This week I have a special edition of my podcast. It is a recording of an online discussion myself, Mike Downey, Kevin Lynch and Eric Whitman had on the history of Flash. Originally recorded on August 9th, 2006.

You can find more information on the Flash 10 Year anniversary here.

You can watch the Breeze presentation that this podcast was recorded from here.

Just a quick reminder, but I posted a new Podcast on Friday afternoon. This podcast includes a discussion around Apollo as a Runtime with some members of the Apollo engineering team.

You can find more info as well as grab the podcast from here.

Btw, I don’t normally re-link articles like this, but wanted to since the podcast was posted late on Friday.

As I mentioned last week, I decided to start up a new podcast. Christian and I had done a couple of podcasts together last year, but as they took too much time to produce, we ended up not having time to do very many. My podcast will be a little less polished, but hopefully I will be able to do them a little more consistently.

I have just uploaded the first podcast.

I think I am going to start up a new podcast pretty soon. I already have an idea what I am going to do on it, but wanted to check here and see what everyone would be interested in hearing about, or who I should invite onto the podcast?

Suggestions? Post them in the comments.

A couple of weeks ago, we put together a contest encouraging everyone to take advantage of the creative commons license the podcast is released under. We announced the winners in the latest podcast, and for your reading and listening pleasure they are also listed here:

• Burak
• Richard Leggette
• Ben Stucki

If you are one of the winners, send me an email (mesh@macromedia.com) and I’ll send some cool stuff your way.
