Today you’ll hear the first proper recording using Penelope.

The facilities, as I’ve said in the past, have been updated.

The introduction was recorded with Penelope and her stereo microphone.

The first half of the podcast-proper, titled, “Penelope,” was recorded using a vocal microphone plugged into Penelope.  A bit of popping with the /p/ sounds, and unintended hand-to-mic noises, which means I’ll need to get pop filters and stands.

Otherwise, it all sounds wonderful, I think.

A run through audacity, some compression, equalization, noise reduction, chopping and polishing.

Who said you couldn’t polish a turd?

For music, we’re going new-school to old-school soul.  First, Khalid with “Location.”  Last, Stevie Wonder with “As.”  In the middle, RJ’s instrumental jam, “I Can Read Your Mind,” which I haven’t used in a year or so.

We present to you, “Penelope and Hood Ghosts.”

Oh, Ghosts in the Hood.  On WeTV.  If it seems at all intriguing, watch it.  I promise.
