Nadaljujejo se spopadi v Hormuški ožini, ki je tako že pol leta skorajda povsem zaprta. Zdaj so Hutijevci, ki jih podpira Iran zaprli še Bab al Mandeb, torej vrata v Rdeče morje. S tem pa je zaprta tudi pot skozi Sueški prekop. Kaj to pomeni? Dober mesec je še do izraelskih parlamentarnih volitev, potekale bodo 17. oktobra. Kako kaže Netanjahuju in kako opoziciji? Stopnjuje se nasilje na Zahodnem bregu, skrajni judovski naseljenci napadajo Palestince. Velika Britanija in še 11 držav se je odzvalo s sankcijami. prepovedjo uvoza dobrin pridelanih, proizvedenih v spornih naselbinah. Bo to zaleglo?
Vlada naj bi na današnji seji, po seznanitvi z napovedjo gospodarske rasti Umarja, potrdila rebalans letošnjega proračuna. Z njim bo izdatke zvišala za približno 700 milijonov evrov in jih namenila predvsem za kohezijo in obrambo. Cilj vlade je namreč ob pozivih zveze Nato doseči 2 odstotka za obrambo do konca leta. Ministrska ekipa je obravnavala tudi predlog o začasnih ukrepih za učinkovitejše izvajanje sistema dolgotrajne oskrbe. Ostali poudarki oddaje: Sindikati opozarjajo, da si nekateri avtoprevozniki ne zaslužijo pomoči vlade. Jemenski hutijevci vse bliže ožini v Rdečem morju.

The J-Team gathered together to write tasting notes for a very special upcoming whisky (to be announced shortly) and decided to share their process on how they build the Flavometer -- something they rarely discuss.

What actually makes a microphone directional? In Part One of this seriously nerdy microphone discussion, the team dives into interference tubes, polar patterns, room reflections and the physics behind shotgun microphones. Prompted by a tour of Neumann's anechoic chamber, George, Robert, AP and Robbo examine whether microphones labelled hypercardioid are always what they claim to be. They explore how the Sennheiser MKH 416 achieves its familiar focused sound, why that same microphone can sound horrible in the wrong booth, and what manufacturers such as RØDE and Sennheiser have done differently with newer designs. There is also a surprisingly revealing look at acoustic foam, low frequency room modes, the enormous wavelength of a 20 Hz signal, and how combining microphone capsules creates different polar patterns. Yes, it gets technical. No, the maths does not completely derail the show. Mostly. This is Part One of a two part episode. Thanks to Tri Booth and Austrian Audio for supporting The Pro Audio Suite.

Navkljub rojakom, ki v svetu cestnega kolesarstva postavljajo rekorde in skoraj nedosegljive mejnike, je doslej najmlajši slovenski zmagovalec etape na tritedenskih dirkah danes postal Jakob Omrzel. Povedal je, da se je počutil zelo dobro, da ni utrujen niti po koncu etape ter da samo uživa v trenutku. V skupnem seštevku, kjer na drugem mestu ostaja Primož Roglič, je Omrzel napredoval na 6-to mesto. V oddaji tudi o tem: - Vlada želi z novelo znižati trošarine na kurilno olje, napovedane tudi subvencije za kmete in avtoprevoznike - Ministrica za Slovence v zamejstvu in po svetu Suzana Lep Šiménko od Italije pričakuje recipročen odnos pri zaščiti manjšin - Rdeči križ se pripravlja na osrednji dogodek ob praznovanju 160-e obletnice delovanja.
With their various travel schedules, it's not often everyone on the J-Team has a chance to meet in the same place at the same time -- apparently running a global independent bottling company is a lot of work, and with the 3 of us living in different states & countries, their calendars don't always line up. Today, however, they found some time to sit, relax, and drink whisky together. ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving.

Joshua & Jess bring up a recent Spirits Business article that discusses proposed changes to Irish Potstill Whiskey; changes that would not only expand the range of flavors but also tie the spirit close to the country's history & heritage. Add to this, the pair discuss whisky rating systems and one of the whisky world's most controversial words: "smooth". ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving.

