This podcast with frequent podcast panelist Steven Hughes (who was visiting Hawaii on a work trip) is actually more of a recording exercise/test. It was recorded on the road in a car using a pair of Airhug 30 wireless lavalier microphones connected to a receiver on an iPhone 15 Pro Max using the Just Press Record app. The audio was first processed using Adobe Podcast Enhance set at 5% and the further processed with Audacity to reduce the lower frequencies (bass) and increase the high frequencies (treble). I also increased the audio volume since one of the side effects of using Adobe Podcast Enhance is a significant volume reduction.
Steve and I discussed a variety of topics including the recent Made by Google product announcements.
