Podcasts about XLR

Beatle Bangers? I barely even Beatle knew'ers! Is this thing on? No, for real, is this thing on? The microphone in my hand, I mean. Is it on? Can people hear these bits or is the silence merely judgement? What if the XLR is broken? Or the DI? Maybe the audio fella's on coke? Surely that's possible, but what if the silence is because these “jokes” are terrible? And maybe they're not even jokes at all, but more of a psychological crisis, thinly masquerading as “comedy”? If so, would there be more questions like:

Send a question for 'Ask Megan'Hey, Podcasters!Podcast equipment has gotten a lot better over the last few years.Unfortunately, it's also gotten a lot more confusing.There are hundreds of microphones, dozens of audio interfaces, and no shortage of YouTube videos telling you the "best" setup. It's easy to spend weeks researching gear instead of recording your next episode.That's why we put together ​Podcast Equipment: What I Learned from 500 Episodes​. Instead of reviewing every microphone on the market, it focuses on the handful of equipment decisions that actually make a difference so you can build a setup you'll be happy with for years.One of those decisions is whether to choose a USB or XLR microphone.That's exactly what we cover in this week's episode of Podcasting Q&A. We break down the tradeoffs, explain who each option is best for, and hopefully save you from buying more microphone than you actually need.Whether you're starting from scratch or making a few upgrades, these resources will help you build a setup that works for you!Listen to Podcasting Q&ARead BlogNew to Buzzsprout?Join us today at 3:30p pm EST for a ​Buzzsprout Orientation​ hosted by our Podcaster Success Team.

