Jason follows up with a good question asking Phil how he chose who would be an investor in Blippy due to the large interest.

Videos not working on my mac…
–Ricardo
Why is the audio quality so bad, especially on itunes.
sorry, I ment video quality not audio, it looks really bad especially on my 22″
Is it me or is the video really out of sync from the audio in this episode? Both on the Youtube and the blip.tv version. Like a second or more out of sync.
Actually it’s only out of sync for 15-20 minutes or so at the start of the video. The rest of it seems fine at the moment.
Thank you for providing the MP3 as well!
We will fix it! thanks for pointing it out… also, it’s not super high quality huh?
Yeah, video quality was much lower than usual, although still watchable. After all it is a free podcast.
I must say, Phil is easily my favorite guest so far. In many ways he reminds of myself. Especially in regards to his sleep schedule and his reasoning for doing things. Keep the great work!
