In a lot of QA sessions that I have experienced the idea is to not look to find fault with a person, instead look at the process and what the person was trying to accomplish. If there is slacking, then the process is failing, not the person. This can help make it easier with all involved. Just my 2 cents. Justin makes a good point.

Make sure there are clear boundaries set, so the working relationship and the friendship don't become entangled. That way, if one person starts slacking on the work end, it can be dealt with in a way that won't disrupt the friend end.

I'd like to know more about the New Media School, and since I follow you around on Twitter, I'm sure I'll be hearing more about it.

For me, I'll be quick to work with someone I've gotten to know online. It's like online nepotism. I'll hire friends before strangers. Makes sense.

I am sincerely flattered! And I think it is all about friendsourcing. We get to the point where there is so much to do, and time is becoming our most valuable resource. So learning (and trusting) to be able to outsource to friends becomes a necessity and a strategy to keep sane. I took a lesson from some other podcasters and I am going to have an intern this summer to help me with the "I really should's" like filing and dealing with show archives, that I never seem to get to. This teenager will learn a bit about podcasting, web site management, and other things she wouldn't learn in school, and I get the free help I need for a few weeks this summer. I can't wait!
