I did actually listen to some of this and then totally forgot to say so. I listened to it the day you put it up, so a while ago, so I’ll give you my lasting impressions.
I think it needs to settle in a bit. You’re both intelligent, articulate, and interesting, but it does have that ‘brand new podcast’ feel. The other chappy (sorry, I’ve forgotten his name and can’t re-click it without losing what I’m typing) sounds a bit over-excited/eager, whereas you almost sound the opposite. Either so relaxed that you don’t seem too fussed, or maybe even a little reticent. Between the two of you it sounds like two different manifestations of first day nerves, but I think it will find its rhythm with time.
It also sounded, to me, like your friend had brought the content and you were the reactions guy, from the parts I listened to and remember, and coupled with the fact that he sounds louder, closer to the mic and more excitable than you, the dynamic feels a little imbalanced, but that might just be the bits I listened to. I think you personally need to have a bit more of the content, and just find the pace between you. I think it will work and you’ll find a natural pace and to and fro after a few episodes, and it will work lovely.
