Apologies for the audio quality through the Flash player. As noted in the show, my Mac died and I processed the file using Audacity for Windows. I’m pretty sure all my settings are correct, but it still sounds slow. Download the file, though, and it plays just fine—it’s evidently something to do with how the Flash player handles the recording. I’ll experiment to figure out where I went wrong, but don’t have the time today, I’m afraid.—Shel
