Perhaps you could Skype in and chat about your experience so far, if it's convenient for you?

Gee, I dunno. Couldn’t this have pretty serious repercussions if anyone back home found out?" Good point. Yes, this is a sensitive area for Muslims from Saudi Arabia, and similar. Last year, however, when one group of students was making and editing a video with iMovie, and filmed a "pyjama party", a Saudi at the party admitted to being intoxicated. Afterwards, when I queried the use of this part of the footage, he said it was not a problem, and although we gave him the option of vetoing that part of the video, he declined. So, I guess that has led me to be somewhat less strict with my protection of Middle Eastern Muslims over here. But I didn't check with the person in question in this case, and that's wrong. I'll have to check with him tomorrow, when we record the next show, and give him the option of an edited version. Marco Polo Says: (February 2nd, 2006 at 1:45 pm)

Couldn't this have pretty serious repercussions if anyone back home found out? This is one of my concerns about podcasting, especially the decisions about making the whole thing completely public, and/or whether to allow students to use their real names. when she got a Saudi Arabian to admit he’d been drinking alcohol!
