About his scoring vs. Kessel’s.

i concur

I listened to it about 40 times last night and never stopped laughing.

Like the intro, love the elevator music “Girl From Ipanema” segues.

My buddy Bojangles. and I started out in our industry at the same time, working for two different employers. Bojangles is a good guy, but the slowest moving, most uh, “chill-axed” is the term I think, fellow you’re ever likely to meet. Bojangles kept getting sent out by his employer to essentially do some quasi-detective work to try and help shut down some dudes selling knock off merchandise on Yonge St. I teased him incessantly about having his own T.V. show, Bojangles P.I. and insisted that the opening montage of this show would feature an elevator music version of Girl from Ipanema. Every chase sequence too would feature the bad guys going like hell, driving fast and running through crowds, leaping fences, etc. with up-tempo guitar rock in the background. The smash cuts to Bojangles in “pursuit” would show him just striding along the street at a leisurely walk, smiling, to Girl from Ipanema.

I wish the grant had come through from the government to make a pilot. That show would’ve been hilarious.

the best part was my cat was on the couch next to me the whole time

Personally, I’m going home to listen to it again.

i always read it as ‘kemmy’… .. what the hell is a chemmy anyways

too bad

Ok!

I got it eventually. I’m just slow.

Sweet

like a young Tom Sellick.

I hadn’t made that connection, but now that you mention it, it’s impossible not to notice.

I generally read your posts as if they’re being dictated by Don LaFontaine.

Ha ha, I doubt very much that anyone would not want to hear what you have to say. Hmm, checking double negatives there; just to be sure, the point I’m trying to make is that you make a valuable contribution to the discussion (wrong opinion about nuclear cheez notwithstanding :-) )

As for the sound, I’m not so sure it’s necessarily about the equipment you’re using on your end. Puckurgently (@archluke) would know more about this than I do, but it struck me while listening that the podcast needed some compression to moderate the differences between the very loud sounds and the very quiet ones – all of which means that the listener can adjust his or her equipment to a comfortable volume and not worry about significant variations in the signal level.

Don’t know what audio production software you (and/or Chemmy?) are using to produce the final audio file, but most packages have some sort of compression/dynamic range plug in that you can use to process a recorded signal to achieve the desired results. I know that audacity (open source, free), Cubase (proprietary, Windows) and GarageBand (proprietary, Mac) all have features that allow you to achieve this.
