				<p>This week&#8217;s episode features an interview with Dan Benjamin of the Internet broadcasting network <a href="http://5by5.tv/">5by5</a>. This relatively new network features shows that involve not only Dan himself, but other well known &#8220;Internetians&#8221; such as John Gruber (Daring Fireball), Marco Arment (Instapaper), Jeffrey Zeldman (A List Apart) and Merlin Mann (43 Folders).<br />
<span id="more-12018"></span><br />
WorkAwesome editor Mike Vardy had the rare opportunity to put Dan on the &#8220;interviewee&#8221; side of things to find out about his own workflow and habits, what tools he uses to stay &#8212; and increase &#8212; his productivity and what triggered him to forge out on his own and start 5by5.</p>
<p>Enjoy the podcast!</p>

		<p>Thanks again for another great show, but did anybody else have issues with volume levels? I subscribe through iTunes and at certain points during the show the volume would double, and then fade back down again.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a big fan of 5by5 so was pleased to hear Dan make an appearance here.</p>

		<p>Why no links to the products?  Also, why the huge range in volume?  A couple times Dan&#8217;s voice just about blew out my speakers.</p>
