Episode 1: Jimmy Castrillo

What I had originally planned to be about a 10-minute interview turned into over a half-hour of raw footage. Yes, even this "full" version is somewhat condensed, as I spared you all the typical "hi's and hello's" that generally start typical conversation (though, now that I think about it, it would be humorous if I skipped that part entirely and just started asking questions...maybe I'll go that route in the future).

Jim was a great first choice to interview. I wrote a few notes before calling him in attempt to steer things a little but the entire thing basically just turned into a casual conversation. He was hitting a lot of the stuff I was hoping to know all on his own--there was no need to prompt--and as you'll find or perhaps already have, his answers were in-depth and honest.

While the site won't open until the 1st of July (basically a week from now) I've decided to go ahead and make this connecting page (Cellular Talk Shows) public for two reasons:

First, because I'd like to give you an idea of the format for these interviews and second because within the next few days I'm going to post a short list of our upcoming interviewees so that you can post questions you'd like us to ask the future guests. When I blog the list, just leave questions in the comment box following the post and make sure to let us know who the question is directed to (maybe you'd like to direct it to all of them). Be creative. I'm not naive enough to think that I'm going to ask these guys everything you'd like to know, so help me out. Again, I promise to ask every proposed question as long as it's not out of line.

Thanks again to Jim for being the first ever OAC Distance.com Cellular Talk Show.

PS: I'll try not to breath into the mic so loudly next time. That was kind of embarassing. Bare with me.

PPS: If anyone has any ideas on how we might be able to improve the quality of the interviews (especially the sound quality) or would like to see us try something different in terms of the look of the interviews, etc., by all means let us know.

After all, this is our site.
