Studio Renovation and Cricket Infestation
For the past four months, the podcast studio has been under renovation, and as a result, the host has been recording in a makeshift studio off the side of their garage. Initially, this setup worked well, but two weeks ago, an unexpected problem arose: a massive infestation of crickets. The host and their team started noticing the constant chirping sound that the crickets made, which was being picked up by the sensitive studio microphone. Despite attempts to scare the crickets away, they persisted, making it challenging to record without the background noise. The host and their team found humor in the situation, even creating secret clips of the host's reactions to the crickets. This unexpected issue has posed difficulties in recording, but the host remains hopeful that with the arrival of fall, the crickets will finally leave.
