This was a lot of fun. Too much fun, except for the technical difficulties. You need to find more excuses to have me do podcasts with you. ;)

ROFL. What, you don’t get to play it otherwise? :)

You did good, ladies! My only bit of constructive feedback would be to try to iron out the “dropping” in and out that kept happening. I’m sure that’s already on your to-do list, though, so I’m not telling you anything new.

Ideas for upcoming podcasts? Hmm. I’ll have to get back to you.

Hi Krista! Do you have any suggestions for the best way to splice together audio? My call recorded ended up giving me TWO chunks of audio, and I had to take bits out at the ends because of technical difficulties, haha.

So glad you liked it!

Well, we COULD just do them in person from now on. ;)

Although, I guess that’s good to know if, say, you want to interview someone that doesn’t live right in the same town. Haaah….

What audio software are you using? I know a little bit about audacity, but that’s it.

Nice job. As I listened to the podcast my fella was across the room playing X Box Star Wars Battlefront 1.
We weren’t long distance but held separate households for the first two years. We just moved in with each other in Sept ’09 and it’s been a bit of adjustment but wouldn’t trade it for the world. I liked your point about communication. When I got it that it’s OK and perfectly natural to have different communication styles, so much of my stress and anxiety about the relationship and whether it was OK – went away. I agree that there’s a bit of work involved in marriage/relationship but also a lot of joy and fun.
