Dude. Seriously. "Amperstand" is not a word. It's AMPERSAND. I used to work with a guy who said "amperstand" and it drove me insane.
Other than that, good podcast!

To Stevie K: Thanks for the correction!
To Anonymous: Studies show that ">" and ":" are more effective.
I forget to mention a method of creating page titles in the podcast, which is making them "in reverse". Instead of "Site Name > Section > Page Title", make it "Page Title > Section > Site Name". The SEO reason for this is that the most relevant words should be first. The usability reason is that the page content is most likely more about the Page Title, not the Site Name.
