I have enjoyed all the MACPA podcasts, both for the relevant content, the incisive presentation and the spot-on questioning of Bill Sheridan. The podcasts complement the MACPA blogs by providing excellent brief commentary on developments in the profession, in a very absorbable format.
On this occasion I listened to Bill's interview with Judy O'Dell, who is chairing the FASB committee on financial reporting standards for private companies. This would have been a good "trailer" for the Nov. 30 town hall meeting in Salisbury, which I was unable to attend. It was valuable to hear directly from the chair's mouth about the rationale for the committee, some of the challenges it faces, and the judicious decision to delay the process. I appreciated the inside look into something I had heard about but had only vague notions about.
I wonder if there is a way to have a visual component for the podcast. I do not mean a video but rather a photo of the speaker, in this case Judy O'Dell; or perhaps some background text--a bio of the speaker, bullet points about the topic, or somesuch. I know most people won't be looking at the screen while listening, but I feel that instead of a moving ball the kinds of things I mentioned might add another dimension to the experience. Just a thought.
These podcasts are just one more way MACPA is going to extra lengths to inform members. I hope the number of listeners will grown exponentially.
