  • I'll specifically apologize for the muddy sound mix that came through my generic $10 PC microphone. Since I'm a novice at podcasting or even talking much over the internet, I had no idea it would do such a poor job transmitting my voice. I hope my comments add enough to make it worth straining to hear them. I'll do better next time! :o) Thanks again for having me on the show.

  • It's completely understandable. We have all had bad experiences with our technical set-up on the podcast in the past, that went beyond our control, no matter how we fiddled with settings, or wires, or connections. Your comments were clear to us, and hopefully the listeners can look past the the sound quality and focus on the content.
