Hey all,

The six segments from this weeks LTT show are up on this site. Keep in mind that this is something that is still in the experimental phase. When the newer version of the LTT website gets firmly established, I will simply provide links to the website where a podcast for LTT should be hosted. If you are a LTT listener and you like having the show delivered as a podcast please subscribe to this feed so we can use the subscription numbers to help justify  the additional cost of putting together a dedicated podcast feed for LTT.

Like last week, just scroll down to download this weeks show segments and if you have comments please send them to: ltt@letstalktrains.us or suggestions@letstalktrains.us

Now for more personal news. I am traveling to Phoenix this week in an effort to hunt for apartments (studios or 1 bedroooms) and talk to a few of my professors about  the dynamics involved  in finishing  the program. If you are in the Phoenix area and know me on a personal level please give me a call.

In still other news, I have been playing FSX in preparation for the review. Don't expect it for a few weeks. The production pipeline for prerecorded podcasts may end up changing due to the complexity of that goal.

Thats if for now,
Nicolas

I must be in the mood for setting records because I have yet another podcast for you. During this show I start of by taking care of some house cleaning. I then move on to a much touted topic Sim Game Design. I talk about the systemic and the mimetic sims and what can be done to improve these sims based on basic game design theory (game world, player motivation and context) and how these lessons can be applied to game design as a whole.

For my next prerecorded podcast I pan on doing a detailed review of FSX!

In the meantime, you may send me comments or questions by emailing me nicnacjak@gmail.com.

And don't forget that this weeks episode of Let's Talk Trains is available on this feed. Just scroll down an entry or three.

Until next time,
Nicolas

P.S. Does anyone know of free MP3 encoding software? Sound Forge is whining about letting me encode in mp3 for free. Silly Sony.

In my continuing effort to gain more experience in broadcasting, I have started a live streaming radio show called NicolasJackson.com Radio at  BlogTalkRadio.com. The show page, which is still being put together is located at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/nicolasjackson.

This show is to be an extension of my podcast and website with two important differences. A: The show is live and unedited. So what is said during recording is what ends up in the final file. B: This show will be designed around the idea that people will interact during the live show. This may come to include prescheduled guests and any one who wants to call the toll number (646) 716-7136 during the live show.

I still plan on releasing regular podcasts as often as I can. As of right now, NicolasJackson.com Radio is still in its infancy and is in need of a regular broadcast time and show format. I would also like to see if I can get a co-host and a fairly established rotation of guests to join me.

No matter what the future may hold for NicolasJckson.com, my podcast or NicolasJackson.com Radio you can always expect to find updates and information right here at www.nicolasjackson.com

As always, you are welcome to email me with comments and suggestions. nicnacjak@gmail.com

Ok folks as promised here is the lastest Podcast. It took four hours to put together so you really can't fault me for takeing an 8 month break. In it I explain what I've been up to and try to get the LTT audience to give me an idea of what they think of the podcasting medioum.

If you have comments for me you can send them to nicnacjak@gmail.com
