Please bear with us as we continue to work through some bugs, which include streamlining our equipment for better sound quality. The beauty of travel is that you can be anywhere on any given day, but the down side when you have a podcast is that every little thing (the shape and size of the room, how high the ceilings are, dogs barking and birds chirping, using a Zoom microphone vs. AirPods vs. actual professional mics and headphones) makes a difference.
