		<description>This is part of why I stick to writing. I don&#039;t have time to LISTEN to podcasts much less produce one, but I&#039;ve been doing technical writing on everything from car repair to electronics, programming to information security, and beyond.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We recorded one episode about a year ago.  It ended up being botched due to feedback. Now, every time my buddies and I think about podcasting, it sounds cool for about 10 minutes. Then we realize how much more work it is.  The work that it takes to record it, produce it, edit it, and upload it eats into the time that any of us could be spending on researching and writing. That doesn&#039;t even start to touch on the fact that our schedules would have to all work out in order to record it together, even via skype.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I miss the info from Alternageek, but the truth is I couldn&#039;t listen as often as I wish i could have. A daily or 3x weekly written brain dump seems so much more efficient to me.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Best of luck in whatever you choose!</description>

		<description>I had something meaningful and thought provoking written out before but I lost it, so I&#039;ll try to keep it simple. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I stopped my show for many of the same reasons you stopped yours and I too feel like I need to teach and help those that would benefit from my knowledge. I could forget it and move on, but I&#039;d never shake the urge to try again, and I don&#039;t know if I want to live with that &quot;what if&quot; hanging over my head. That&#039;s my opinion however. You have your own and your own life to live. My advice is to follow your heart. If you can stop and not look back--then don&#039;t. But if you find yourself wondering &quot;what if&quot;, then give it another shot. There aren&#039;t many successful podcasters outside of the mainstream techtv crowd, but we can be just as tight of a community if we try. So if you start your show back up, I&#039;ll do what I can to support it, and if your format permits, contribute as well. When everyone supports each other it can only make the KC podcasting community better.</description>

		<description>Hey, I totally understand. I&#039;m thinking about resurrecting my show as well for much the same reason, but I too have some of the same challenges.  I&#039;ve been waiting for the right time to jump back into things, but it just never seems like things fit together just right. Between working in a data center 45 + hours a week, attending school part time, and dealing with 6 pets, 1 child, and a home to help take care of, it seems impossible to consider, but after three back injuries, two knee injuries, one ankle, and a serious case of tendinitis in my elbow from the work I do now, I realize I work at the low-end of high-tech and I&#039;ve got to do what ever I can to improve my life and still see to my own happiness too.  There are people out there that need our help and I feel I&#039;ve accomplished more by helping one person than I do building out an entire network of servers.</description>
