Yeah, of ten interviews of this type, you can just manage to hear mumbles from one or two. Of course the gnat farts three rows over reverberate, and a cough from across the room, but nothing from the interviewer or interviewee.
I understand that instead of having to rely on a small integral microphone on a recorder, they have these really innovative, high-tech things called 'directional microphones' which cost as low as ten bucks or so, and you can actually plug them right into the recorder.
I recall all the interviews with Golden - and we could barely hear him - AT A UNIVERSITY! But they got that fixed at least on the last one I heard.
Microphones. Microphones. Microphones.
Interviews are not interviews when you can't hear the interview, and it drives me nuts as I want to listen!
I'm glad someone ELSE finally said something -
