Volunteers can and should do constructive things that make them happy; doing a podcast would be a lot better if it included a transcript. I used to do a podcast of Fedora Weekly News, which I assume is acceptable by Seth's standards because it was an audio reading of the already written news. I'd be very hesitant to put a Fedora Project stamp on any podcast that didn't similarly try to cover as many bases as possible. -- Paul W.
