In his blog with this podcast, Mr. Carvin wrote:

"I've just posted a new podcast called Overcoming Wikipedia's Growing Pains. The podcast was inspired by a Wired News article talking about the challenges faced by the online encyclopedia Wikipedia as it tries to become more broadly accepted both by experts and the public."
