2QU!

First off, I am done with that horrible polar vorTEX and I'm not going to talk about it any further, because of the nightmare that Tony and I had to endure for 11 days going without any running water. Seriously, it nearly did me in mentally. And if you don't believe me—just ask Tone.

But to help fight off my depression during those cold, stressful days and nights I put almost all of my energy into learning more about podcasting. And after all of those hours I spent on research I went on several Amazon shopping sprees. 

You know that old saying that goes something like this, "...Two is nice. Three is a crowd, etc." well, you might say I went a little overboard purchasing some of my podcasting equipment. 

Okay, I admit that podcasting can be as simple as using an app and a cell phone and there is nothing wrong with doing this.

But, because I plan to do a lot of interviews with friends, professionals, musicians, etc. and will also be doing outdoor podcasting with complete strangers, I realized I needed to have at least two microphones and sets of headphones for each person I interview. 

I also discovered that I needed a voice interface to plug into the mics before plugging them into my GarageBand software, for editing. And so not to get too technical here—I bought Buzzsprout's top rated, highly recommended podcasting equipment that would insure quality sound. 

FYI: Buzzsprout is considered to be one of the top, most popular podcasting hosts and after watching their videos where they rated all kinds of different podcasting equipment in all kinds of price ranges, I took their advice and purchased the equipment, in my price range, that they had reviewed and highly recommended.

Anyway, over the last couple of weeks my podcasting equipment has slowly been arriving piece-by-piece and with each delivery of equipment it has put a big smile on my face.

Up until today I have received the small, but powerful, red Scarlett 2i2 Interface, two Sony headphone sets, all kinds of different cables and jacks, etc.

Well, today the highly rated, 5★★★★★s— 2QU RECORDING AND PODCASTING PACK USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone with Accessories arrived!! And as you can see below— I purchased four of them. Yes—four microphones, because the way I think: "If three is a crowd—Four is a party!

On the far-left of the picture below is my black Blue Yeti that I purchased a while back when I decided I wanted to do podcasting and if I have more than four guests on the show, I will use it even though it is not a dynamic microphone.

And as I finish writing this post Tony just put another log on the fire for me, as Henry Standing Bear watches him, from my chair.

Y'all have a great evening and keep on laughing!