In Episode 499 of the Reformed Brotherhood, Tony Arsenal and Jesse Schwamb conclude their extended study of Matthew 25 with a close examination of the Sheep and Goats passage (vv. 31–46). The conversation tackles one of the most frequently misread sections in the Gospels — a text often weaponized for works-righteousness or social-justice reductionism — and recovers its deeply Reformed, gospel-saturated meaning. The hosts argue that the works displayed at the final judgment are not meritorious currency but the spontaneous, unselfconscious fruit of transformed hearts. They explore the significance of the sheep's surprise, the inheritance language of the kingdom, unconditional election, and the precise meaning of "the least of these." The result is a theologically rich, pastorally grounding episode that offers genuine assurance to believers while calling the church to practical, ordinary mercy toward its own members. Key Takeaways Works at the final judgment reveal identity, not merit. The sheep are on the right because they are sheep — not because their accumulated deeds earned them a place. Their works flow from a renewed nature, not toward a threshold they must clear. The righteous are surprised — and that surprise is theologically decisive. If the sheep were consciously stacking up merit for judgment, they would have kept careful ledgers. Their inability to recall their own works demolishes any works-righteousness reading of the passage. Inheritance is not wages. Jesus' use of the word "inherit" signals that the kingdom is received by virtue of relationship, not performance — a point reinforced by Paul in Romans 8 and Galatians 4. Election precedes and grounds the works. The kingdom was prepared "before the foundation of the world," meaning the deepest cause of the sheep's blessedness long predates any of their deeds. Works are downstream of grace, never upstream. "The least of these" refers primarily to fellow believers, not to the poor in general. The phrase "my brothers" in verse 40 narrows the referent to members of Christ's body — those who belong to him by adoption, faith, and union with Christ. There is no two-stage justification. The final judgment is not a second review of whether one has done enough. It is a reassertion of the righteousness of Christ already imputed to believers — a public vindication, not a fresh assessment. Practical, ordinary mercy toward the church is the mark of kingdom membership. The six works listed — feeding, giving drink, hospitality, clothing, visiting the sick, visiting the imprisoned — are not heroic or extraordinary. They are the unglamorous, costly, consistent kindness that flows naturally from those who have been made new. Key Concepts The Surprise of the Righteous: A Devastation of Works-Righteousness One of the most theologically loaded moments in Matthew 25:31–46 is the reaction of the righteous at the judgment: "Lord, when did we see you?" They are not feigning humility. They genuinely do not remember. As Jesse Schwamb notes in this episode, this surprise is "devastating to a works-righteousness reading of the passage" — because anyone consciously building a merit ledger would have kept meticulous records. The sheep kept none. Their works flowed so naturally and unselfconsciously from hearts already made new by the Spirit that those works barely registered as remarkable. This is precisely what the Reformed doctrine of sanctification predicts: truly gracious affections issue in Christian practice as the spontaneous fruit of a transformed nature — as natural as a good tree producing good fruit. The works are real, the works matter, but they are not calculated. They are evidence, not currency. Inheritance, Election, and the Order of Grace Jesus does not tell the sheep they earned the kingdom. He tells them to inherit it — and he specifies that it was prepared for them "from the foundation of the world." These two details together form a nearly complete statement of Reformed soteriology embedded in the judgment scene itself. Inheritance, as both Paul and Jesus make clear, is received through relationship and not through performance. An heir does not negotiate terms; an heir receives by virtue of who they are in relation to the testator. Layered on top of this is the language of eternal, unconditional election: the kingdom's preparation predates all human works, good or bad. There is no "looking down the corridor of foreseen merit" here. The sheep's blessedness has its deepest root in the sovereign grace of God exercised in eternity past — which means their works, however real and meaningful, can never be the ground of their standing before the King. "The Least of These": The Church as the Primary Referent A significant and often overlooked interpretive question in Matthew 25 is the identity of "the least of these my brothers" (v. 40). The episode argues, in line with the dominant Reformed and historical reading, that this phrase refers primarily to fellow believers — members of Christ's body who are suffering, vulnerable, or marginalized within the community of faith. The word "brothers" is not incidental. It places the referent in a specific covenantal and familial relationship with Christ. This does not exclude broader applications of mercy — the hosts acknowledge that the principle may extend centrifugally outward — but the center of the text is the church's care for its own. This reading is consistent with Galatians 6:10 ("do good to all people, especially the household of faith"), with Acts 9 (where persecuting the church is persecuting Christ), and with the overall logic of the passage, in which belonging to the King is the decisive category. Memorable Quotes Their works flowed so naturally and unselfconsciously from a renewed heart that they scarcely remembered them, let alone regarded them as currency for salvation. — Jesse Schwamb Sheep are put on the right side because they are sheep, and goats are put on the left side because they are goats — not because they act like sheep or because they act like goats. Those characteristics flow from what they are. They don't make them what they are. — Tony Arsenal God provides grace. Now do all that you can do. That's the Christian way to look at things. He has prepared good works in advance for us to walk in. This is not some sort of measurement of whether or not you're in the kingdom. It's a description of what those who are in the kingdom look like and how they behave. — Tony Arsenal Full Transcript [00:00:08] Jesse Schwamb: Welcome to episode 499 of the Reformed Brotherhood. I'm Jesse.  [00:01:13] Tony Arsenal: And I'm Tony, and this is the podcast with ears to hear. Hey, brother.  [00:01:18] Jesse Schwamb: Hey, brother. Well, we're back. We're back in Matthew 25, and if you haven't been tracking with us for a little while, we've, we've talked about all the parables hanging out in Matthew 25. But what we've been talking about recently is this kind of surprise pop quiz, that's redundant, that Jesus kind of gives at the final judgment, and he talks about separating these groups into sheep, into goats, and the sheep aren't shocked that they get into heaven. They're shocked that their quiet, kind of unglamorous kindness apparently got tallied at all. And because all of these good works apparently are done from a heart already made new, have a way of sneaking past even their own doers' notice. But then there's this other group, the goats, and they learn the hard way that they never really did anything for anybody. And it's not a great look when your deeds are just faith's paper trail. And so Jesus has a lot to say to us in this, what we're calling, like, parable adjacent kind of message that he gives. Summarizing these three- Yeah ... great teachings, here comes all of this really direct and explicit instruction about, uh, the final judgment, which by the way is impossible for me now to hear or say without thinking of the final countdown. [00:02:30] Tony Arsenal: The final judgment.  [00:02:32] Jesse Schwamb: I was hope- I was hoping you would sing us into that, and it was beautiful. Yeah. It was fantastic.  I  [00:02:36] Tony Arsenal: try. I  try.  [00:02:37] Jesse Schwamb: So I think on this episode we got a lot to say in our ongoing conversation about this judgment, about these deeds, these works. What are they? What is their purpose, especially for these different groups of sheeps and goats? What's the deal?  [00:02:52] Affirm Deny Segment [00:02:52] Jesse Schwamb: So we'll get to all of that in just a second, but first, it's that blessed and glorious time in every Reformed Brotherhood conversation where we either affirm with something that is something that we really like, think is understated, that's really is not getting the attention, people are sleeping on, or conversely, we deny against something that just isn't that cool, just is not that great. So Tony, are you affirming with something or are you gonna deny against something today?  [00:03:17] Tony Arsenal: I'm affirming with something. I'm not sure how long this has been a thing. I stumbled upon it, uh, a little while ago, and it's been in my affirmations list for a couple weeks. Um, and I'm also not 100% sure that this is available to every Logos Bible user. So those are the caveats.  [00:03:33] Logos Minutes Reading Plans [00:03:33] Tony Arsenal: Um, what I stumbled upon is if you create a reading plan now, instead of saying, "I wanna finish this book by this date or in this number of sessions," uh, you can say, "I wanna finish this book by reading X minutes a day," which is great. Um, it's a, it's a feature that I've, I thought, like, why didn't they have this a long time ago? Because a lot of times you want to sort of set aside a certain amount of time a day. Maybe it's 15, 20 minutes of Bible reading. Maybe it's five minutes of Bible reading. Maybe it's 30 minutes of- Bavinck or Calvin or whatever you're reading. So what you can do now is you tell it the page range or you tell it, "I wanna read the whole book." Uh, you could do, you know, passages or verse ranges or sections of the Bible. And then where you normally in the next screen where it would ask you, uh, how many days you wanna read, how many sessions, or whether you wanna read until a certain date, there's a new option. And so it just divides that up based on the amount of time. What's really slick is it will actually break pages in half. Nice. So, like, if you have a short, um, either a short amount of pages that you wanna read, and it's kinda like I wanna read for two or three minutes a day, and two minutes is not a whole page. I run into this when I'm reading Matthew Henry when I'm preparing for sermons, because for whatever reason, uh, maybe it's just the Logos page pagination, but the pages are really long. Like, a one page of Matthew Henry's commentary will sometimes take, like, 10 or 15 minutes to read, which is obnoxious. Um, I think it's just that the pages are just, like... I don't know, I think it's just long pages. Um, but if you say I wanna read this one page and I wanna read for five minutes a day, it'll actually split the page up, um, into chunks based on the word count and whatnot. And obviously, that five minutes is, it's not calculating how quickly you read, like, uh, Kindle does sometimes when you're doing that.  [00:05:25] Jesse Schwamb: Right.  [00:05:25] Tony Arsenal: Um, so it's basing that on an average reading speed. So if you're a little faster, uh, of a reader, then it'll be, you know, you'll get done a little quicker, and it might take you a little longer if you're slower. But it's a really slick feature, and I think it's, like I said, I think most of us If we wanna be diligent to read whatever it is we're reading, whether it's the Bible or other theological works, um, we want to set aside time, and we wanna sorta time block. We've talked a lot about productivity, um, in this podcast. We wanna, like, time block our time so it's protected and it's, it's set aside for that task or for that purpose, and this is a great way to do it. So you just put it on your calendar. You say, "I've got 15 minutes that's set aside to read the Bible in the morning, and I know that it's gonna be a digestible chunk." And then it's a, you know, it's no longer a, a date-bound reading plan, so there's no falling behind. If you miss a day, it just means you pick up the next day. Right. So it's a great way to do it. Again, not that there's anything wrong with time-bound reading plans or deadlines, but it's a little bit of a different way to make sure that you're getting into the Word or whatever book you're reading, uh, consistently. [00:06:30] Jesse Schwamb: That's definitely a feature that I think people are sleeping on in Logos. I have that too, so I don't know if, like you said, it is d- coupled with some kind of particular package or dependent on that.  [00:06:40] Stress Free Reading Habits [00:06:40] Jesse Schwamb: But generally, I think maybe we haven't spoken enough about, like, just making what- whatever it looks like, stress-free reading plans, because I was also reading some stuff by Ryan Holiday recently, and just the reminder of how there really is a fair amount of time to read, to actually consume, like- Yeah good written material. And really, it's maybe a little bit more about how, like, we understand walking and the benefits of walking now. You don't need to, like, set aside 20 or 30 minutes to go for a walk. Even going for, like, a quick burst of three to five minutes is so happy and healthful for you. And so I think- Yeah that in the same way, we actually do have more time to read than we think, and if you wanna, like, consume material and learn more things or just become more meditative in your thoughts spiritually, I think if you create the plan, that's just another thing to, like, help you on the way. But it's gotta be one that's, like, stress-free, like you're saying, and that's what I like about the Logos. You just set it up, and every time you go back into it, it's kinda asynchronous, and so, like, it just starts you off with wherever you're at. It's never gonna, like, pop up and be like, "You missed a day, and now you owe me 60 pages." Yeah. "Get on the ground and give it to me." Like, it's, it's not gonna be like that. So I love the joy of having the plan before you, and then that means that when the time comes, you're like, "Oh, I got a couple minutes," you can just go there. It can guide you into that reading, like, easily, succinctly, with low barriers, and make you feel happy and feel, like, that joy of reading again.  [00:08:04] Tony Arsenal: Yeah. Yeah, I, I think it's great. And, you know, I think sometimes we fall into this trap, and you kind of alluded to it. Like, you fall into this trap that if you don't, uh, if you don't have, like, 20, 30 minutes to sit and read, that it's not worth it. Right. Right. And I know I used to fall into that trap, where I felt like if I didn't sit down and read an entire chapter, that I somehow was not actually, like, getting the material. But I think most of us have some sort of regular, uh, like, waste time. Uh, and what I mean is, like, for me, I ride the bus home every, like, every day. Most days I ride the bus home, and I know that's about a 25, 30-minute period of time that, um, I can choose to, like, scroll Twitter, and that's fine. Like, it's fine to do that. I can listen to podcasts. Um, I can do all sorts of stuff. I play video games on my tablet. Um, or I could set aside 15 of those minutes and have a p- sort of a preset reading. And you will be surprised, or maybe you won't. Maybe I'm the only one who's been surprised at this, but I think you'll be surprised uh, to find how quickly you actually move through material, even at- Right something like five minutes a day. So just for example, Joel Beeke's, uh, Systematic Theology Volume 1 is about 28 hours worth of reading, at least according to Logos. If you set aside 15 minutes per day, you will finish that reading in approximately 114 sessions. So that's not that long. That's not bad. That's like a third of a year. That's not bad, yeah. So you could, you could read through all of Joel Beeke, which is thousands of pages. I mean, we're talking, we're talking four, four different five or 600 page volumes. Um, and this, this actually is counting, like, the table of contents and the index, so, like, not all of it is what you're gonna read. You could read through that whole thing in under a year and a half if you just set aside 10 or 15 minutes. Um, and obviously if you have more time, maybe you have a 45 minute, um, bus ride home or, you know, you, you regularly have doctor's appointments and you know you're gonna be in the waiting room two days a week every week or something like that, this is a great way to just make sure you've got something set aside. Like your dad always says, you always say, like, "Bring a book." Well- That's right ... this is not only bring a book, but it's bring a book with like a s- like a set chunk of that book set aside for that time period. So maybe it's your lunch break, maybe it's the walk in from the bus stop, whatever it is. Um, I think it's, it's pretty straightforward. And all the old features, like all the old ways of setting up reading plans are still there. They're not eliminating those. Um, and this is just a great way, I think, to get, kind of get your reps in. Like, sometimes you just have to do the work and- Right ... get your reps in.  [00:10:45] Jesse Schwamb: Get it.  [00:10:45] Tony Arsenal: And this is a low pressure, this is a low pressure way to do it. It's not, um, it's not setting aside specific amounts of, uh, dates or anything like that. So yeah, check it out. It's, it's super easy to access, it's the same way you would always make a reading, um, like a reading goal. Um, and you actually can still set a regular reading schedule even with this feature. You could still say, "I wanna read Monday, Wednesday, Friday." You could say, "I don't wanna have a schedule at all," which means you just, when you click on it, it just brings you to the next section, but there's never any reminders. So they actually really are, like, expanding the way that, uh, you're able to generate these reading plans. The one thing I wish they had that I'm not sure why they don't, I wish they had a dynamic catch-up feature where, like, if you were... You know, let's say I wanted to finish this book and I wanted to finish it by, I don't know, the end of the year, and I missed a couple days or I missed a week, I wish there was a way to push a button and have it just redistribute the remaining readings out across- Right ... what's left of the reading plan. That's not there. That's a... If you're listening, Logos, or someone who works at Logos, that's what we need. I've told you that before. Why haven't you listened to me? But, um, uh, yeah, we need that. But th- this is a good start too, because again, it's, it's not, um- It's not making you do a deadline. Right. So it's much more relaxed paced. [00:11:59] Jesse Schwamb: Exactly. Exactly. That's one of the things I love about it.  [00:12:03] Burst Reading Benefits [00:12:03] Jesse Schwamb: Uh, let me make, like, one more plea if you're, like, like you're listening and you're unconvinced about this burst style reading, and that is I've been so convinced that that kind of consumption can be really helpful to processing reading. Because especially if it's like, say you're reading something of the Puritans or something relatively deep, there is something to be said of course for, like, being able to sit down if you have all this time and just kind of read to get the flow. But what I think even there I struggle with is some things are worth stopping and thinking about, and this forces- Yeah ... some kind of meditation that happens in the background anyway, and I've found that to be so helpful. Like, it kind of just creates a little bit of attentional space by way of making you walk away from the thing that you just read. And also, if you know that you've only got this short little time span available, I think I'm prone to read kind of in a different way with a little bit more focus.  [00:12:52] Tony Arsenal: Yeah.  [00:12:53] Jesse Schwamb: And then I find myself really thinking about some of those things. And some of the things that you and I talk about, the things that we love to read, are worth stopping and considering. And so it's too easy to be like, "Well, I just, I need to hit the page number. I gotta get the count in. I wanna get this volume finished." Yeah. And that's great, but at the same time, like presumably, like we read to comprehend, we read to put into practice, we read to, like, help us build wisdom and to process the world and to understand things in a more robust and profound way, and that can really only happen with that kind of spacing. So this builds in some spacing, so embrace that as I think a feature and not a bug maybe of some good reading.  [00:13:29] Tony Arsenal: Yeah. Yeah, it's funny you, you mentioned Ryan Holiday earlier. One of the things I appreciate about his, um, at least most of his books, I've only read the sort of the Stoic Wisdom series, but, um, he keeps his chapters super short. [00:13:40] Jesse Schwamb: Yeah.  [00:13:40] Tony Arsenal: So, like, part of that is sort of the self-help grocery store format that he's, he's going for. Um, not that it's... It's not empty calories, that's not what I'm saying. I think sometimes that is implied there. But he keeps his chapters short, so it's very easy, like, to just pick up. I'm working through Discipline Is Destiny right now. It's the one I'm reading now. It's very easy to just pick it up and be like, "I'm gonna read one chapter," and it's, like, five, 10 minutes long. Um, and the chapters are... They're not identical, but they repeat enough themes that, like, y- you don't need to really, like, sit down and really, like, cram through it to get the concept. Right. But you'll read through and you'll get the concept over and over again. And I actually think the Puritans can... Some of the Puritans can be that same way, where they say the same thing- Right ... slightly differently over and over again. Um, another book that reminds me of that is, um, Knowing Christ by Mark Jones, which we talked, but that's a, it's weird that that's actually kind of an old book now. Um- Right ... I think it's coming up on close to a decade now since it came out. Um, but those chapters are super short, 10, 15 minutes. So this kind of at a burst reading, session reading, rap reading, whatever you wanna call it, it's actually super productive and it's, it is, you're right, it's very good for meditation because you are taking time to do it. You're doing it consistently, so it's kind of, it's kind of like hammering itself into your head. Um, but it's not, it's not so much time that it, you get, like, reading fatigue.  [00:15:01] Jesse Schwamb: Right. Right. Exactly. That's a beautiful thing.  [00:15:04] Tony Arsenal: Yeah.  [00:15:05] Jesse Schwamb: I, I agree. Like, it's reading all kinds of ways, but one of the things that Ryan Holiday was recently convicted me of is, like, he talks about how many things he's able to consume. People are always like, "How are you able to read all those books with all the traveling, all the different things, engagements that you have?" And he's like, "Because I just read all the time. I read when I'm-" Right ... waiting at the post office. I read when I have, like, literally three minutes between doing something or picking up a kid, that, that I read." And I don't know, I kinda like that idea. I, I... he's not ashamed to be like, "If that's... If I have 30 seconds, I probably just pull up a book," because I think that that's even- Yeah ... valuable space in which to consume good writing. So, and when I r- I, I, like, subscribe to all, maybe like you, like all these different feeds, all these lists. There are just- Yeah ... so many things I wanna read. My to-read list is so stacked, pun intended, and it's like books of- I know ... all kinds. And then I'm in this space now where I find that as I'm getting older, again, one, like suddenly birds continue to be interesting to me in new ways that I never anticipated, and the second thing is, like, suddenly I wanna read all this history. And so, like, now there's like this whole, where it never really appealed to me before, now there's like this, all this new, like, vistas opened up, and I'm like, "Who has time for this?" So- Yeah ... maybe the idea is to just, again, consume it in bites. And I'm beginning to really appreciate that as an effective strategy for not, like, re- necessarily reading more, but learning more, and learning it better. [00:16:26] Tony Arsenal: Yeah. Yeah. And I actually think it is probably an effective strategy for reading more for most people. I know it has been for me- True ... to just sit down and do, do a few minutes at a time. Um- Just get it ... I've got kids, there's work to do. Like, it's, y- you're not gonna be able to... Most, I think most of our listeners are probably not in a- stage of life anymore where you can really devote hours to study like you maybe you could when you were in your 20s, where you just- Right you had a job and you didn't have much else responsibility. You, you just, you know, you just had things to do. Uh, it's not like that for most of us anymore. So being able to take five, 10 minutes and, and read a book is probably a luxury, but it's probably a luxury that we could, we could probably structure our lives and make that more of a reality. Right. And this feature in Logos will help you do that with really any theological book you can practically think you wanna get your hands on that's available on Logos. So Jesse- Right ... we could talk about reading all night every night, and we- ... love to read, but that's not what this podcast is about today. So why don't you tell us what you're affirming or denying?  [00:17:27] Jesse Schwamb: Yeah.  [00:17:27] Jesse Book Pick Perkins [00:17:27] Jesse Schwamb: Well, now, now I'm gonna switch it up because I had a book, and so, like, it just seems like people are gonna be like, "Oh, of course," and you just rolled right into that. So the quick affirmation is more Puritan stuff, A Perfect Redeemer by William Perkins. That's this week's book, so you should do that. I don't know if it's available on Logos. I presume that it is, and you can set up your own reading plan, and it's beautiful and amazing, and Perkins makes a case that true satisfaction isn't found in things, but in Christ. He tears down all these illusions of self-sufficiency and points us to rest fully in God's grace. It's beautiful. It's glorious. It's practical. It's like 27, to your point, Tony, 27, I think, like, really brief chapters. Perfect for the bus. Like, it's prime bus reading.  [00:18:05] Tony Arsenal: Yeah.  [00:18:06] Jesse Schwamb: So yeah, that's affirmation. Okay.  [00:18:07] Denial Dying Guitar Batteries [00:18:07] Jesse Schwamb: Here's a denial, 'cause I've rarely do denials, but as you were speaking I was reminded of one that came up this morning that maybe is only going to really resonate with a small group, but I think if you know, you know. I was actually, this denial was constructed out of a conversation I had with a dear brother this morning, who I think was sharing the denial with me, uh, but might have been suspicious entirely of what I was going after. But it's this. A lot of, I'm trying to think how to set this up properly so it's, like, explained to a wider audience. So a lot of guitar instruments, that's a weird way to say this, but, like, I'm talking about guitars that have to be plugged in, have some kind of, like, onboard electronics. But principally, like, electric instruments. I'm talking about, like, electric bass, electric guitar. They usually have what's called, like, a preamp in them, which means that the signal is essentially being set up before it goes to the board, and that process requires some power. And so generally those instruments have, like, a little, you know, battery that goes in them, uh, uh, different kinds. Here's my denial. I don't know why so many of these instruments, including the- most of the ones that I own, have no nothing, no indicator to tell you how close that battery is to dying. And so what happens is- Yeah you, I think every musician, everybody who plays an instrument of, of this nature has had this happen to them, where they need to play it in a critical environment, and then the battery dies. And why I'm denying this is because this came up for me yesterday, where I was, had the benefit of playing at a church event, but it was with my acoustic electric guitar. It, it's a Martin D-16. It's a beautiful guitar. But even the Martin, it doesn't have an indicator on it. And so, like, I always swap out the battery, which I think is probably pretty wasteful, because I knew I had to leave this guitar plugged in on stage for, like, almost two and a half hours before it was gonna be used, and whenever it's plugged in, it's drawing the power. And so, so many times you get halfway through, you're playing, you're in a worship set or you're making music with people, and it just goes out on you, and when it goes out, there's no way to get the sound back except for, at least in my instrument, you have to unplug it, you have to pop out the battery, you have to put it back in. There's no, nothing discreet about this. There's nothing convenient about this. And there's certainly nothing- ... like, noiseless about that, especially if the person running sound is not being- Doesn't know ... very, like, adept with how they're handling the instrument so that you don't, like, blow people's ears out as you try to replace the battery. So I'm just wondering about this. Like, come on, instrument manufacturers. I know it's probably not pretty to put this somewhere, but you could put it somewhere discreet. Here's what I just wanna say, though, finally. Um, please don't at me. I know that there are some, especially like acoustic electric guitars, Fender's a good example, like onboard Fishman pickups that have, like, the EQ box. Some of them do have this indicator, but not enough. And if it's, like, an electric guitar- Yeah ... I rarely see this on a pure electric guitar. So please, for the love, just put, like, a little light. Maybe, maybe it turns orange or yellow or red when, like, the battery's about to go. I just, I need to know, because it's, it's so nerve-wracking when you're playing and you're like, "Oh, no. When did I last change this battery? How much longer is this thing going to last?"  [00:21:28] Tony Arsenal: Yeah. You know, I'm, I'm wondering, um, maybe I don't know enough about electrical engineering, but I actually feel like being able to determine when a random battery is starting to lose charge is probably a fairly intricate process, so that might be why, like, there's not as many. It's funny, my Ibanez guitar, which I haven't, I haven't even taken out of its case in years, I just don't, don't have a, a, a real occasion for it anymore, um, it has an indicator on it. So it's funny that you say that 'cause, like-  [00:21:59] Jesse Schwamb: Some do  [00:22:00] Tony Arsenal: Not a cheap guitar, but it's, um- Right ... it's not, yeah, it's not like a super expensive guitar. Uh, and it does have a little indicator. It's just like a little blinking light when the battery- Yes ... starts to go, it just blinks. Um, but yeah, even then, it still... It's funny, I, um, when I was in like high school and, and first couple years of college, I helped out with youth ministry at my church quite a bit, and I would often be on the team that would go, like, down to the camp the day before to set up all the equipment and to, like, get everything ready. And I remember I was always, I was always being told like, "Make sure you change the batteries. Make sure you change the batteries." Right. And like- Right ... it was always my job first thing in the morning to go around to all the microphones and all the guitars and, like, change out all the batteries. And I remember thinking, "This is so wasteful." Right. But then I remember, like, the one time we didn't do it, and it, like, crashed in the middle of, like, the big... And again, like, I don't even know if I would support this model of camp ministry anymore, but it crashed in the middle of, like, the big worship set on, like, the, like, the emotional decision- Yeah for Jesus night. Your altar call- It crashed in the middle of it ... totally blown  [00:23:01] Jesse Schwamb: up.  [00:23:01] Tony Arsenal: Yeah, and it, it, and it did. Like, it affected everything. We had to, like, stop and... So yeah, always, always change your batteries. Um, you know, like, I, you, I, when I was doing musical worship on a regular basis, I just had a couple, like, inexpensive rechargeable batteries that I would swap out at the beginning of each session. I would put the battery that was in my guitar into the charger and the battery that was in the charger into my guitar. Um, and those, those wear out over time too, so that- Right ... you know, that, that's not a healthy charging habit for those batteries, and you go through them faster. But it's better than throwing away a nine-volt battery every couple of, you know, couple of days, so. [00:23:37] Jesse Schwamb: Yeah.  [00:23:37] Tony Arsenal: Yeah. That's annoying. It's, it's obnoxious when that happens. Um,  [00:23:40] Jesse Schwamb: that's, that's why I'm just straight denying against it. I suspect that this is a matter of aesthetics, and that many of these manufacturers don't wanna put something as ugly as a light somewhere on this beautiful instrument, even if it's in, like, a discreet place. That's my guess. Yeah,  [00:23:53] Tony Arsenal: maybe.  [00:23:54] Jesse Schwamb: I also theorize, like, why can't there be an intermediary pedal that would help us with this? So, like, many people, including myself, have a tuning pedal which you can essentially bypass, and you, you engage it when you wanna tune. Why can't that draw... I, I think it should be relatively straightforward, but who knows? But either way, all I need is just a heads-up. I don't need like a, "You have, you know, 16% left," or, "You have 2.67 hours left." I just need to know that it's not gonna fail me at this most critical time. Like, just tell me to swap it. That's all, that's all, that's all you have to say. Yeah. Just tell me to swap it. So I'm sure it's more complicated than this, but I think it might be a matter of, of beauty over function and purpose- Maybe ... because-  [00:24:33] Tony Arsenal: Yeah.  [00:24:34] Jesse Schwamb: Yeah, that's probably- Many, many are particular about that kind of thing Yeah. So anyway- Yeah ... yeah, I, that's maybe... I like what you said, Tony. It's maybe a good PSA. Like, change your batteries often and frequently. Don't be like me. Don't be in that position where all of a sudden, I remember I was leading some very acoustic worship on an evening service. It was a very full congregation, probably, like, 200 people. And, uh, we finished up, and somebody had to yell out, uh, "We can't hear your guitar at all." And I'm just up there playing. [00:25:01] Tony Arsenal: Ugh.  [00:25:01] Jesse Schwamb: And yeah. You know, it's distracting. It's one of those things. But-  [00:25:04] Tony Arsenal: Yeah ...  [00:25:05] Jesse Schwamb: um, in the end... Uh, ironically, some people at the end of that were like, "Well, that was really great. It was much better than usual. We heard a lot less guitar." And I was like- ... "Okay."  [00:25:14] Tony Arsenal: My, um, my Ibanez, I never used it, but my Ibanez has an XLR cable in addition to the quarter-inch- Oh and the XLR provides power to the preamp. So that's- See, there you go ... the real solution is just to have a direct XLR, uh, XLR mic cable that goes in, uh, and then you bypass the direct box. Although then you can't, then you can't go into a tuner or pedal. Yes. So-  [00:25:33] Jesse Schwamb: Exactly ...  [00:25:34] Tony Arsenal: pros and cons. Yeah. But-  [00:25:35] Jesse Schwamb: Yeah. It go- it, it, it's all over the place. But let, let's talk about- Yes ... judgment, shall we? Like, what, what-  [00:25:41] Tony Arsenal: Welcome, welcome to the Reformed Guitar Cast for the  [00:25:43] Jesse Schwamb: night. Yes. E- exactly. We could talk all day about books, reading, reading plans, study plans, productivity, and guitars. These are all beautiful things. And  [00:25:51] Tony Arsenal: batteries and  [00:25:52] Jesse Schwamb: electrics. And batteries. Of which, uh, allegedly you can ha- never have enough of any of those things in that group.  [00:25:57] Tony Arsenal: It's true.  [00:25:58] Back To Matthew 25 Reading [00:25:58] Jesse Schwamb: But let's talk about, uh, judgment. And I suppose we should go back to Matthew 25, which we've been hanging out in quite a bit. And someday we'll move out of this passage. Pro- probably not today, but someday- we will actually get beyond it. And I, I know, I know we're 25 minutes in, but I am gonna read again for all of us because Tony and I, you have been resolute in saying that the best parts of our conversations really are the scripture, hearing them and going through them with great depth and a deliberate kind of measured slowness, which we're unapologetic for. And so let's just go to Matthew 25. I'm gonna read verses 31 through 46 with a f- a fair amount of speed, but enough to get us to the place where again, I just want this to be familiar as we speak about it. "But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them one from another as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom which has been prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me in, naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.' Then the righteous will answer him saying, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? And when did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?" And the King will answer and say to them, "Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brethren of mine, even the least of them, you did it to me." Then he will also say to those on his left, "Depart from me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink. I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me." Then they themselves also will answer saying, "Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not take care of you?" Then he will answer them saying, "Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these, least of these, you did not do it to me." And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous unto eternal life  [00:28:27] Tony Arsenal: Yeah.  [00:28:29] Heavy Passage Rightly Used [00:28:29] Tony Arsenal: Like we said last week, this is a really kinda heavy passage. Um, and it can be, uh... Let me put it this way. It can be used to make, uh, believers fearful in the wrong way. I, I do think the, the passage is to instill fear of God and is inst- to drive us to good works. But it can be used in a way to sort of, as I mentioned last week, it can be used in a way to sort of say, "If you don't do all these good things and you don't measure up, then Jesus never knew you." Um, and, and it implies, or sometimes even fully says that, uh, Jesus comes to know us because of the good works that we do. Right. Right? And that's just not, um, that's just not Christian theology. That's not Reformed theology certainly. Um, it's, it's not Protestant theology, and it's not even really Roman Catholic theology down. Um, but this passage really is more about understanding what marks the life of a person who has already come to faith in Christ. That's right.  [00:29:30] Justification Not Two Stage [00:29:37] Tony Arsenal: What marks the life of someone who has been changed and transformed, uh, to be like their master, like their king. Um, so, so this passage doesn't try to teach us what we have to do to merit eternal life. Um, this isn't... A- and maybe we'll get into some of this, I don't know if we will or not, but this isn't sort of John Piper future justification, um, you know, on the basis of works, or future sa- salvation on the basis of works. Um, there's no two stages to justification, right? If we're justified, it's because Christ has imputed his righteousness to us. That's right. And what happens in the, in the final judgment, there's a real thing that happens, but it's not an assessment of whether or not we have done enough or been enough. It's the reassertion of the righteousness of Christ over us. So we'll, we'll get into that, we'll talk about it, but I wanted to make sure we set the frame for that, um, before we get into it. 'Cause sometimes when you talk about these passages, it's hard to talk about future judgment according to works, which is a genuine Christian reality, right? There's a future judgment according to works. But it's hard to talk about that without starting to sound a little bit like we're, we're earning our salvation or, like, our, our justification's in, like, sort of a second stage of review or something like that. So we'll, we'll get into that, but this is not, this is not works righteousness, this is not future justification, this is two stages of justification. [00:30:52] Jesse Schwamb: And that seems, like, very clear from the way that Jesus sets this whole up. The language is so beautifully gospelly centered and oriented.  [00:31:00] Inheritance Not Wages [00:31:00] Jesse Schwamb: Even behind the judgment, like, this curtain of judgment, when you, when you open it up, is the gospel in all of its fullness, and that begins with th- this idea of inheriting the kingdom. And inheritance, of course, is not wages. In fact, like, Paul makes this kind of, like, identical move in Romans 8 and in Galatians 4 where he basically emphasizes what Jesus is talking about here. That is, sons and daughters inherit, inherit. They don't earn a paycheck. An heir receives by virtue of relationship and not performance. And that single word is, I think in the judgment of, like, most of the Reformed understanding here, decisive for, like, reading this whole passage correctly. That whatever role these works mention in verses 35 and 36 play, they cannot be meritorious works. It's not the ground of the inheritance, because inheritances by definition are not earned. Yeah.  [00:31:51] Election Before Works [00:31:51] Jesse Schwamb: And then, like, right into the same kind of train of thought, the same line of reasoning, is this idea that, well, not only are you inheriting the kingdom, but all this was prepared for you before the foundation of the world. And here again is, like, the beautiful gospel in the form of this un- you know, eternal, like, unconditional election stated, like, very plainly. Now the kingdom isn't pr- w- was not prepared in response to, like, some kind of foreseen works. I think we talked about that last week, right? Did we talk about the cor- looking down the corridor, all that kind of weird stuff? Yeah.  [00:32:22] Tony Arsenal: Yep.  [00:32:23] Jesse Schwamb: It was prepared in eternity past before any works, like good or bad, had been performed by anyone. And so that's, like, the true answer, in my opinion, to, like, any Pelagian or semi-Pelagian reading of this passage. The deepest cause of the sheep's blessedness long predates their deeds of mercy, and so their works are downstream of election and grace, not upstream of it. That's really good news. Like, that again is the Gospel, that all things are entrusted to, belong to God. God does all the verbs. However you want to say it, what we have here is true grace, and that their works are flowing out of that grace. And so because of that, there's no... It's, like, it would be insanity to boast in them, because that boasting would mean absolutely nothing. And so Jesus sidesteps that altogether by talking about inheriting the kingdom and having this all prepared for us before the foundation of the world. [00:33:15] Tony Arsenal: Yeah.  [00:33:15] Kingdom Language Clues [00:33:15] Tony Arsenal: Yeah, and there's some interesting, um, I think some interesting text feature that I just noticed here that, um, I don't wanna read too much into it, but one of the things that's striking about this is the, the language around the sheep or around those on the, um, on the right of the king here. Um, there's much more of a communal, um, kingdom-type language, right? Uh, in the first section where it's talking about those on the right, uh, the word king is used repeatedly.  [00:33:45] Jesse Schwamb: Right.  [00:33:45] Tony Arsenal: Right? And then when you get to the second section on those on the left, the ones that the, the, the righteous son of man does not know, um, it doesn't use the word king. And that's not, of course, not to say that he's not the king of those who are, you know, condemned. He's the king of all. But there is this, this, uh, obviously intentional, uh, choice to use the word king, and what, what is a king if not someone who has a kingdom and a people? Exactly. So there, there even baked into that simple linguistic feature is already this idea that the people he's speaking to are his people. And so, like I said, we've talked about parables and parable-adjacent teaching as kind of being sort of systematic language in story form, systematic theology in story form. Even here, we're seeing election, we're seeing definite atonement, right? The people are his people because he prepared this kingdom for them before the foundation of the world. [00:34:42] Jesse Schwamb: Right.  [00:34:42] Tony Arsenal: Um, and then the, the people who aren't his, they don't even get to be associated with him as king. They don't even beg- get to, get to be associated with his kingdom. They're so far outside of the kingdom of heaven, outside of this kingdom, that even to say that the king is speaking to them is almost like, uh, it's almost like a contradiction, right? So, um- In sort of like common parlance, we might refer to another nation's king as King Charles or, you know, K- King whatever, um, or President so-and-so. But that person is not my king. Right. And so although, like, maybe there's some decorum just in general, and, like, politically it's wise, I'd have no obligation to call King Charles King Charles. Like, I can ... I ... He's not my king. I don't owe any obligation of, of fidelity to him or to his title or to his crown. Another funny example, um, recently, um, you know, I work, uh, at a hospital. We have a spiritual health or chaplaincy department, and there's some Catholic priests who are on staff there. And, um, the, the spiritual health department is part of the care experience group, which is the same group that my patient relations team is part of. And some- someone noticed that at, like, broader team group meetings, I don't refer to them as Father. I'm one of the only people in the room who just says Joakim or, you know, or Sam. Like, I don't ... And they don't mind. It doesn't bother them at all.  [00:36:03] Jesse Schwamb: Right.  [00:36:04] Tony Arsenal: Um, and it's funny because someone asked me that, and I'm like, "Well, they're not my priest, and I, like, I don't acknowledge- Right their status as the Father. Like, there's actually some biblical reasons why I wouldn't do that." I think this is kind of sort of almost like, in a third person perspective, kind of the same thing. Like, the k- king, i- the, the Gospel writer here, Matt, is refusing to use the word king in relation to this Son of Man in relation to these people to say something about them, to say something about those people- Yes who are outside of the kingdom  [00:36:34] Jesse Schwamb: Yes, that's right on. It's a bit like, I suppose, in a, a lesser way, like there was a time... So you're married to my sister. There was a time where you weren't, we weren't Yeah ... uh, and during that time, like I, I was not in your family, nor were you in mine.  [00:36:48] Tony Arsenal: Right.  [00:36:48] Jesse Schwamb: And then at, when you married her, I am part of your family. Like you can't kick me out. As long as you're married to Ashley, I will be part of your family and you part of mine. Right. That's how it works. And so that identity proceeds, like it c- this is like confusion between identity sometimes and I think like harmony, and so many people wanna read this as like some kind of like harmonic reflection of the state of obedience of these persons, and therefore, if they had harmony, then they were in the kingdom, and that's getting it backwards. That they were part of God's kingdom by his family by definition of identity.  [00:37:20] Surprised Righteous Hearts [00:37:20] Jesse Schwamb: So that by the time like we get to verse 37 when Jesus is saying the, the righteous are gonna answer him and they're gonna say, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?" I think that's one of the most like theologically important verses in this passage, which proves the point you just made. And I think it's often under-read because the righteous, they don't remember doing any of these things for Christ. They are surprised. They have like no self-conscious ledger of merit that they can point to, and that surprise I think is devastating to works righteousness reading of the passage because- Yes if these people were consciously stacking up merit to present at the judgment, then they would've kept a very careful account. But instead, their works flowed so naturally and unselfconsciously from a renewed heart that they scarcely remembered them, let alone like regarded them as currency for salvation. And so I think, I know there's been a lot written, you and I have talked about a lot about how people wanna parse this idea of works, understanding that it has some place, but what is that proper place? This I think does lead us into like the right focus in that kind of discussion because it's precisely what like the Reformed doctrine of sanctification would predict, and that is, you know, truly gracious affections I think issue in Christian practice as a reliable sign, hear me out here, but crucially that practice is not calculated or like self-res- referential. It's like the spontaneous fruit of transformed nature, as natural it is for a good tree to bring forth good fruit. And so the righteous in this passage, they're not the legalists that some would, I think, portray them to be or get worried that they are. They're not tallying good deeds. They're simply people who, having been made new, and who makes them new? God in Christ, right, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Because they've been made new, they just could not help but love their neighbor.  [00:39:13] Tony Arsenal: Yeah.  [00:39:13] Sheep And Goats Identity [00:39:13] Tony Arsenal: Yeah, and, and you know, I think it's sometimes hard... We, we made the point last week that, um, the, the language in verse 32 where it says, uh, "He," He being the Son of Man, "He will separate one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats," that, that comparative as is the same language that introduces other parables. Right. And so the, the parable, parabolic element of this is a comparison to a shepherd separating two different kinds of animals in his, his bigger flock. Mm-hmm. I made the point that like we should be careful to overread sort of like what sheep are like into the behavior of those who are righteous on the right of Christ here. Um, because sheep are dumb, sheep do stupid things, sheep are disobedient. There, there's no use for like sheep to do good things and goats are not. And productive goats are also productive. Um, so what we should see though is that sheep are put on the right side because they are sheep, and goats are put on the, the left side because they are goats. Um, not because they act like sheep or because they act like goats, right? And so I think, yes, goats and sheep may have thinked behavioral, recognizable behavioral characteristics, but those characteristics flow from what they are. They don't make them what they are.  [00:40:35] Jesse Schwamb: That's right.  [00:40:35] Tony Arsenal: And so I think that's kind of what we see here in the parable, is the people on the, the right, the righteous on the right hand of the, the Son here, of the King as He sits on His glorious throne, the righteous simply do what righteous people do, right? They, they don't ... So much so, and again I think the shock of this is, is sort of the, the path of the teaching. The shock of this, the surprise of this on the part of the righteous are, uh, like it's palpable. And I think that when you actually talk to someone who is ... Think of the most sanctified, holy, righteous Christian you know, right? And I'm not gonna try to tell you who that is, but think of that person and think of a time that you have paid them a compliment or thanked them for doing the right thing.  [00:41:24] Jesse Schwamb: Right.  [00:41:24] Tony Arsenal: They're like, "Oh, I didn't even think about that." Like, it's just not even on, not even on their radar. How many times have you, um, have you done a kind thing for someone at work and they like make a big deal out of it and you're like, "Oh, this is just I thought this is just what we do to each other. I thought we were just kind to each other." Um, and, and f- the flip side of this too is the, uh, the righteous in this parable or in this teaching, they're actually sort of like questioning the Lord's judgment in that they're saying like, "Wait a second, like w- why am I on the right here?" And He's like, "Well, uh, you were h- I was hungry and you fed me, and I, you know, I was thirsty and you gave me drink." And they're like, "When did we do that?" The flip side- Right ... of that is that those on the left, they're trying to justify themselves, right? They're trying to justify themselves, 'cause He's like, "Well, you didn't do these things. You're not my people." And they're like, "Well, when did we see you? When did we see you, when did you have these things happen and we didn't take care of it?" So the, the righteous are like surprised that this happened, and are almost questioning the fact that it's true, and the unrighteous are trying to justify themselves, basically blaming God. Bad judgment. It's not altogether, um... I forget which pro- I wanna say Micah or Malachi, one of those two, um, um, where the, the, um, God basically says, like, "Y- you, you're sinful people." And they're like, "When? When were we sinful people? Like, you tell me." Yeah. And then of course he does, 'cause it's the prophets. Right. But it's the same kind of thing. He comes to the, to the unrighteous in judgment. He says, "Depart from me, y- you cursed people." And then he says, "These are the, these are the things that have marked your life." And then they're like, "Where, when did that mark my life? Like, what are you talking about?" And he, he, the funny part is he doesn't give them an answer. He doesn't explain to them really. Right. He, he just like, "No, you can go, you can go away from me 'cause you." He does say like, "Well, you never, you did not do this to the least of these," and we, we need to unpack that phrase a little bit. But he doesn't give a long explanation to them justifying his judgment. He just makes the statement, basically makes the statement again, "You just didn't do it, so that's the consequence of eternal punishment." Um, again, not in like, "You didn't feed the poor, therefore you're going to hell" kind of a statement. It's more like, "You are not the kind of person that is a, a part of my kingdom." [00:43:48] Jesse Schwamb: Right.  [00:43:49] Tony Arsenal: Without necessarily a firm statement about w- how that came to be, just a statement, "You are not the kind of person that is part of my kingdom." That's  [00:43:56] Jesse Schwamb: right. That's right. I think that's actually very evident in these, like, six concrete works of mercy which are listed, feeding, giving drink, hospitality to strangers, clothing, visiting the sick, uh, visiting the imprisoned. And as we've said before, those are not extraordinary feats. I mean, there's no mention- Right ... of miracles or doctrinal precision or heroic martyrdom. Yeah. It's just these ordinary, super unglamorous ministry of practical love, and I think that is significant, like you're saying, because it is a mark of true faith, this idea that it's found frequently not in spectacular religious performance, which is what some of the audience is probably after, honestly, but in this quiet but costly unnoticed compassion. And I think that is critical to understanding that those who have been identified and marked by Christ undertake these things with a seriousness, under being willing to bear the c- the cross and the curses and the cost of all those things, uh, because it is born out of a transformed life, one that has been re-identified almost as it were a new creation. And so that- Yeah ... created man does these things without putting the notches on the belts, so to speak, to tally them up because I think to that person that would be insane. What is the purpose of doing that? If I can't earn my salvation, I'm doing these things anyway. It, it wouldn't even matter. It's like trying to pay a bill that you have no money for anyway. Why would you then try to count the dollars that you have in your pocket to see if for some reason you could cover the cost? It's impossible. Yeah. And so everything changes to such a degree that I know we keep saying, like, surprised, and that is what is kind of manifested in the passage. But it's, it's not kind of like the shock of like, "I don't know what you're talking about." It's more, it's more this idea of, again, I think those being brought forward at the final judgment, and it's almost as if Jesus is saying, "You are coming into this kingdom- Because, or you are being, uh, allowed, so to speak, to come into my presence in the fullness because you did all those things. And their surprise is almost as to say, "Well, why would those things bring me into the fullness if I've, in fact, have inherited it because you've called me your own?" Does that make sense? Like, I think it's- Yeah ... there's a little bit gone there- Yeah ... that's not just they're kind of like, "Oh, this slipped my mind," or, uh, "It came so easy to me that I didn't even know I was doing it." I think it was more about the g- we should just get to the least of these then, right? Like, what does it mean- Yeah that they did these to the least of these, and how does that surprise fit into that?  [00:46:19] Tony Arsenal: Yeah.  [00:46:20] Least Of These Explained [00:46:20] Tony Arsenal: The other element of this that I think is super important for us to cover in the 10 minutes or so we have left. Um, this phrase, "the least of these," right? Yes. And, and this, this can really cause this passage to be misunderstood  Um, I wanna s- loud and clear, uh, taking care of the poor in our society, you know, mercy ministries outside of the church, those things are all good, and I think scripture makes an argument that we should be engaged in those, both individually and also that the church has an obligation to, um, to meet some practical needs of those who are destitute around it. Um, but that's not what this passage is saying, right? Right. So when we look at the phrase "the least" first, first thing that, that comes off here, right, in verse 40 where this phrase first appears, "Truly I say to you, as you did it to the least of these, my brothers, you did it to me." Right? This is not a general statement. The least of these are not, like, the lowest and meekest and poorest of the world. The least of these my brothers referring to those who belong to Christ. Right. Those who are related to me. And, and I actually think that that, that is probably, like, the hallmark of passage. Beyond, um, what we've talked about already of just sort of like not being about works righteousness, this is really about being a part of the church, right? They're marked by the fact that they have inherited this kingdom which was prepared for them before the foundation of the world. They're marked by the fact that, uh, they are the people of this king, so much so that the other people aren't e- the word king can't even appear in association with these other people. And this last part, they're marked by the way they have treated those in whom they are with c- in, in community with, right? They're marked by the way they have treated those who are related to the king by blood, who are adopted, who are married to the king, who are in, in the family of the king, his brothers. [00:48:17] Jesse Schwamb: Yeah. Okay.  [00:48:18] Tony Arsenal: So this is painting a picture of kind of what we see, right? W- we see in, uh, Galatians, right? Um, "Do, do good to all people, especially the household of faith." Mm-hmm. Right? Uh, our own tagline, "Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood," right? That's, that's a statement of like, yes, you're supposed to be kind to all people, but you're especially supposed to be kind and be committed to and taking care of those who are in the household of faith, who are in the church. That is what this passage is about. That is what marks those people who belong to the king. The sheep are part of the sh- part of the sheep because they're in that same flock, because they- Right ... are ontologically, they've been made new and they've been renewed into this new creation as sheep. Um, that's what this passage is getting at. And then the people who, uh, who are not a part of that, they, they have not done anything with the church. They're not associated with the church. They didn't take care of the church. They didn't, they didn't feed the church. They didn't do anything with that. And this, this again, like, think about, like, Acts chapter, you know, when, when, um, when Paul is, when Saul is called by Christ, right? "When did I persecute you?" "Well, you, why are you persecuting me, Saul? Well, you persecuted my people." So this, this passage ties a lot of those same s- same threads together- Yeah ... in a way that I think presents this really cohesive picture of what it is that's going on. This is not works righteousness. Right. [00:49:37] Serving Christ In Church [00:49:37] Tony Arsenal: This is an assessment of the fact that you are, in fact, a m- a member of the people of God, that you have been engrafted into Christ and have become a part of his body. And just as he is our head, we are his body. The people who are cast out, the reason he never knew them is 'cause they've never been engrafted into him. [00:49:55] Jesse Schwamb: Right. Sometimes this does, I think, get read and defined as, like, the all the poor and suffering writ large, which is helpful, but I don't think, like, the dominant view here, at least in my perspective. And you, and you tell me otherwise. Yeah. Because, uh, on this view, of course, like, Christ does identify with all who suffer, and that maybe mercy to any sufferer is mercy to him. I think that could be partly correct, part reflection and application here. However, the stronger view, I think, e- like, even historically, is that- Really we're talking about, especially when we get to, like, visiting those in prison, the, the persecuted or itinerant Christian missionary. When we're talking about the imprisonment and persecution language is, that especially suits believers suffering for the gospel's sake, not merely the poor in general. Now, is, are there ways for us as Christians to embody the gospel and to be a witness for Christ by going out and performing acts of social justice? I would say yes, if you connect those items explicitly to the gospel. That is, that you make it clear your emphasis, genesis, your volition comes through this message of who Christ is. Otherwise, there's plenty of institutions doing very good things, and I don't necessarily, what's in view here i

