  1. @futureboston Can we get you on WBUR for a live segment, possibly this week? Sent you an email.
  2. @bydanielvictor Hey we're in non-profit news. Safe as houses.
  3. @bydanielvictor Hah. I think your dad hooked me up with my composition teacher at PSU and sent me down a highly questionable academic path.
  4. @aschweig We are nonetheless united by our hatred of that article. "Park Road." Can't get that right, what can you? @bydanielvictor
  5. @bydanielvictor @aschweig Plus I went to Delta
  6. @garpu written for the web/print, sure. but when you write for broadcast, it's totally different.
  7. @garpu oh my dear... we do NOT use AP on the radio.
  8. @garpu well, if my life is any indication, you'll quit music to become a radio reporter at some point, so just tuck that info away.
  9. @garpu but both signals come in completely separate and clean, unlike any of the iphone recording apps.
  10. @garpu the only weird hitch is that you have to hold both the iphone and the mic to your mouth at the same time.
  11. @garpu the mic records to one stereo channel, the phone records to the other. Your end and their end of the conversation can be mixed later.
  12. @garpu run the adapter into the other xlr port on the flash recorder. set the recorder to record in split stereo.
  13. @garpu then run an 8th inch patch chord out of your iphone's headphone jack and into an 8th female to xlr male adapter (20 bucks)
  14. @garpu take your microphone, and plug it into one of the xlr ports as per usual.
  15. @garpu well, most radio reporters carry a hand held flash audio recorder with two xlr inputs. So you need that, to start with.
  16. @aschweig slightly higher tech than that
  17. Just devised an extremely low-tech, high quality, and reliable way of recording phoners in the field. Radio nerds ask if interested.
  18. @jdickerson Want to ask you for a radio show: who should be POTUS, but never will be? Would love to get your answer over skype. Game?

  20. (btw, what I found regressive about that particular answer was that she accused the letter-writer of poor judgment.) @reillyadam
