Avinash I think you did a great job sparring with Simon – I have to agree that he is rather persistent.

I am glad to hear that Google is doing more to evangelize and teach its community of users.

Very informative podcast Avinash. It was very motivating to listen to, and it made me realize how much more I have to learn about web analytics. The good thing is that unlike others you also put in the required effort to teach via your blog. Thanks.

"Um's and Ah's"

Heh. Can appreciate the pain. When I was a wee lad, as opposed to the much older lad I am today, my parents sent me to Speech and Drama lessons. How to talk proper like.
Having a classroom of 10-12 yo boys all counting each and every Um and Ah is a scarily effective way of using peer pressure to stop bad habits up front. :-)

I guess the trick with podcasts vs presenting is that one has the backdrop of the formal which gets you thinking and behaving a certain way; vs the podcast which is more informal and chatty.
I suspect I'd do far worse. :-)

If you like, I can do a time sequence graph for you displaying the number of Um's and Ah's from the podcast?
It looks like it's finished downloading, so now to listen. Just not sure I'll understand an Aussie accent though….
