What are you doing on the line, Oprah?

Oprah Winfrey joined a call I was on today. It was very exciting. You should be excited too!

I was recording a podcast today with Stephan Wilczek, discussing his upcoming workshop at Eclipse Summit Europe when my microphone cut out and Stephan was regaled with the soothing sound of Oprah and her guests (sadly, there were no short mega-actors jumping on couches). For various reasons which all make perfect sense, I was recording the Podcast via Skype on my workstation at home. The same workstation is set up to record Oprah every day for my wife (which she watches and then deletes). It happens in the background, so I tend to forget about it. Just like I did today. Anyway, we were chugging along and then 4:00pm rolled around and hilarity ensued.

The podcast should be available sometime this evening (after I edit out Oprah).

Stephan, Oprah. Oprah, Stephan.
