 0086.5 TCT - We sound GOOD! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 6:11

What? You thought there would be content? Sorry, no. We're at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Broadcast in Phoenix, Arizona with the ADE Institute. We snuck into a sound room to record this. :)

 0086 TCT - Summer Bonanza! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 45:00

We're mobile again, on our way back from TEPSA and playing with our new toy, the iRig. We learned after the fact that our settings were not ideal. Next time will be better. We start off a little bit on a soapbox. But... we're probably preaching to the choir. Listen through to the end - we have free codes to give away for an excellent iPhone/iPod/iPad app!
