003: Finding the Groove
Listen to the podcast (45.26 MB – 1:19:05)
Back from the wilds of Tennessee and flying without a script this time around. Yup, the flubs are there to be sure, but Bready is back and Christian joins in with a selection. This is my escape; this is entertaining and fun to do. Hopefully that’s coming through in the recording. Hopefully it’s just as much fun to listen to. Of course, you all have to tell me that part.
Note: Upon listening to this beast, I’ve realized that I’m not dropping the music levels at some points enough to actaully be heard. Something to work on. Has it been this bad throughout all of the episodes? This DJ-ing thing is harder than it may seem….
