I could be pissed.
I should definitely be dropping a few f-bombs.
I would usually be very stressed out.
Instead I’m just bummed as hell.
After two nights of begging, pleading, trying new things, Googling fixes, and beating our heads against a wall (okay, John Brownstone did all of that), we’ve had to concede that our brand new, high-quality, snazzy microphone for the podcast isn’t working.
We’re sending it back for a full refund – we beat the deadline by just a few days(!!) – but can’t get a new one until Amazon gives us our money back. Will we get the same one? I don’t know. The reviews on it were excellent, and this could have been the random dud you get with technology. I’m leaving that in my IT department’s hands (and what nice hands they are. Mmmmm, strong and firm…and what were were talking about? Oh yeah!).
We even considered recording it on an old laptop but we couldn’t force ourselves back into the closet – after experiencing the taste of freedom, can you blame us? – and I refused to record a shitty-sounding episode. No matter how bummed I am about missing a week.
Yes, we’re sad. Yes, we’ll miss our listeners. But don’t worry, we’ll back as soon as we get the new mic!
If you didn’t even know I have a podcast, no worries – you can check out all 39 previous episodes:
I am going to miss the Podcast 🙁
It looks like our new mic should be in before the end of the week. Not sure if it’ll be in time for next Friday or not, but it’s on the way!! 🙂
Aww I was bummed to hear there isn’t a podcast this week. Appreciate you all not wanting to give a half- a@$ one either just for the sake of putting one out. Hope new mic comes quickly. Your listeners will be waiting on pins and needles 😉 hugs
Thanks! We just got notification that it should be in by Tuesday. Fingers crossed that the set up goes well and that we’re back on this week! 🙂
Awesome 🙂
