(Also bear with me guys as I try to find the perfect location for the microphone. I have to play with levels post recording when it turned out it was too close so I hope that's okay. I don't know have the energy or brain power to rerecord. Le sigh. It's hard to have the sound quality at the level that I want it to be while hanging off a cliff by a branch like a cartoon animal trying to be a magical Ted talk to drs, politicians, bureaucrats +now ombudsman, etc while also trying to navigate scarcity and illness. So I appreciate your forbearance💗. )