What Equipment Do I Need For A Podcast? Starting a podcast can be an exciting venture, but one of the biggest hurdles for many aspiring podcasters is deciding what equipment to buy. In this post, we'll break down some essential gear recommendations, from good to better to best, to help you kickstart your podcasting journey with confidence. The Essential Podcast Equipment When you're starting a podcast, the first piece of equipment you'll need is a microphone. It's crucial to choose a quality microphone to ensure your audio is clear and professional. Here are my recommendations: Microphones for Podcasting: Good: Samson Q2U The Samson Q2U microphone is a versatile option for new podcasters. It typically retails between $50 and $70 and features both XLR and USB connectivity, allowing you to use it with various setups. This dynamic microphone delivers great sound as long as you're close to it. Better: Shure MV7 For those willing to invest a bit more, the Shure MV7 is an excellent choice, priced around $250 to $300. This microphone offers multiple connection options and comes with an app that allows you to customize your audio settings, ensuring high-quality sound. Best: Shure SM7B If you're serious about podcasting and willing to invest in top-tier equipment, the Shure SM7B is my top recommendation. Priced at about $400, this microphone has been used in professional studios by artists like Michael Jackson and Eminem. However, it requires an interface to connect to your computer. Headphones for Podcasting You might wonder why you need headphones for podcasting. They are essential for monitoring your audio and ensuring everything sounds right during recording. Here are my recommendations: Good: AirPods While not ideal, if you already have AirPods, they can work in a pinch. Just be cautious about potential Bluetooth connectivity issues. Better: Wired Headphones Wired headphones are more reliable than Bluetooth options. Look for any standard wired headphones that plug into your device, as they provide a consistent audio experience. Best: Audio-Technica ATH-M40X For the best audio monitoring experience, I recommend the Audio-Technica ATH-M40X. These headphones provide true-to-audio sound, allowing you to catch imperfections in your recordings. Video Equipment for Podcasting If your podcast includes video, you'll need a decent webcam or camera. Here are the options: Good: Laptop Camera If your laptop has a newer camera, ensure it records in 1080p resolution. Avoid using older 720p cameras, as they won't deliver quality visuals on larger screens. Better: Logitech Brio The Logitech Brio webcam is a solid choice, offering 1080p resolution and easy USB connectivity for around $100. Best: Digital SLR Camera Investing in a digital SLR camera, like a Sony or even using a high-quality smartphone, will give you stunning 4K visuals, but be mindful of your storage capacity. Recording Devices Choosing the right recording device is vital. Here's what I recommend: Good: Focusrite Scarlett Solo The Focusrite Scarlett Solo is a reliable option for beginners, allowing you to connect your microphone via XLR and record directly to your computer. Better: Zoom PodTrak P4 Next The Zoom PodTrak P4 Next is an advanced solution with multiple microphone inputs and AI noise reduction features, perfect for group recordings. Best: Rodecaster Pro II For serious podcasters, the Rodecaster Pro II is a top-of-the-line option with multiple inputs and advanced features for seamless recording. Software: I am a referral partner of Riverside – an all-in-one platform that records audio and video, features a text-based editor, and a number of other enhancements from recording to publication. Here is my referral link.  Conclusion Starting your podcasting journey doesn't have to be overwhelming. By choosing the right equipment from these recommendations—whether it's microphones, headphones, webcams, or recording devices—you'll set yourself up for success. Remember, the best gear for you depends on your budget and the quality you're aiming for.

