I think it is a great effort & I appreciate it. Your accent is cool and you should keep it that way! ( I'm not a native english speaker)

The sound of your cotalker should be better. I know it is not easy when it is at a distance. I suppose if the person at the other end is a bit teckie, he/she can record the conversation by their side as well, and then they send you the file and you kix it. Or, even better, each one records only his own voice and then the mixing is rather easy just put the two files together (adjusting the timing).

I have no timr whatsoever now. But after christmass I could take part in a podcast. I will PM you.
