Episode 243 struck by lightning

They say that lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place. Well, it does.

Today’s show #243 should have been up by now, but it’s not. In fact, it won’t be until tomorrow.

The recording gremlins had a field day today, brilliantly assisted by me through not paying attention to which button I’m clicking on during recording of the show over Skype with guest co-host Sallie Goetsch.

End result - no recording at my end. Luckily, we have Sallie’s capture.

Keen listeners might note a disturbing similarity to the result that happened the last time Sallie and I recorded FIR together.

Well, yes, although it’s different lightning.

Anyway, my apologies for the delay; the show will be up within 24 hours.

  1. Good thing Sallie is the backupmeister, eh! :-)

  2. I think that should be “backupmeisterin.” Your German is better than mine—what’s the proper feminine of “Meister”?

    Anyway, I think these problems mean we’re just supposed to keep doing podcasts until we get it right.

  3. I’ll get it right the third time Sallie and I do the show…

    Hoping to get this episode posted later today.

  4. Fear not. Less than two weeks before I arrive in the UK and we can get your mixer working so you can record to an external device, and you’ll never have problems again!

  5. Hmmmm.  And we’re supposed to buy a book about how to do podcasts from you? :)

  6. Having an external device doesn’t help if you forget to press “record.” I should know—I’ve done it.

  7. Chip, you’ll be very glad to know that all the bits about how to record your podcast were written by Shel, not me!

    Reassurance for when you buy the book :)

    And btw, finalizing 243 as I type these words. Should be up in a couple of hours. (Heh! Been reading the book proofs on audio editing…)
