I think you need a Trollbie in your pocket. *titter*

Excellent information! Thanks for putting so much time and effort into your first podcast!

Awesome!

You are really cute!

Thanks, that was interesting and informative (and the sections were nice *in case* one was needed elsewhere briefly while trying to listen)!

Thank you so much for implementing the podcast! It was excellent listening :)

Very interesting, thanks for doing this!

WOW! I only listened to about half of it and had to stop for band practice, but I have to check in and say:

Wow, what a totally cool person this Rob guy is!

I'm excited about many of the things he hinted at. Etsy is such a cool thing.

Thank you!

Great info Thank you!

Thanks for all the great info. You guys are doing a fabulous job!!!

This is great info. I love how you have the option to hear it all at once or in smaller bites. Good stuff!

Rob Rox!

Thanks for this--I hope it really does become a weekly feature.

Aside from the fact that you are really cute (which I already mentioned) You have a nice voice!

More importantly, thanks for taking the time to answer these questions in such a nice way!

Look at you with the dapper hair cut!

well done podcast. thank you, rob.

I do have another question: What kinds of things on Etsy make you cringe?
typo's? bad photos? the mis-use of doilies?

Thank you, I enjoyed hearing a real person with real answers, and look forward to the next one. Good to know what is being worked on also.

Rob, You are an amazing person,... the love and care you are putting into Etsy shines through brightly, while I sit here listening! Even my husband stopped what he was doing, to come and listen! (That takes a Very Special Person!)

Thanks for taking the time to do this "Ironing Board Session"... You bring the human element of Etsy to the forefront with your energy, and love for your work! Thank you!

Awesome! I'm very excited to hear that alchemy's finally on the way. :D

rob, thank you for taking the time to connect with your community.....hearing your voice personally answer some "many asked" questions brings a human touch to this site. you obviously pour your heart and soul into etsy, and it shows. i'm looking forward to a weekly "ironing board session", as it's important to us to know what's in store!

thanks so much for doing this! it's very much appreciated!

: )

Rob you are so well rounded and passionate about this place. I couldn't help but be inspired. Thank you for taking the time to do this. :)

You are a genius in my humble opinion! Until now rather a "mystery man", now we know the face and voice behind Etsy, you look so young, your Mother must be very proud of you! Thanks, answered a lot of questions too!

Rob...thanks for all the info. Great work! Full steam ahead...last holiday season was a bit of a trial but hopefully this year all systems are go! Been here for almost 2 years and it has been a wonderful marketplace for me. My two suggestions are to :
1) to have another collaborative competition...like your first one was...what fun to create in teams with etsiers from all over the world.
2) Have a bulletin board type feature in Storque where we can post announcements of exhibitions that our work is included in so local folks could go and see our actual creations which ultimately could lead to more etsy sales.

Thanks for answering my question! How cool to know how the company started!

Great beginning for the podcasts! I love etsy and can't believe the gorgeous things I have found! It's like a free museum that's available any time you want to look at beautiful, fascinating things. I have made many purchases and all the craftspeople have been so helpful and totally honest. I am just a huge fan!

Looking forward to more podcasts - Great job on this first bit! And I have to say, Andy & I feel a kinship with the engineering team - That's way more like our work schedule too :)
Cheers!

Wow, Rob, an extremely well thought out and open dialogue. Thanks for sharing! We definitely look forward to more podcasts!

Sue...

This was really great, Rob. Listening was time well spent.

Hi Rob,
great that you are doing a podcast--I would love to be able to listen to it on my ipod--is there a way to download it? Or maybe in the future?

xo

Great Job!! I'm very excited for the future of Etsy. It was so interesting to listen too. Even though I'm one seller in a whole bunch the pod cast brought it home. Thanks for making Etsy I have had a wonderful time here!

Rob is tooootally wearing my lab coat in the photo!

We are figuring out how to make these downloadable too!

That was grreat Rob! I think I love you. (dont tell my husband tho! haha!)
Seriously though, thank you and your staff for everything you do! Etsy is the greatest place on earth.

Very interesting. I cracked up at the thought of etsy on Oprah. Then maybe my friends will stop thinking I'm nutty. ;)

Can't wait to hear more!

Thanks Rob - I really enjoyed listening to you here in London while I wrapped a handmade present for a new friend I made through Etsy. I love Etsy

Ever so informative! And I must give you kudos on your calm yet enthusiastic delivery ;)

Thanks Rokali, for taking the time to answer a few of the Etsy community's questions. I have questions and comments of my own, but they are far too involved and space-intensive to post here. I've added them to this thread:
http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php...

Very eloquent and informative podcast - much appreciated Rob!

5 stars for a wonderful podcast,looking forward to more,immensly enjoyed listening to you here in scotland at 1.20am,worth staying up late for!
i love etsy and the friends i have made here (my second home)

You're a natural for the podcast. First, thanks for taking the questions from the community, second- thanks for organizing the information so well, and third- thanks for creating Etsy and continuing to nurture its growth. This communication felt genuine.

Great information for us. Thank you.

Thanks so much for all that info. I cant even think of another question right now cause im still processing all the info. Cant wait for the next one! And great to hear your voice and thoughts. :)

I really enjoyed listening to the first podcast. I think this is a great addition to the Etsy community.
Can I be on the Oprah show with you, pretty please?
Before the first podcast, someone in the forums asked if the founders had ever considered if the company might go public someday. I think it would be interesting to hear an answer to that question. In addition, I'd like to ask if, instead of going public, Etsy might someday be member owned. Just curious to hear your thoughts on this...
Thanks again,
Amanda

Thanks for all the info. I enjoyed listening.:)

Any chance of posting a written transcript of the podcast? :)
