Your microphones are all messed up. It sounds like they are not connected to your camera or your audio recorder. The sound is horrible.

Many apologies about this. I had an unusual error with my microphones whilst recording. I’ll ensure to test more before I start future recordings to ensure this doesn’t happen again. (I’ve recorded one since and the audio was fine.) I was worried about releasing this ep but was convinced it was just about ok to.

@@TheHumanPodcast. thanks for replying. Personally, I would not have uploaded the video for viewing because of the poor audio quality, but I realize all the time and effort when puts into videos like this, and I can understand why you decided to do it. My ear, the audio is so distracting and poor that I instantly turned away from it, but that does not mean everybody would do that.
