given that this is something we’re doing in our spare time, a 3 day turn-around has been, aggressive to say the least. In order to give us some extra time for editing and mastering we’re going to start releasing on Thursday morning. We’re hoping that the extra time to edit will lower our overall stress levels and help improve quality.

At the end of the day, we’re programmers and not professional audio folks. I can’t promise that our overall audio quality is always going to be as high as some people are going to want it. But we’ll do our best.

In the end we do this show because its fun. Our call is one of the highlights of my week. We don’t make any money, we don’t have any intention of doing ads, etc. We just really like talking to each other and talking about elixir. I hope that excitement and earnest-ness comes through despite any foibles with our editing and mixing.

Thanks for all the feedback. Let us know what we can keep working on .

We are up to over 20K downloads and to celebrate we had some special Friend of the Show on. @chrismccord, and @josevalim, thanks for coming on and making a great episode.

Great to see another episode

I was very eager to hear your views about the community and definitely agree about making it as accessible, welcoming and fun as possible - hopefully we have done a great job of that on this forum

Would also like to quickly mention that there are many people who may never go to a conference or local meet-up but nevertheless can (like many of our members here on the forum, IRC or Slack) still be a big part of the community… helping shape it into something special. In many ways the online communities are the first port of call for newcomers hence us trying to be as welcoming and helpful as we can please don’t forget about us when talking about the community