At the time of writing in mid-June, the uncertainties of the on-again, off-again conflict in the Middle East are playing havoc with fuel prices as the industry braces itself for a possible shortage, one that might affect Europe most acutely. But there is more to the problem than reduced supply. In fact, as Avfuel's Director of Trading and Logistics, Muneeb Ahmed explains in his revealing article, the Strait of Hormuz crisis can teach business aviation how fuel markets really work. Fuel prices, he says, are not a simple reflection of supply conditions, but the product of a global system that's constantly processing information, evaluating risk and responding to uncertainty. Opinions vary on whether cancellation of the 2026 edition of the long-running European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition – EBACE – event was expected. Either way, its demise has not kept your editor away from real aeroplanes, with Textron's splendid Citation Ascend and a spectacular array of Gulfstreams making their way into this edition. The Ascend impressed through its attention to detail, while the Gulfstreams won through on sheer presence. In this summer 2026 EVA, we also look at European airports and FBOs, including Riviera Airport, a recent addition to the Sky Valet Connect network. Finnish FBOs Jetflite and ScandiAvia also feature, alongside the UK's XLR Jet Centres. XLR works in partnership with Saxon Air at the latter's Norwich Airport FBO, supporting the burgeoning company's jet and helicopter fleets. These past few months have seen a rapid expansion in Saxon's helicopter management and charter operations, yet Miles Riches, Head of Rotary Sales at the UK operator, says he is keen to add just a few more aircraft to the fleet. Aircraft management, especially for long-range jets, is also the primary business of Malta's Skyfirst. A powerful industry advocate, Skyfirst CEO and founder Olivier Perdriel is also outspoken on Europe's profligate regulations and taxes, a bundle of red tape that he fears is damaging the industry. KlasJet, meanwhile, as revealed by CEO Justinas Bulka, is patiently working with the FAA as it looks to expand its VIP Boeing 737 operations in the US. Finally, thanks to the splendid folk at Phillips 66, we are thrilled to present the story of Bighorn Airways, an organisation born out of the desire to fly and a love for aviation, according to Director of FBO Services Penny Rader. Based at Sheridan County Airport, Wyoming, the company evolved from a 1940s crop-spraying outfit and today flies wildfire response operations alongside its FBO and maintenance operations. Bighorn encapsulates the complexity, flexibility and variety that characterise business aviation, and we hope you love its story too.

