The recorded this podcast outdoors using the relatively new ABSGEEGA K51 wireless lavalier microphones recorded to an iPhone 14 Pro.
They also reminisced a bit about working with mainframes in the good ol' days :-)

The earlier Absgeega wireless lavalier mic I bought worked well with Android devices. However, when using an iPhone or iPad, the recorded volume was extremely low. After noting this in a 3-star Amazon review, Absgeega contacted me and offered a refund. However, since I was able to use it to record in-person podcasts using an Android-based Pixel 7a, I turned down that offer. They then offered to send a newer model after it became available. The Absgeega K61 appeared a few days ago. This mini-podcast was recorded outdoors using it with an iPad mini 6 and an audio recording app named Just Press Record.
