Guys, the podcasting has not gone well this year.

As anyone who heard my last session can attest, I’m having audio problems with my recording set-up.  I don’t know what the hell that whirring sound was, the only thing I can think of was that it might have picked up the fan on my laptop (??!!) somehow, someway.   SciFi.com spotted the problem and did everything they could to minimize it, but ultimately the recording was nearly incomprehensible.  In the spirit of wanting to get something out there, we decided to post it anyway.

Last week, I took extra care to check my levels on the mic, position the laptop far away and kept the DVD audio down to a low murmur.  All sounded well on my level test, but after I’d completed the podcast for “The Hub,” I found, to my horror (and fury) that it still recorded the sound of the DVD too loud and my own voice -- my lips but inches from the mic -- was too buried to be audible.

So it’s been frakked.

Anyway, I’m going into a recording studio tomorrow, along with some of the writers and editors, and going to record the remaining podcasts in a marathon session so they’ll be available once more after the cliffhanger airs.

Sorry, folks.
