General
Do you have a suggestion for Boagworld? Something you would like us to cover on the show? Perhaps something you would like to change on the website? Whatever your suggestion we want to hear it.

Discuss CMS platforms more
One week interview Jeff Robbins of Lullabot.com and discuss why people are using Drupal.
Another week discuss WordPress with whomever you desire.
Another week for Joomla!
Another week you could grab some lesser known CMS and find an expert in it.I am a LONG time listener and I wish I would have heard long ago what people are doing with the many CMSs out there. Now that I know... I'm making money!

I think the best starting point on this would be to find somebody who can give us a run down of the main players. Ill add it to the list.

Discuss Workflow and Methods
I know xhtml, and css, I can build what I need in Photoshop, Gimp, and or Inkscape, I manage my shared servers, install blogs, photo galleries, and forums, but putting it all together is my biggest barrier to productivity. Knowing what to do when. I'd like to know how the process starts all the way through the end in a logical progression. Or not so logical as the case may be. I just feel like I'm spinning my wheels, and worse, forgetting something important.

Discuss JavaScript Libraries
With the huge variety of libraries out there (JQuery, Mootools, DoJo, YUI, etc etc) how do you choose which one to use? Do you standardise on just one library? What about if you want to use LightBox (Scriptaculous/Prototype) and JD Smooth Gallery (Mootools) on the same web site, for example?

Great idea. We should interview John Resig (the creator of jquery) about this. He did an excellent talk on this at @media

do a Q&A episode
Maybe a Rissington podcast style Q&A episode? Will probably have to be not 100% serious if you want to fill 45 mins. Also If the person asking the question is watching the video feed, they can always ask it via the co-host feature on there.
The Rissington gents have been mocking you for not doing this. Honestly, they have...

have more competitions
The current competitions have been a good idea. Everyone likes winning stuff and with your connections you could get some good swag to give away!

Accessibility
A bit more detail on accessibility, e.g. who should we cater for apart from the obvious blind users, etc. Best practices, minimum requirements, etc

This is a difficult one as I can only look at some many myself. I have asked people to send in reviews but so far the pickings have been slim. Send me more and I will include them!

Talk more about HTML 5 and the future of XHTML
There's a lot of talk of promises for HTML 5 and it's a little confusing. Does HTML 5 replace XHTML? Is HTML 5 still XML compatible? What will it do for layout?

discuss version control systems
Used by desktop application developers as well as those working on sites and web apps, systems like CVS and Subversion are becoming more popular. Especially where you have teams and distributed networks working on the same project.
This is an area that we only discovered recently and wish we'd known about it a long time ago, as it would have saved us considerable time - and money.12 votes -
Please, stop Paul's mic being distorted/over-driven
Liking the content, but after 120 podcasts, how come the audio quality still sounds a bit duff? Marcus' microphone seems to sound ok, but Paul's sounds distorted and a bit crap. There's obviously quite a bit of care and post production that goes into the podcast, but it's undone a bit by the bad voice track.

Shorten the Intro music
Over a minute for intro music is waaaayyyyy too long - a 10-15 second signature would be plenty in my view and would save me from having to skip along my itunes looking for the 'actual' start of the show.

Discuss Flash as a future accessible platform
At the moment Flash is great for experience sites, brochure ware etc. But with a move to open source will we see a move to accessible/ searchable e-commerce sites and how will Flash's alter the user experience for traditional 'standards' sites

Discuss Elastic versus Fixed width layouts
Sorry if this has been covered before! Discuss the issues surrounding Elastic versus Fixed width layouts.
This would involve issues such as EMs based layouts, the way browsers such as Opera, IE7 & Firefox 3 zoom the whole page rather than scale text and how this affects Elastic / Fixed width sites etc etc.
