Young love, why you should never be the DJ at your own wedding and that time Jennie almost got arrested. So many bad decisions!

Show Notes:

Form: The 3fer: Three people, three stories, one theme and let’s see if they connect.

Theme: I really put my foot in it (also known as I really stepped in it, because I really put my foot in it is NOT SOMETHING PEOPLE SAY.)

The music:

More great music this week from The Free Music Archive including “Oops i did it again (Britney Spears cover)” by Bacalao

“Policeman” by The Yummy Fur

and a really lovely song called “Young Girls” by Novi Split. (make sure to read here about how he got that name!)

Our opening and closing music is a selection from “Unlocked Door” used by permission of Alex Cook. Thank you Alex!

Behind the story: Oh my. I loved all three stories on this one, but technically this episode was technically tough! Skype shows often have something or another wrong with them, usually related to “ducking” or the guest audio. I use Skype Call Recorder to tape those shows. If you, um, “ear-ball” levels ahead of time, the guest audio usually sounds fine enough.

This time though I thought I would be smart and tape my microphone audio on a separate app, so that I could take advantage of my great Heil PR-40. Except I didn’t check the levels of my mic in Audio Hijack where I was recording. And so, as you can probably tell, my mic is horribly overmodulated. I would have used my record from Call Recorder but it had some fatal reoccurring crackle.

So, two lessons here: 1) Get an engineer. Stat. 2) So far, not a single person has written to complain about it. Which means, in the end, the story is the only thing that matters. : )