Most podcasters spend far too much time searching for the perfect microphone and not nearly enough time recording. As a podcast coach, one of the questions I get asked most often is, "What microphone should I buy?" So every year, I revisit my recommendations, check the latest reviews, and see if there's a new microphone that's changed everything. Spoiler alert: not much has changed. In this episode, I break down the microphones I recommend most often, explain why dynamic microphones outperform condenser microphones for most podcasters, and help you decide whether USB or XLR is the right fit for your setup. You'll learn: • Why I recommend dynamic microphones for 99% of podcasters • Why the Blue Yeti is not my microphone of choice • The pros and cons of USB vs XLR microphones • My top microphone recommendations for beginners, intermediate podcasters, and advanced setups • Why microphone technique matters more than microphone price • The simple advice that could save you months of microphone research Featured Microphones: • Samson Q2U • Audio-Technica ATR2100x • Shure MV7+ • Electro-Voice RE320 (Pat McAfee mic) • Shure SM7B  (Joe Rogan mic) If you've been stuck comparing microphones instead of starting your podcast, this episode is for you. Listen now and escape the research rabbit hole because your listener doesn't care what microphone you use. They care whether you show up, whether you serve them, and whether what you have to say makes a difference in their lives.

1377. El Rode PodMic USB se ha convertido en mi nuevo objetivo de Ko-fi para seguir mejorando mi equipo de grabación y, sinceramente, creo que este episodio sirve también para reflexionar sobre algo que olvidamos dentro del podcasting: el desgaste real del material cuando lo utilizas prácticamente todos los días. En esta entrega os cuento cómo mi Shure MV7, un micrófono que me habéis ayudado a conseguir hace ya cuatro años, está empezando a dar señales bastante claras de cansancio, sobre todo por la conexión USB. Y claro, cuando grabas un podcast diario, trabajas con clientes y además dependes de ese equipo para tu día a día profesional, cualquier pequeño fallo acaba convirtiéndose en un auténtico dolor de cabeza. Lo curioso es que el micrófono sigue funcionando perfectamente por XLR, pero la parte USB comienza a hacer cosas raras. A veces el ordenador no lo detecta, otras sí, otras conecta y desconecta solo… y claro, llega un punto en el que tienes que empezar a plantearte si merece la pena seguir peleándote con ello o buscar una alternativa antes de que falle definitivamente en mitad de una grabación importante. Y ahí es donde entra el Rode PodMic USB, un micrófono que llevo tiempo mirando precisamente porque mantiene esa dualidad que tanto recomiendo siempre: conexión USB y conexión XLR en un mismo dispositivo. Para mi forma de trabajar eso es prácticamente perfecto porque me permite grabar directamente desde el ordenador cuando hago episodios diarios en solitario y al mismo tiempo integrarlo dentro de la Rodecaster Duo cuando trabajo con clientes o necesito hacer grabaciones más complejas. Además, reconozco que hay una parte casi absurda pero tremendamente satisfactoria en todo esto: abandonar por fin el micro USB y pasarme completamente al USB-C. Realmente es una tontería, pero después de años buscando cables micro USB largos, intentando enchufarlos del derecho o del revés y peleándome con conexiones obsoletas, sinceramente, creo que ya tocaba actualizar esa parte de mi equipo de grabación. También aprovecho el episodio para agradecer nuevamente todo el apoyo que habéis dado al proyecto durante estos años porque tanto este nuevo objetivo como otros anteriores, como las propias Rodecaster de EOVE Productora, han sido posibles gracias a las aportaciones de Ko-fi y a toda la gente que decide apoyar económicamente este metapodcast diario. Y es curioso porque muchas veces hablamos de grandes cifras, de grandes estudios o de setups espectaculares, pero la realidad es que muchas mejoras dentro del podcasting llegan simplemente solucionando pequeños problemas del día a día. En mi caso, tener un micrófono más cómodo, moderno y compatible con mi flujo de trabajo probablemente me ahorre muchísimos dolores de cabeza en los próximos años. Así que ahora comienza un nuevo pequeño reto: alcanzar esos 180 euros que cuesta el Rode PodMic USB y seguir mejorando poco a poco este estudio desde el que llevo ya tantos años hablando cada día de podcasting, herramientas, experiencias y todo lo que rodea este mundo que tanto me gusta.Podéis sumaros al KoFi y ayudarme a conseguir el Rode PodMic USB entrando en este enlace: http://alotroladodelmicrofono.com/cafeSi queréis conocer todos los detalles, o incluso comprar vuestro propio Rode PodMic USB, podéis usar mi enlace de afiliados de Amazon: https://amzn.to/3PzXaEF_____________El sábado 30 de mayo, la Sala Cooltural del Hotel DormirDCine Madrid acogerá la 3ª edición de Podnights Madrid 2026 en la que el podcast ‘¿Cómo ye la tu movida?' repetirá por cuarto año consecutivo.Tienes toda la info y entradas en este enlace https://www.eventbrite.es/e/entradas-como-ye-la-tu-movida-en-podnights-madrid-1987453018479_____________ ¡Gracias por pasarte 'Al otro lado del micrófono' un día más para seguir aprendiendo sobre podcasting!

