Rare audio of both metaverse evangelists on Voices in Business

Roo and I did a podcast the other day. It is a rare thing for us both to be recorded at the same time.
You can listen to it here on Mike O’Hara’s Voicesinbusiness blog.
Just in case you cant tell the difference Roo is the posh sounding one and I am the slightly less posh (or scruffy) sounding one.
We covered a lot in a single take and it was both where all this has come from where it is going and where it is now. So good stuff.
I am not going argue over the billing with Roo first as Mike actually came to see Roo but I had gap appear in the diary so joined in too.

  1. A transcript would be good. We didn’t record this ourselves, it was Mike’s company Virtual Worlds BusinessCast, and I don’t think they provide a transcript normally (though they should… hint hint).

    I’m tempted to improve my typing by sitting down for half and hour this weekend (well, let’s be honest: a couple of hours really). CastingWords is another possibility. Maybe some kind reader with better typing speed than I have will get there first. 🙂