1402. Un RØDE PodMic USB (conseguido gracias a los apoyos de los mecenas del proyecto) es el nuevo micrófono que voy a utilizar como principal en esta octava temporada y, como no podía ser de otra manera, he querido estrenarlo haciendo algo que me apetecía bastante: cambiar de micro en mitad del episodio para que la diferencia no se quede solamente en lo que yo pueda contar, sino que también se pueda escuchar.Hasta ahora llevaba mucho tiempo trabajando con el Shure MV7 (conseguido también gracias a vuestro apoyo) y, ojo, no desaparece de mi equipo. Simplemente pasa a un segundo plano y se queda para esas ocasiones en las que necesite grabar fuera del estudio. A partir de ahora, el sitio principal lo ocupa este PodMic USB, un micrófono que nada más sacarlo de la caja ya deja claro que no es precisamente ligero. Entre el cuerpo, el yugo que lo sujeta y toda la estructura que rodea la cápsula, la sensación es bastante contundente.También me ha gustado mucho el cuidado del embalaje. Puede parecer una tontería, pero cuando compras un producto de cierto nivel se agradece que todo venga bien colocado, protegido y aprovechando cada hueco. En este caso, además del cable y la documentación, me encontré con una sorpresa que no esperaba: el filtro RØDE WS14, un antipop específico para este micrófono que encaja perfectamente y que, comprado aparte, tampoco es precisamente barato.Hay incluso otro detalle mucho más pequeño que me hizo gracia: un tapón de goma para proteger la conexión XLR. Lo curioso es que ya lo había visto antes en televisión, concretamente en 'La noche de Aimar', donde había varios PodMic sobre la mesa utilizados como atrezzo y ese pequeño protector dejaba bastante claro que estaban desconectados.Pero vamos a lo importante, que es cómo suena. Para este episodio he preparado varias pruebas utilizando el mismo texto: primero con el Shure MV7 por USB, después con el RØDE PodMic USB también por USB, luego conectado por XLR a la RØDECaster Duo y, por último, otra vez por XLR pero activando el perfil específico que incluye la propia interfaz para este modelo. En todas las pruebas he ajustado el volumen a -14 LUFS para intentar que la comparación sea lo más justa posible.Y hay una pequeña escena poscréditos en el capítulo porque, cuando estaba haciendo estas pruebas, he descubierto una pega que no esperaba: cuando conecto el PodMic por USB-C, la entrada XLR queda deshabilitada. Con el Shure MV7 podía tener ambas conexiones preparadas al mismo tiempo y aquí no. Así que tocará buscar una solución, quizá con algún interruptor, para recuperar esa comodidad. En fin, estreno de micrófono, pruebas, comparaciones y también primer problema descubierto. Más real imposible.Al final, cambiar una pieza del equipo puede parecer poca cosa desde fuera, pero cuando grabas prácticamente todos los días termina afectando a tu rutina, a tu sonido y también a la forma en la que trabajas. Por eso quería compartir el cambio así, sin demasiada teoría y escuchándolo directamente.Si quieres conocer todos los detalles del RØDE Podmic USB, te invito a visitar la página de RØDE dedicada a este micrófono https://rode.com/es-es/products/podmic-usbPor otro lado, si deseas adquirir este mismo modelo y a la vez apoyar este proyecto, puedes comprarlo a través de Amazon (enlace de afiliados) https://link.amazon/B05uU9K7y_____________ ¡Gracias por pasarte 'Al otro lado del micrófono' un día más para seguir aprendiendo sobre podcasting!

Back in 2018 Joshua & Jason decided to mothball the Whisky Jewbilee in order to focus on the growth of Single Cask Nation. Mothball is the key term here as in implies the thing being mothballed can be taken out again. As Joshua, Jason, and Jess prepare for Whisky Jewbilee 2026 in Chicago (tickets can be purchased here: https://bit.ly/WhiskyJewbilee2026) they took a bit of time to look back at what happened in 2018 and gave an older episode a listen. Here's your chance to do the very same. Boy, was this great to revisit. We can't wait until Thursday, Oct 15th when we get to experience Whisky Jewbilee all over again.

