My fellow on Facebook shared this link and I’m not dissapointed at all that I came here.

I wish there was a transcript so I could read it on the subway (Toronto) on the way home!

Actually, it was great to hear both Chris G’s and Darren’s take on some stuff. And may I also add my congrats to the “big project,” although I’m also directing it to your wife and son. :)

Oh, and for those that can’t find a comment form at Perfomancing, you need to register if you want to see it.

Hey Darren, thanks for mentioning the interview. As always, everyone at Performancing thinks the world of you.

Thanks for setting such a positive precedent in the blogging world.

There is a download link up there now. I did consider having a transcript (my wife is a VA) but I thought against it so as not to spoil the surprise :)

Darren, I stumbled upon your project. Mind if I blog about it?

OK, after two silly comments above, I went digging in the source code of the performancing page. It’s a ShockWaveF’d page with a subtle error in the scripts, so it doesn’t display properly on some browsers, or if some ad-blockers are installed.

However, it seems you can download the 50Mb MP3 file http://performancing.com/podcasts/DarrenRowseCGInterview.mp3 directly.

Hope that helps.

My brow is still furrowed from the comments above which left me somewhat stupefied…

But it was an interesting interview, Darren, and big congratulations on your “new project”! :)

The comments on this post are hilarious and made great reading while I started listening to this great interview. Some people have no idea.

@Darren: if it’s not available as a podcast, why call it a “podcast interview” in the introduction? That created a false expectation, so some commenters are understandably unhappy, including me. I can’t download that interview to my podcast player, as far as I can tell.

Also, I can’t see any comment form on the performancing.com page, or any way to “listen to the interview”. I guess performancing.com is a badly-made web site and I suspect that’s why negative comments are being left on the better-made, easier-to-use problogger site, instead of performancing.com. Give the interview if you want (and mention it in a links round-up), but, rightly or wrongly, I feel that good sites like problogger have some responsibility not to promote dross with a full post of their own.

Very interesting interview, Darren. I listened to it yesterday at Performancing.

Performancing and ProBlogger are my number one source. ;-)

Giving it a listen now. It has been pretty informative so far.

Tim, Crazykinux, Garg, Thomas – these are all great questions and ones that I would encourage you to ask Performancing (the site who interviewed me). This is a little like saying to someone who was interviewed in a newspaper that the photo in it should have been color or that it should be have spread over numerous articles – I just answered the questions and left the rest to those presenting the interview!

Look, I don’t have the time to read long posts, can someone make a podcast out of this – err, wait…

A podcast might be a good idea.

Smaller, bite size bits.
