It was off-the-cuff, conversational, and conducted without any sort of forethought while I inched along in an interstate backup. And my goodness does it contain an extraordinary nunber of uhs and ums! Sorry folks, I’ll get better at that.

I used micro.blog’s Wavelength companion app, which makes it super easy to record simple audio posts like this one. I’ve long considered recording short audio updates like this, which you can subscribe to in your preferred podcast app. So now that I know how easy it is to record and post one, I hope to do it more regularly. And hopefully with fewer filler words…

Anyway, you can listen using the player below:

Well, I finally gave the latter a (very quick) initial shot. I’m out of town this week, and still need to find a suitable podcast recording app (send me suggestions!), but was able to record a single audio take on my last blog post, entitled I hate telling friends how I’m doing. I hooked up the mic for the first time, opened a voice recorder app, hit the record button and started reading. I didn’t practice reading it aloud first (oh man, I haven’t done this in ages). Had I not been under time pressure, I would have made it better. But after seeing the mic sitting there for too long, I decided I had to post something before I left the house, no matter what it was like.

Anyway, it should be accessible via an audio player here on this post. If it’s not, I’ll have to deal with that later, as I’m off for some sightseeing. I’m still deciding how this should all work, whether it should remain here at rsjon.es, or if I should put it alongside my main blog at rscottjones.com. More info soon.