Tretji letošnji vročinski val bo, kot kaže, najdaljši doslej, saj bo vztrajal še vse do konca prihodnjega tedna. Rdeče opozorilo za jugozahod in osrednji del države velja do torka, nato se bo težišče vročine pomaknilo nekoliko bolj proti vzhodu. Vremenoslovci pričakujejo, da se bomo približali temperaturnim rekordom ali dosegli nove. Najvišja temperatura zraka je bila doslej izmerjena pred 13 leti na letališču Cerklje ob Krki, in sicer 40,8 stopinje Celzija. V oddaji tudi: - Inflacija se je julija znižala na 2,9 odstotka, učinek razprodaj znižale drage počitnice. - Španija za vstop 60 tisoč migrantov v severnoafriško eksklavo Ceuta krivi kriminalne združbe. - Načrt mednarodne nogometne zveze za vključitev zasebnega kapitala v šport naletel na ostro nasprotovanje.
Tokratni vročinski val bo rekordno dolg in še bolj vroč od prejšnjega, napovedujejo v Agenciji za okolje - trajal naj bi do konca prihodnjega tedna, temperature pa se bodo približevale 40-ici. Rdeče vremensko opozorilo so danes zato razširili z jugozahodne tudi na osrednjo Slovenijo. Drugi poudarki oddaje: - Inflacija na letni ravni julija padla na 2,9 odstotka - V špansko eksklavo Ceuta po vdoru migrantov napotili vojsko - Hamas privolil v razorožitev v Gazi, a izraelski napadi ne pojenjajo

Združene države so deseto noč zapored napadle Iran, ki odgovarja z bombradiranjem ameriških baz v regiji. V spopadih sta zagorela tudi dva tankerja v Hormuški ožini, ki po iranskih napovedih ostaja zaprta dokler se bo nadaljevala ameriška agresija. S pomorsko blokado Savdske Arabije, ki bi povzročila težave pri izvozu nafte skozi pristanišča v Rdečem morju, pa zdaj gozijo še iranski zavezniki - jemenski hutijevci. Novo zaostrovanje razmer vpliva tudi na skokovito rast cen goriv pri nas. V oddaji še: - Bo vladi uspelo še letos ustanoviti pokrajine? - Šahistka Judit Polgar zavrnila kandidaturo za predsednico Madžarske - Novi britanski premier Andy Burnham začel imenovati ministre svoje vlade

In celebration of Single Cask Nation's 15th anniversary, Joshua and Jason revisit a conversation they had with Anthony Wills, Owner and Managing Director of Kilchoman Distillery. When Single Cask Nation launched, the first three casks of whisky bottled were from Arran, BenRiach, and Kilchoman. We here at SCN HQ consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have been the only independent bottlers to have legally bottled a cask of Kilchoman independently. The boys discuss this and other things as a new introduction to this older episode, one of their favorite conversations to date. Joshua and Jason consider themselves incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to travel all over the world to interview some of the most interesting people within the whisky-making industry (and each guest is as interesting as the next). Few, however, are able answer things as candidly as the good Anthony Wills does in this episode. It's his distillery so he gets to do things and talk the way he likes. We like this. We are thankful for this. So, as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!

It's safe to say that, without Sam Filmus in our lives, there would be no Single Cask Nation, no One Nation Under Whisky, and, on a much larger scale, the whisky landscape in America would be a much quieter place. Sam is a titan in the whisky industry & community. We're lucky enough to call him a friend, and on behalf of Single Cask Nation, we are so thankful for his friendship over these past 15 years and counting. ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in.

In our cask maturation episode with Matt Strickland, where we discussed ex-Bourbon barrels, we dug into the science behind the wood and how it interacts with spirit. In today's episode with David Blackmore, Global Brand Ambassador for Glenmorangie & Ardbeg and dear friend to both Joshua & Jason, we have a more philosophical conversation around "Cask Finishing". Glenmorangie are pioneers, masters, and champions of cask finishing. Let's dig in people. This is going to be a wild ride. ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving.

