Happy Sunday, friends. Last weekend, I was recording my Sunday Soother podcast, in a semi-state of pique. I had been working hard all week to launch my Intentional Living course, I’d had some other stuff going on, and the podcast was sort of bottom of the barrel to-do list type stuff. But I was going to get it done because I! Am! A! Getter! Doner!
(You know the type.)
After half-heartedly recording the podcast for about 30 minutes (though half-hearted, I think it was still a pretty good episode) and hitting the stop button, Audacity flashed up an error sign with a dire announcement: parts of my audio, for some mysterious reason, had not been stored correctly, and half the podcast had disappeared.
I spent a good solid 5 minutes fuming, smashing buttons and cursing Audacity’s name to the high heavens.
