The episode this film is about is above; the film itself is below it. A stone outbuilding with no power turns out to be the best-sounding room I have ever recorded in, and the worst to get equipment into.

## What is in it

1. 00:30 Why not a studio, argued properly.
2. 02:40 The car battery, and the inverter that hums.
3. 05:00 Microphone placement in a room with no soft surfaces.
4. 08:15 The forty seconds of silence I nearly cut.

## Made with

- A pair of dynamic microphones
- A recorder older than the podcast
- One car battery

Recorded about recording, which I promise not to do again.
