Itโ€™s the April โ€˜24 Oddcast Audio Edition

Itโ€™s mostly a recap this time.

Unfortunately the audio level is too hot throughout the majority of this one. I was trying a recording setup I havenโ€™t used together before. It was only once Iโ€™d finished that I discovered that both the mics and receiver had separate gain settings.

Enjoy(?).

The video version of this is available in a separate post.


Oh and if the thumbnail is a muppet I have no idea why this is. Sometimes it shows as me in a visor and other times it's the dad puppet and I really don't know where it got this pic from.

Thanks that was an interesting little article. Iโ€™m pretty sure theyโ€™ve discontinued MiniDisc in the last few years but as with anything like this itโ€™s difficult to find hard facts.

Unrelated, but I discovered Sony resumed production of Hi8 video cassettes in 2016, just for airlines who were still using it for their in-flight entertainment systems: https://apex.aero/articles/tapes-rolling-sony-resumes-production-hi8-cassettes/

Yes I didnโ€™t make a thumb for the audio this time as it was a last minute decision to include an audio version. Itโ€™s pulling the Dad puppet image from somewhere - but Iโ€™m not entirely sure where or why. Iโ€™ll have used it in the past, most likely as an avatar but my avatar is the visor pic at the moment.

Unbelievably unimportant I know but the Dad puppet is used for the main podcast stream whereas each episode (except the latest) has an individual thumbnail. This is on Pocket Casts, a venerable podcast player that has (I believe) only recently gained the ability to show individual episode artwork. I don't know why I'm even bothering to mention this as I nearly always watch the video version.
