Very, very well done, Mark—and very well paced. Bravo.
The only thing that I might change is the music; you might consider limiting the music to the intro and outro (and shortening the intro).
Just out of curiosity, how are you recording? External mic to iPod? And then how are you post-processing?

Thanks for the comment, Caren. I’m recoding using an external mic to the hard drive of my computer, and mixing “live” with CastBlaster software (www.castblaster.com), which mixes in sounds with the voice, and has basic level controls. I also have a mic for the ipod which I’ll be using to get wild sound for “soundseeing” tours and interviews. I tested it out yesterday, and of course it’s harder to control the sound in that kind of setting, so I’ll be experimenting with different ways of processing it. You’re right. Going forward, I will only be using music for the intro and outro and for short punctuation between segments. Thanks for the suggestion.
i love it! great speaking voice, great tone. i instantly felt as if you were speaking directly to me, which is the appeal of the podcast to an average blogger. keep them coming.
Thanks for the comments. It’s great to get feedback. I’m already planning some improvements to the format.
