Frustration with Recording Program, Book Recommendation, and Podcast/Vide Series
Today's episode starts with Pilar complaining about the fact that Audacity doesn't remember the fact that she always records with her external microphone... Such is the life of the daily podcaster!
Recommended podcasts: The Enthusiasm Project Mayam Bialik's Breakdown, and Pilar mentions the episode with Justine Bateman (from Family Ties) published in October 2023.
