Episode 9

Goodness, the technical difficulties were flying this episode! We had 9 recordings. (9!!!) So, as a result, some of it may seem a bit non-linear. I didn’t leave in all of the conversations in between, just a couple that were particularly amusing for one reason or another before we started again. My co-host this week was Ashayo! Goodness, I had so much fun recording with him, despite the internet difficulties, and he was very patient with my crazy connection problems. We worked through them all, disconnected and reconnected repeatedly, and had to double check that the program was recording so many times that it nearly made my head spin, but it was all worth it. I think each episode just keeps getting easier and easier for me to record and edit. (Which is good for you, the listener, because it means I get things out more often. Yay!) Upcoming is a bit of a vacation for me - I’ll be away from the household for two weekends, and since my recording software is on my desktop, it’s unlikely I’ll be able to record during my absence. As such, it’ll be a bit before we have another recording of OMGNAP, but hopefully we can get that arranged soon for the 10th episode. I also highly intend to have the intro (and maybe even an outtro?) ready by that point, so it is not quite so abrupt a beginning and ending. I hope you enjoy!