Make a Logo on Fiverr Blackmagic Brings Fairlight Into the Live Audio World Blackmagic Design has been steadily building Fairlight into its larger production ecosystem, and at NAB 2026, the company showed off a major step forward: Blackmagic Fairlight Live, a standalone audio mixing system built for live production. Fairlight has long been known as the audio engine inside DaVinci Resolve, giving editors and post-production teams tools for mixing, EQ, compression, gating and audio cleanup. But this new version pulls Fairlight out of Resolve and gives it a dedicated live workflow, designed for people who need to mix audio during events, broadcasts, houses of worship, livestreams and video productions. It Looks Like a Console, But the Mac Does the Heavy Lifting The big thing to understand about Blackmagic Fairlight Live is that the hardware panel is a controller. The actual processing runs on a computer, with Blackmagic showing the system running through a Mac at NAB. That means the console itself is not a traditional all-in-one audio mixer with every input and output built directly into the back. Instead, your audio I/O connects through the computer using interfaces, virtual sound cards or networked audio workflows. The Fairlight Live panel then gives you hands-on control of the mix. That approach may feel different from a traditional soundboard, but it also makes the system more flexible. If your venue already has audio running over Ethernet, Dante Virtual Soundcard, AES, USB, Thunderbolt or another digital audio interface, Fairlight Live can fit into that existing setup without requiring a completely new wiring plan. Built for ATEM and Blackmagic Video Workflows While Fairlight Live can operate as a standalone audio mixer, Blackmagic is clearly positioning it as part of a larger live production chain. The system can pair with ATEM switchers, allowing a dedicated audio operator to control audio separately from the video switcher. That could be a big advantage for churches, live music venues, schools, conference rooms and production teams already using Blackmagic ATEM hardware. Instead of forcing one person to manage both video switching and audio control from the same panel, Fairlight Live gives the audio side its own dedicated surface. 10, 20 and 40 Channel Panels Blackmagic showed multiple Fairlight Live hardware options at NAB, including 10-channel, 20-channel and 40-channel panels. The larger models include multiple screens, giving operators direct access to processing tools and master controls. Those screens can show channel strips, EQ, compression, gates, expanders and other controls, making it feel closer to a traditional digital mixing console. Multiple banks also allow users to layer deeper channel counts beyond the physical faders in front of them. Plugins, Effects and Live Processing Because Fairlight Live runs its processing on the computer, the available CPU power matters. Blackmagic suggested that a newer Mac mini would be a professional baseline, while something like a Mac Studio would offer far more headroom. The system supports the same kind of audio processing users may already know from DaVinci Resolve's Fairlight page. That includes Blackmagic's built-in effects as well as AU and VST plugins from third-party manufacturers. For live production, that means common tools like reverb, delay, EQ and dynamics processing should be available inside the Fairlight workflow. More demanding plugins could introduce latency, so the computer and plugin choices will matter for larger productions. A Possible Replacement for Traditional Live Soundboards For venues already using compact digital mixers, Blackmagic audio workflows could become a serious option. Fairlight Live is designed to replace a traditional soundboard, but with one important caveat: you still need a computer and an audio interface or network audio system to bring signals in and out. The back of the panel includes features like XLR talkback inputs, XLR monitor outputs, Ethernet connections and USB for updates. But the main audio I/O is handled outside the console. That makes Fairlight Live less like a self-contained mixer and more like a control surface for a computer-based live audio system. Remote Control and Flexible Setups Blackmagic also noted that the system can be controlled remotely, including from an iPad. That opens the door for operators to adjust audio from different locations in a room, stage or production space. For live events, that could be especially useful. A venue could have the main Fairlight Live surface at front of house, while another operator or technician checks levels from another position. Release Timing and Platform Support At NAB 2026, Blackmagic said the Fairlight Live software beta was already available on its website, and the hardware panels were expected around the July to August timeframe. The system was shown running on Mac, and while Blackmagic's broader software ecosystem often supports Mac, Windows and Linux, the final platform support for Fairlight Live was still being worked on at the time of the NAB demo. Why Fairlight Live Matters The biggest takeaway is that Blackmagic Fairlight Live brings Blackmagic's audio tools into the same live production conversation as ATEM switchers, 2110 workflows and modern networked production systems. For creators, venues and live production teams already using Blackmagic gear, this could become a more integrated way to manage blackmagic audio without relying on a separate traditional console. It is not just an audio mixer in the old-school sense. It is a computer-powered, software-driven live mixing system with dedicated hardware control — and for Blackmagic users, that could make Fairlight Live one of the most interesting NAB 2026 announcements.

Make a Logo on Fiverr Telycam's Mix One looks like the kind of production tool built for creators who need to move fast, pack light and still run a serious multi-camera show. Shown at NAB 2026, the Telycam Mix One combines a video switcher, touchscreen control surface and PTZ joystick into one portable unit aimed at live streamers, event producers, houses of worship, schools and mobile sports crews. The big headline: this is a six camera switcher that does not need a full rack of gear to get started. A Compact Switcher Built for Mobile Production The Telycam Mix One is designed as an all-in-one production console. Instead of carrying a separate switcher, PTZ controller and streaming encoder, this device puts those tools into a single portable box. That matters if you are producing basketball games, football games, presentations, interviews or live events where setup time is limited. The form factor is small enough to fit into a Pelican-style case, making it a practical option for creators who need to get in, connect cameras, produce the show and move on. Six Camera Inputs in One Box The Mix One supports up to six sources, giving producers a lot of flexibility for a portable system. The unit includes two HDMI inputs, two USB inputs and support for network-based video options including SRT, RTMP and NDI-HX3. That gives the Telycam Switcher room to handle traditional cameras, USB video sources and IP-based production workflows. For smaller productions, six cameras is more than enough to cover a wide shot, close-up, scoreboard, host camera, roaming angle and presentation feed. Touchscreen Control With Preview and Program The touchscreen is one of the Mix One's most useful features. You can control the switcher directly from the display using a finger or stylus, with preview and program areas visible on the screen. That makes it easier to see what is ready to go live before switching it to the main output. It also keeps the workflow familiar for anyone who has used a traditional video switcher, while still making the whole system feel more modern and compact. Built-In PTZ Joystick Control The integrated joystick is a major advantage for PTZ camera users. With the joystick, you can move a camera around, adjust framing and control shots from the same device used to switch the show. One smart detail is that PTZ control is tied to the preview side, not the live program feed. That means you can line up your next camera shot before sending it live, helping avoid awkward camera moves being seen by the audience. Streaming and Output Options The Mix One also includes streaming tools, with options for RTMP, SRT and NDI workflows. That gives users multiple ways to send a production out to streaming platforms, remote destinations or network-based video systems. On the back, the unit includes HDMI program outputs, USB connections, XLR microphone input, line in, line out and dual LAN ports. The dual network ports are useful for failover or production setups that need more reliable connectivity. The Mix One can also run on PoE, which reduces the amount of power gear needed on location. For mobile production, fewer cables and fewer power bricks can make a big difference. Computer Companion App Telycam also offers a companion app for computer control. That means the Mix One can be placed off to the side while an operator controls the production from a PC. That flexibility could be useful in venues where the switcher needs to stay near the cameras or network connections, but the producer wants to operate from a more comfortable position. Price and Availability The Telycam Mix One is expected to launch in June with a price of $1,999. For a portable production system that combines a six camera switcher, PTZ joystick, touchscreen interface, streaming tools and multiple input types, that price puts it in an interesting spot for creators and small production teams who want a compact live workflow without building out a larger control rig. First Impression The Telycam Mix One feels like a practical tool for real-world productions. It is not just a switcher. It is a portable control center for multi-camera live video, especially if your workflow already includes PTZ cameras and network-based video. For creators producing sports, events, presentations or on-location streams, this could be a strong all-in-one option. The portability, six-source support, built-in joystick and streaming features make the Telycam mix one worth watching as it gets closer to release.

En este podcast te cuento algo que pensaba que nunca me iba a pasar… se ha roto mi Sony A7 IV en pleno trabajo. Estábamos cubriendo un evento de Champions Burger en Barcelona cuando la cámara empezó a dar error, hizo un ruido rarísimo en el obturador y dejó de funcionar por completo. Y claro, tocó improvisar.Te explico qué pasó, qué error me apareció en pantalla, por qué creo que el problema puede estar en el obturador o en la cortinilla de protección del sensor, y cómo conseguí salvar el trabajo haciendo foto y vídeo híbrido con la Sony FX2.Además, aprovecho para enseñarte el equipo real que usé en el evento:Sony FX2, Sony A7C II, Sony A7 IV, Samyang 35-150mm f/2-2.8, Sony 24-70 GM II, interfaz de audio XLR, micrófono Rode NTG4, filtros Black Mist, luz portátil y hasta la solución que vamos a usar para hacer un plano tipo dron sin dron.También reflexiono sobre algo importante para cualquiera que trabaje en fotografía o vídeo profesional:¿Hay que llevar siempre una cámara de backup?Yo era de los que pensaban que nunca hacía falta… hasta que pasó.Si trabajas en eventos, fotografía lifestyle, vídeo híbrido, bodas, contenido para marcas o creación audiovisual, este episodio te va a interesar mucho porque aquí hablo desde la experiencia real, sin postureo y con lo que de verdad pasa cuando estás en faena.Déjame en comentarios:¿Te ha pasado alguna vez algo parecido con Sony?¿Llevas siempre cámara de respaldo?¿Tienes activada la opción de cerrar la cortinilla al apagar la cámara?#SonyA7IV #SonyFX2 #FotografiaEventos #VideoHibrido #SonyAlpha #ChampionsBurger #PodcastFotografia #ObturadorSony #EquipoAudiovisual #BlackMist**COMPRA EN FOTOK desde este enlace y pon el cupón GABELLIFTK en tu carrito de la compra para llevarte un regalo.WEB FOTOK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fotok.es/?aff=y206⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠___________________WEBS: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.rubengabelli.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fotografodecomida.es⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YOUTUBE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/ft3QEHF ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PATREON: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/RubenGabelli ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM: @rubengabelli

Part 2 of a 2 part series.   Okay, pt 1 turned out to be a backwards episode after all, didn't it (who could've predicted?!) But that doesn't mean that pt 2 has to be that too, right? Maybe pt 2 will be about VGM which uses the fibonacci sequence to reinforce fourier operations in Fortnite. Or maybe a sob story about how a chip shortage on the YM2612 is resulting in poachers hunting and killing Sega Genesis…es… to harvest their YM2612 chips for boutique jewelry.

