I need some feedback about Books and Ideas
This post is a request for listener feedback. When I started podcasting in December, 2006, I started two podcasts simultaneously, the Brain Science Podcast and Books and Ideas. My original intention was to use Books and Ideas as a more personal podcast, and as a place to put material that didn’t fit into the Brain Science Podcast.
However, Books and Ideas has evolved into discussion of non-fiction books. Needless, to say this requires significant preparation time. Meanwhile as the Brain Science Podcast has grown, I am struggling to find the time to prepare both shows, since I do everything (including audio editing and web design) myself.
So, I am forced to admit that I can’t continue to put out Books and Ideas twice a month. Yet I still want to keep the feed alive since I think there is already some good stuff there and I still need an outlet for non-brain content.
I would appreciate your feedback and ideas.

Dear Ginger, (though not as formally “educated” as you, I figure my 81 yrs. give me license to call you “Ginger”)
I admire and enjoy BOTH your podcasts equally, and download and listen to them as soon as they come out.
My selfish suggestion is that you podcast as often and as long as you are able to, as I find your style and content pleasant, enjoyable and informative.
Just to balance this, I’ll mention that though my 28 yr. old son likes the content, he does not enjoy your style and voice as I do!

Dear Mr. Valderrama,
Thank you so much for posting your comment of encouragement. Its really neat to know that I have listeners of all ages.
I just posted a new episode of Books and Ideas and I am going to try to continue to put it out about once a month.
If your son has any suggestions on improving the podcasts, I would love to hear them too.
