What’s wrong with the audio on all your podcasts? It can’t be the sources, it’s the same pops and clicks on them all???
[COMMENT by Lorenzo: Yeah, I know. I’ve got to buy a new recorder to digitize them, I guess.]
[2017-05-03 COMMENT by Lorenzo: So I bought a new cassette to digital converter, and just now I digitized the recording for 539 coming up. Sadly, it came out with the same pops and clicks. So either these two machines are total pieces of crap, which is definitely possible, or the microphone used for this series of recordings had a problem of some kind. All of these tapes came from the same batch beginning with podcast 534.]
OK thanks for trying, Lorenzo! : ]
I think he became so rationalist, that he lost it
I also think he was a chicken
the only one—who–walked-away
LZ, I think the best time to release the new episodes is when they’re done. Play is work and work is play. Read that chapter, write that email, phone that friend. It’ll get done when it gets done, F-rd willing. 🙂
I know and love Larry’s voice. Lorenzo, I am an old fan, an old friend. Your stuff was hard to find, some of it deadended.
