Episode #2

Episode #2 – Long Distance Thunderstorm

For this episode we were working with what will be our normal set up – recording over Skype since we live a few hours apart. There was a storm involved and Sarah was certain it would sound like we were talking in 2 tin cans while being electrocuted. Happily, aside from the bits Katie edited out, this is a civilized episode with reasonable audio quality. :-)
