A great show, as always.
A gift to readers
The Writer’s Voice podcast is a treasure. The level of care, attention and personal investment that goes into each episode is remarkable, as is the opportunity to listen in on a conversation between Deborah Treisman and George Saunders or Margaret Atwood or any of the New Yorker writers. I marvel that such a thing exists! And for free!
Time to upgrade the tech
I really love this podcast. But I think it might be hitting a technical wall of sorts.
Obviously, during the pandemic, readers are having to read from their homes. This means that the quality of their connection, probably on Zoom, makes sometimes for a bad listening experience. (I found the Jan 1 story to be almost incomprehensible a lot of the time.)
I would suggest that it’s time for some upgrading of technical standards. Including microphones with audio interface devices, wired connection to routers, and software (like Jamulus) to route to dedicated servers. This sort of thing is being implemented by musicians now for online playing and singing together. A relatively small investment of money and time makes a huge difference. And it doesn’t require any great technical expertise to get it working.
I think we’re in a time of transition. It’s like 30 years ago when it was amazing to hear any audio files at all (music, etc.) coming across on the internet. But the quality was terrible. We’re at a similar stage with personal connection to the internet.
