• Great Farm Phone section! 6 calls from the last 2 weeks. 206-202-GOAT

This weeks show is a little different. I’m down under, and Misty is busy taking care of chores at home all by herself. We recorded this show while we did the chores on or around the 15th. I put the binaural microphones to my ears, took the camera and walked around the farm taking pictures and talking about what’s going on. This podcast would really benefit from being listened to with headphones due to the way it was recorded, it will make you feel like you are there with me.

I took pictures as I went, and you can hear the camera going off every time. Just use that to know when to change picture. It also means I couldn’t remove bad pictures, so you get the good with the bad. I hope you can follow along.

Show 73 is a little windy, oh well it’s summer time podcasting. This weeks show gets to the point pretty quick because we have SIX yes 6 calls to the Farm Phone (206-202-GOAT) and they are all wonderful calls.
