Over-emotive piano playing... photos that look like something by Wes Anderson... or Andy Warhol... the fake fear/courage distinction about covid, and the return of “mother’s little helper.” You can eavesdrop as I read my blog to my husband.

I’ve been listening to a few of these when I have the chance, and I’m really enjoying them. When I hear you read the posts out loud the tone is a bit different from the voice I hear when I read them in my head and I think it adds an extra dimension. In some ways I feel like it reveals more clearly some of your intent. The extra content is nice as well.
Found on the iPhone podcast app and am listening to the first one. Opposite phenomenon from when you see the picture of somebody you first heard on the radio and they don't look like what you pictured. Professor emerita Althouse doesn't sound like she looks, at least to me. But that's not a negative observation.
Meade, on the other hand, sounds like the folks back home in Indiana.
Thanks, Kay.
I get that a lot, Rick.
It’s only a matter of time before someone in classical music goes full Killer and plays like Jerry Lee Lewis. And then that critic’s hair will burst into great ball o fire!
Doesn’t that happen in “Lisztomania”... the Ken Russell movie with Roger Daltrey?
Chick Corea plays Mozart piano concerto 23 with St Paul Chamber Orchestra, Bobby McFerrin waving the stick.
This is nice, thanks Althouse. I'm not sure what kind of mic you use, but there is a fair amount of noise getting picked up. I think a cardioid mic would eliminate that and focus the sound better on your voice (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATR2100x-USB-Cardioid-Microphone-ATR/dp/B07ZPBFVKK).
nothing more from the frenetic fingers on the fretboard

"I'm not sure what kind of mic you use"
As I say in the podcast, I did 3 different things today. The first segment is done with something I'm not going to use again, for reasons explained in the podcast. The middle section is using AirPod Pro earbuds with the iPhone (in Airplane mode). The end section is using the microphone on the iPad. For reasons explained in the podcast, I'm going to be recording using either the iPhone or the iPad, so I would buy a microphone, but it needs to play nice with those devices, so no USB connector (and I don't know what an "XLR analog output" is).
I've been looking a microphones that connect to the iPhone and iPad... but I maxed out on my patience for reading and worrying about technical things. I start reading the reviews... they say the connector doesn't stay put or something and I'm gone.
Rather than fool with the electronics, maybe it would be easier to experiment with the acoustics of the room, or different rooms.
I had five loads of laundry to fold this morning...no real time to read the blog today, so I was eavesdropping. Definitely made folding laundry better. Thanks.
And in my opinion, the first mic was the best, just because it didn't pick up the background noise, but I heard your voice well. The iPad mic made your voice crisper which wasn't a bad thing, but the background noise accompanying it pushed it to the last of the three.
“ And in my opinion, the first mic was the best...”
To my ear, it’s the worst. I hear a metallic grinding that has nothing to do with the room.
