David edited this episode three times but there's still some background noises and clicking sounds. As well, some of Kirsty's comments were distorted, so unfortunately they were edited out. As well, sometimes when Kirsty talks, the audio has reverb or a bit of an echo. We were unable to edit it out. These issues occurred because we recorded this episode on a different online platform. We ran a test beforehand and it was fine, so these issues caught us by surprise. Moving forward we will be sticking with Zencastr (whom we normally record with) and they have recently upgraded their system. So we hope that this upgrade will lead to improved audio quality moving forward. We do hope that these audio issues will not interfere with your enjoyment of this episode.
