    Very cool. I'm listening now. This is better than the radio! And thanks for the shoutout! :D :rockon:

    Edit: I had to stop playing it. It's too good. I'm going to download it and save it for the car. Who needs NPR?

    Great show guys. I'm without a stereo until mine gets repaired so now I have something to do. :p

    Seriously though, this is a cool concept!

    Thanks for the positive feedback, guys! It's a slightly different concept than what we do with What Drives Us, and I like how it gives shout-outs to various PriusChat members for their contributions.

    I definitely hope to have guests on in the near future, and the goal is to keep each episode under an hour.

    Thanks for pretty much ruining my plans of getting some work done this morning. Love the dog in the background, HA!

    I was reading about this endeavour and looking at the Prius Chat Show graphic. Is it just me ( and it easily could be ) but does the "button" over the ghost "button" make it look like I'm being given the middle finger? I feel like I've been flipped the Hybrid Bird.

    I thought I'd give this a listen while I'm sitting here working. Sounds good so far. Zuli perked up for a second when Indy barked, but went back to sleep. One small critique - I'm not entirely sure how to pronounce everybody's name either, but you could always ask. I thought 'ee-oyn' was simply 'Ian', but maybe not.

    Hey Danny, thanks for this, I'm really enjoying it.

    At the beginning, what do you think about cutting down that entire minute plus of introduction? Of course we can just fast forward, it's no big deal, though the music did make me think I accidentally downloaded the soundtrack to a 90's porn film. :D

    Great first show. Thanks for the shout out!

    It's like PriusChat at-a-glance. Well, 4 topics but still, hopefully it'll get people intrigued and get them to participate in the forums.

    I'm looking forward to future episodes. It was interesting to see a thread broken down like the way you guys did. it's also cool to recognize the contributions made by PC members. Sometimes I don't immediately recognize the value of a particular thread until sometime in the future when I am ready for that information. I appreciate the efforts of our PC members and even the noobs for brining a topic to light.

    What's better than a discussion about discussions.

    Oh, and can we have a place to grab these, like the What Drives Us site, rather than subscribing?
    Not all of us are subscribing types...
