General Purpose Podcast #98: Countdown to the Solstice (-1 Days to Go) MONO

General Purpose Podcast #101: 25 Years of Changing the World

I made this recording with my Olympus LS-10. The quality is not terrific since the gathering was in an outdoor tent, the recorder was simply sitting on the table where the panelists were seated, and some of speakers from the audience did not use the microphones, but it does have a "you are there" quality that you might enjoy, especially if you listen on headphones. The bagpipe clips at the beginning are from an early-morning warm-up outside of Lowry Center, and the start of the reunion parade of classes.

General Purpose Podcast #100: Gift Cycle

Gift Cyclist Ried Stewart Waring Meyer visited us here in Saginaw, Michigan and we took a few minutes to interview him about the project. We were not able to record this in the studio, so the audio quality is not quite as good as I would have liked, but I hope you will enjoy the discussion anyway.

General Purpose Podcast #99: A Conversation with Rich Wielgosz

Fair warning - this one is quite long (almost two hours). Also, the audio from Rich's side came from his laptop microphone so it doesn't sound great.

General Purpose Podcast #98: Countdown to the Solstice (-1 Days to Go) MONO

After some casting about for topics we talk about a few books including Haruki Murakami's _1Q84_, Terry Pratchett's _Snuff_, and Barry Hughart's _The Chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox_. Technical note: I'm having some trouble with my audio recorder. In the previous recording, there was distortion on both channels. On this recording, it seems to be limited to the right channel, so I was able to work around it by making this a mono recording, taken from just the left channel.

General Purpose Podcast #97: Countdown to the Solstice (No Days to Go)

The shortest day is here! Technical note: I'm having some trouble with my audio recorder, which just started with today's recording. There is some distortion happening. My apologies; it was a complete surprise, and I haven't yet been able to figure out what is wrong or what it might take to get it repaired.
