NOTE: Jim is on this episode via Skype because this was recorded after the hard drive crash.  We experimented with his headset mic this time for the first part and switched to the phone. We were deliberately checking the quality differences in sound to see which works best when we have to do this in the future. In the past we have only used his phone. If there are any sound quality differences from normal, this is why. We’re playing around to determine the best sound experience when we aren’t recording in studio. Thanks for your patience.
