andymoosemanClown would have been equally appropriate :)
Like you say, as i'm used to a studio environment, that must make a difference.
I tend to forget that Claire has an international reputation. She lives near me & until very recently lived, literally, around the corner from me. She's very nice & a real supporter of local music & she's actually putting on her own gig in aid of the pier in December. I'll be there selling the CDs.
kenrgDid you say the politician has "more clout" or is "more of a clown"? Comes out the same, in the end, I suppose...
I agree that in-person is better for interviews. But, like you, it's because I'm comfortable with the equipment. I suppose some people are a little freaked out when they first see microphones and cameras and mixers and things and would prefer the phone, but I want to see the other guy's eyes.
Looking forward to the international link going up to buy the CD - I still can't believe you got Claire Hammill!
andymooseman@anakin1814 I know what you mean. The audio really adds something doesn't it? That's wny i like doing my Boo's outdoors, if i can.
anakin1814The beauty of these podcasts is that the audio adds an element to it that we take for granted when we see it on video. I, for one, am happy to see the season change to fall. Autumn here in Wisconsin can be quite glorious — the trees are almost at their peak. Quite beautiful. :)
andymooseman@kenrg I totally agree with you. In some ways, this is the best time of the summer. Partly because it's quieter, especially on a weekday. You can have the beach almost to yourself.
