Today, me and Anand met for the very first time in podcast history. Nearby, a chorus of whales burst forth from around us, singing hymns so decadent the sky wept. Diamonds fell from the sky, like expensive hail. Somewhere, a man with a guitar strummed a lone chord. Perhaps it was an A minor. Or just maybe it was a B flat.
Oh, and there was a whole lot of echo.
Those of you who’ve been following the ‘cast know that me and Anand have been doing this here project completely over the inter-tubes, packing our melodic voices into small little packets, and shooting them between us with the power of modern technology. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t. Either way, it seems fitting that, for our tenth episode, we finally do one in person. And just like our humble beginnings, this too posed problems.
There was a whole lot of echo.
Despite being in the same room, we still used two mics. While this wouldn’t normally cause a problem, some funky discrepancies within audacity meant that things didn’t quite sync up. But just barely! Things are still listenable, for the most part, but we’ll understand if you don’t want to hear us repeat everything twice – albeit, with a very minuscule delay. And in our opinion, that just makes the podcast all the more interesting; you get to hear us discuss the Wii, the Zune, and pigeons.
Yes. Pigeons.
