Some things are just weird, like listening to your recorded voice. But that happens, you need to redo your answering machine message -- no problem, 5 minutes and your are done.
You can listen to it yourself: http://elegantcode.com/2008/02/18/elegant-code-cast-episode-3-is-online/
I just listened to my own voice for an hour. It is one thing to be thinking "That is what I sound like" when it is only 5 minutes of pain. Pain of realizing that everyone else has a very different impression of what you sound like. But an hour of that beaten into your head, that is just cruel.
Then you start going through all of your old joke and impressions, wondering if they still work with your ACTUAL voice. Do I sound that dumb? Well granted, I'm not that smart, so who is to say on that one.
Anyway, we cover a lot of topics in a small timeframe. The idea is to give enough exposer to a topic that a listener can look it up later. And heck, that is what programming is all about these days anyway.
