Sorry guys the audio this week sucked need to fix that

Was Victor going for a Darth Vader sound this week? His audio has phase cancellation problems. I'd recommend checking the mix in mono before publication, since podcasts are frequently played in mono through the iPhone's speaker.

Neil's audio was great. The content was also very good.

Sorry - this was a 10.12.4 bug that bit me. Something in OS X' audio drivers caused distortion.

We record in mono, mix in mono, publish in mono. The issue is "don't update to 10.12.4 before recording." It introduced some distortion and audio driver issues.
