Canada, As I See It ·

2025/11/17

Here we are – the 2nd Annual Live Broadcast.I should have known that something would happen. The show actually went off pretty well.

What actually happens is that when the show is over, I have the option to download it, and post it like a regular episode – and THAT is when I heard the audio anomaly. Fortunately, I made a local recording WHILE I was broadcasting live (that's something

It was a challenging week.I had a computer meltdown. Everything was safe, but the files looked like the proverbial frog-in-a-blender. AND, this one was the one that had the most work to do on it!