In this week's tech-focused episode, Tools and Tech That Make Podcasting Faster and Easier, the PMC cast and crew explore the latest podcasting tools and platform updates shaping how creators work today. Adobe Premiere Pro now includes faster, privacy-first AI editing built right into the workflow, while RØDE has released a wave of new gear and software to simplify production without sacrificing quality. The conversation gets practical as we break down what these updates actually mean on the ground, from cleaner audio to smoother, more efficient workflows that support both beginners and experienced creators. As tools continue to remove friction, the bigger question comes into focus: Does easier tech lead to better work, or just faster output?Episode Highlights:[02:39] Community Milestone Shoutout[04:50] Icebreaker Tech Essentials[05:41] Teleprompters and Mic Upgrades[07:53] Blue Yeti Debate Deep Dive[11:39] Editing and Audio Cleanup Tools[15:43] Mixers and Recording Setups[18:59] Riverside Workflow and Hosting Limits[20:47] Live Streaming Reliability Tips[25:07] Descript Rooms and Platform Creep[26:05] Riverside Recommendation[26:51] Adobe Local Transcription[28:25] RØDE NAB Announcements[30:58] Boom Mic Arms And Stands[35:25] Talking Head Trend Shift[37:18] Gary V Advice Debate[43:41] Be A Trendsetter[44:29] Mic On Camera Signals[46:42] Giveaway Updates WrapLinks & Resources: The Podcasting Morning Chat: www.podcastingmorningchat.comWays to Watch or Listen: https://www.podcastingmorningchat.com/joinus/Meet the PMC Cast and Crew:https://podcastingmorningchat.com/peopleJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcastingBook A Free Call With Marc: https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycallApplication To Submit Your Show For Evaluation: https://podcastingmorningchat.com/evalJoin us every other Monday at 7 AM ET for the Obsession Worthy Podcasts:http://podcastingmorningchat.com/owp/Join us LIVE every weekday morning at 7 am ET (US) on Clubhouse: https://podcastingmorningchat.com/clubhouseEPC3 Speaker Application: https://empoweredpodcasting.com/speakersPowered by iRonickMedia.com and ContentCreatorsAccountant.comSend in your mailbag questions: https://www.podcastingmorningchat.contact/ or marc@ironickmedia.comWant to be a guest on The Podcasting Morning Chat?

Joshua wandered the festival floor to speak with a host of guests including David Stirk (show runner), Nate Barlow (producer of the latest Indy Spirits film), Johnny Mundell (one of the Great Islay Swimmers), and more!

There are few things we love more than interaction with our dear Padcost listeners. Tom J. (aka "Tomnamurchan") is one of our more active listeners. He's always sending questions in, letting us know when he's appreciated a podcast episode or a new bottling. Add to this, he's just a nice guy all around. A while back he sent us samples to taste blindly and, together, while they were in Scotland, the J-Team tasted through these whiskies and recorded the blind tasting. Add to this, Joshua brought in an insanely special pour to blind taste Jason and Jess on. Will the J-Team get these whiskies right? Will they get them wrong? There's really only one way to find out. Thanks again to Tom for sending the samples in. We appreciate you more than you can know. ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving.

Why would Amazon shut down the standalone Wondery app after investing so heavily in podcasting? Today, we look at that headline and what it might signal about how major platforms are rethinking their podcast strategy. If a company like Amazon is shifting direction, it raises important questions about where podcast distribution and monetization may be headed next. Today is news day, and we also discuss growing concerns around Libsyn after reports of technical issues and a declining share of new podcast episodes, which has many podcasters wondering what may be happening behind the scenes at one of the industry's oldest hosting platforms. Plus, we explore a new AI-powered tool designed to help podcast networks manage analytics, advertising campaigns, and operations, signaling how artificial intelligence is starting to move deeper into the business side of podcasting.
