A full new episode of the Maccast is on the way, but I wanted to get out a quick show summarizing what Steve Jobs talked about in the keynote this morning. Lots of good stuff in here including, games on the Mac, highlights on 10 out of the 300 new fetaures in Leopard, a BIG (Vista-sized actually) announcement for Safari, and news on developing iPhone apps. Fun stuff.

First I talk with Craig Syverson, from Gruntmedia and we the new updates to Apple’s FinalCut Studio 2 product.

Then I sit down and have a conversation with the Maccast’s own Pro adds guru, James Alguire (Inkdrop Media). James writes the “Stuff, Guts, and Video” articles here on Maccast.com and I ask him what new FinalCut features make it worth the upgrade cost. James and I discuss Adobe’s return to video editing on the Mac and both Adobe’s and Microsoft’s new web video and multimedia applications. In addition, I also get James take on some of the products and highlights from this years NAB show.

All I can say is WOW! I really thought that no one really used the enhanced features of the Maccast. Boy was I wrong. Within about 2 hours of posting the last show I had over 100 emails in support of keeping chapters. Thanks to all who sent comments about how they love, use, and depend on the enhanced Maccast. Needless to say the eMaccast is hear to stay. You can stop emailing now.

It does leave me wondering one thing though… with this kind of an endorsement, why don’t more podcasters do enhanced podcasts?
