Techy Note from AJ
This week we tried out a new recording tool and… long story short, it didn’t go swimmingly. Therefore I wasn’t able to eliminate as much of the cross talk as I would have liked. Hopefully, it doesn’t detract too much from the overall listening experience. Please bear with us while we’re still learning about this new podcasting gig!
