There were a few inaudible parts when Daniel Larimer was speaking, though. It's usually just a single word, but i didn't dare to guess them from context. It sounded like missing audio packets from Skype.
Don't worry you're not alone with struggling with garbled words! I think the audio stream problems [jitter / packet loss] are made worse with guest speakers because they probably have "standard" microphones compared with the hosts of the show, and there's more background noise to contend with, etc.
Adam actually talks about this very fact in a recent episode. He says he's been having issues with recording of the show, it's because his options for Internet connectivity are limited in his area. He mentioned that he'd have to sign a (expensive) 3 year contract for a better connection.
Open question: How easy (or difficult) do you think it would it be for the participants of his audio conference to record their ends as well?
I'm thinking that it seems like a waste for Adam to be spending big dollars/coins on a new connection, especially if the real-time audio is the only major problem he has with his connectivity...
