The vast majority of podcasts out there are in the mp3 format (I will qualify this for RPG podcasts since I have no data on ALL podcasts). I'm curious why the m4a format was chosen. I'm not an expert on the different audio formats, but from what I can see, the only difference is that m4a is more DRM friendly. I listened to the mp3 version and then to parts of the m4a...I heard no difference in the audio quality even though the m4a was a larger file...though not by a real significant amount.  But don't mind me...I'm one of those nutds running Linux.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> I certainly agree on applauding WOTC for getting into the podcast pool. It could be a great tool of communication for them. Especially for us older gamers. I mean, how easy is it to spend an hour reading the WOTC site at work? Not as easy as putting on the head phones and listening to the 'cast!Regardless of  my problem with the format and the ease of downloading mp3's, its a good start to a new podcast. Mike and company should be commended and I look forward to more episodes.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