Special outro music is First time Setup from the Switch 2 - composed by Kazumi Totaka (and might I add, one of the biggest teases in the history of video games for Switch 2 adopters like myself who still missed the music-filled Wii and WiiU system suites and were given a little jolt of false hope by it for the new system).   Here is a link to a document which contains details (and links) on every previous NNR April Fools outing: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K2I0F04kBy4vEAKLAfY3QrIEHVvr9uOIuTJBepoI39c/edit?usp=sharing As well as this link to the spreadsheet I used to plan out these two episodes (apologies for the partially corrupted data. I'm not even sure how that happened). :-D https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sVAx-IQdvs1gXuB0nA7bJX1yepXAx47fTb5Y5GsPNlQ/edit?usp=sharing NOTE: I had intended to pull from not just “St. John” episodes, but from every best-of episode 2019-2025, but ran into my 100 before even getting to the non-St. John episodes. I'll include reversed copies of each mixtape (both used and unused) on this spreadsheet as SUPER BONUSES over on Archive as well as “Backtracks UNBACKED” and “Backtracks - Back-to-Front”. So you can hear everything I heard in the process of putting this together.   Intro and outro recorded on Shure SM7B dynamic microphone running through a Cloudlifter Preamp through the Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB audio interface into a mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Linux.    Pt 1 released simultaneously to Pt 2.

Part 1 of a 2 part series. What's better for a brisk, sunny 1st of April than taking a great big look back at music we featured in the respective “best-of-year-in-review” St. John's Picks episodes from 2019-2025? Definitely not another backwards episode. Nope. No sir. Uhuh. Just six years esion tseb eht fo.

En este vídeo te cuento una verdad incómoda que muchos fotógrafos y videógrafos hemos vivido alguna vez: lo grande, lo aparatoso y lo “cinematográfico” vende, aunque no siempre signifique mejores resultados.Te hablo de mi experiencia real pasando de equipos enormes a cámaras más pequeñas como Fujifilm y Olympus, y de cómo cambió por completo la percepción de los clientes. Ahora, con mi Sony FX2 montada con jaula, monitor, batería V-Mount, matte box, asa XLR y varios accesorios de Smallrig, he vuelto a comprobar algo que sigue siendo una realidad: cuando un cliente ve un equipo enorme, automáticamente lo asocia con profesionalidad.**COMPRA EN FOTOK desde este enlace y pon el cupón GABELLIFTK en tu carrito de la compra para llevarte un regalo.WEB FOTOK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fotok.es/?aff=y206⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠___________________WEBS: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.rubengabelli.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fotografodecomida.es⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YOUTUBE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/ft3QEHF ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PATREON: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/RubenGabelli ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM: @rubengabelli

Buckle up, Dadville, because Matt Maher is in the house, and he's bringing more than just hit worship songs. Ever wondered what happens when you walk into a college radio station, pretend to be Dave Barnes, and realize mid-song that your XLR cables aren't even plugged in?. Or how to survive "The Talk" with a 10-year-old using only tacos and a very necessary, panicked swig of Topo Chico?. We're diving into Matt's Newfoundland roots—where the ocean is actively trying to kill you—and why he spent seven years as a "professional college student". From "Star Wars cantina" radio vibes to the "golden carrot" of the music industry, Matt breaks down why restructuring life around family is the real win. Plus, we tackle the baffling physics of girls' volleyball uniforms and why his daughter is basically a "method actor" for softball. It's a masterclass in joy, resistance, and the visceral terror of letting go of your kid's bike for the first time.

Maono continues to expand its presence in the creator‑focused audio market with new microphones and audio interfaces designed to support flexible recording environments. The company's latest products emphasize hybrid connectivity, simplified monitoring, and durable construction suited for podcasting, streaming, and mobile production. At CES 2026, Maono showcased a lineup that reflects the evolving needs of creators who work across multiple devices and platforms.The company's approach centers on versatility. Many creators record on computers, capture content on mobile devices, and monitor audio through separate systems. Maono's new hardware is designed to bridge these workflows without requiring additional adapters or complex routing.PD200W Hybrid Microphone With Triple ConnectivityThe PD200W hybrid microphone is the centerpiece of Maono's new lineup. It supports simultaneous USB, wireless, and XLR output, allowing the microphone to feed multiple devices at once. This configuration enables creators to record through an audio interface while monitoring through a phone or capturing backup audio on a secondary device. The microphone includes a wireless USB‑C receiver that connects directly to phones or computers, supporting mobile recording without cables.The microphone is built as a dynamic model, eliminating the need for phantom power and supporting use in untreated environments. Its hybrid design allows it to function as a traditional XLR microphone for studio setups while also serving as a portable wireless microphone for on‑the‑go recording. The included table stand supports desktop use, and an optional boom arm provides additional mounting flexibility.P2 Dual‑Input Audio InterfaceMaono also introduced the P2, a dual‑input audio interface designed for creators who need multiple recording paths. The interface includes two XLR inputs with 48‑volt phantom power, supporting both dynamic and condenser microphones. Multiple output options are provided, including left and right monitor outputs, a camera output, a live output, and USB‑C connections for computers and mobile devices. A dedicated USB‑C power port allows the interface to operate without draining a connected phone.The front‑facing controls simplify operation by placing gain knobs, monitoring controls, and headphone volume adjustments within easy reach. This layout mirrors the ergonomics of larger studio mixers, reducing the need to reach around the back of the device during recording sessions.P1 Compact Audio InterfaceThe P1 serves as a smaller companion to the P2, offering a single XLR and quarter‑inch combo input in a compact metal chassis. It is designed for creators who need a portable interface without sacrificing durability.

Maono continues to expand its presence in the creator‑focused audio market with new microphones and audio interfaces designed to support flexible recording environments. The company's latest products emphasize hybrid connectivity, simplified monitoring, and durable construction suited for podcasting, streaming, and mobile production. At CES 2026, Maono showcased a lineup that reflects the evolving needs of creators who work across multiple devices and platforms.The company's approach centers on versatility. Many creators record on computers, capture content on mobile devices, and monitor audio through separate systems. Maono's new hardware is designed to bridge these workflows without requiring additional adapters or complex routing.PD200W Hybrid Microphone With Triple ConnectivityThe PD200W hybrid microphone is the centerpiece of Maono's new lineup. It supports simultaneous USB, wireless, and XLR output, allowing the microphone to feed multiple devices at once. This configuration enables creators to record through an audio interface while monitoring through a phone or capturing backup audio on a secondary device. The microphone includes a wireless USB‑C receiver that connects directly to phones or computers, supporting mobile recording without cables.The microphone is built as a dynamic model, eliminating the need for phantom power and supporting use in untreated environments. Its hybrid design allows it to function as a traditional XLR microphone for studio setups while also serving as a portable wireless microphone for on‑the‑go recording. The included table stand supports desktop use, and an optional boom arm provides additional mounting flexibility.P2 Dual‑Input Audio InterfaceMaono also introduced the P2, a dual‑input audio interface designed for creators who need multiple recording paths. The interface includes two XLR inputs with 48‑volt phantom power, supporting both dynamic and condenser microphones. Multiple output options are provided, including left and right monitor outputs, a camera output, a live output, and USB‑C connections for computers and mobile devices. A dedicated USB‑C power port allows the interface to operate without draining a connected phone.The front‑facing controls simplify operation by placing gain knobs, monitoring controls, and headphone volume adjustments within easy reach. This layout mirrors the ergonomics of larger studio mixers, reducing the need to reach around the back of the device during recording sessions.P1 Compact Audio InterfaceThe P1 serves as a smaller companion to the P2, offering a single XLR and quarter‑inch combo input in a compact metal chassis.

Avec des alternatives pour tous les budgets.CAMÉRA J'utilise : Sony A7C avec objectif Sigma 28-70 (~3000€ le setup complet). Pourquoi ? Retour caméra intégré, 4K, polyvalent pour YouTube et formations.Alternative budget : Votre iPhone. Sérieusement. Avec un bon éclairage, vous aurez un rendu largement suffisant.Mon outil préféré : DJI Osmo Pocket 3 (600-700€) Pour moi c'est LE matériel le plus résilient. Filme en 4K, vertical et horizontal, suit votre tête automatiquement, tient dans une poche. Si je devais repartir de zéro, je prendrais peut-être juste ça.LUMIÈRE J'utilise : Elgato Keylight Air. Révolutionnaire. Avant j'avais des parapluies à 700€ qui prenaient une place énorme. Maintenant, cette lumière se pose sur mon bureau, se contrôle depuis mon téléphone (intensité, température de couleur), et offre une qualité excellente. Rapport qualité/prix/ergonomie imbattable.La lumière est plus importante que la caméra. Un iPhone bien éclairé bat une caméra à 3000€ mal éclairée.MICRO J'utilise : Shure SM7B (300€) + Rodecaster Duo (500€) = 800€ le setup audio. C'est le meilleur micro podcast du marché selon moi. Se branche en XLR, qualité sonore exceptionnelle, étouffe les bruits ambiants.Alternative budget : Bird UM1 (60€). Micro podcast USB qui se branche directement sur votre ordinateur. C'est ce que j'utilisais avant. Tient dans un sac à dos, livré avec une trousse de transport. Pour du podcast, c'est le minimum recommandé.Pour la vidéo : DJI Mic (inclus avec le pack Osmo Pocket). Qualité sonore géniale, connecté directement à la caméra, son déjà synchronisé. Révolutionnaire en termes de polyvalence.ACCESSOIRE GAME-CHANGER Elgato Cam Link : petit boîtier USB qui transforme votre caméra en webcam. Vous branchez votre caméra en HDMI, et hop, qualité 4K pour vos formations, zooms, lives. Plus besoin de synchroniser audio/vidéo après coup.LOGICIELSGarageBand : enregistrement audio (gratuit sur Mac)Final Cut Pro : montage vidéo (300€ one-time payment)TELLA : l'outil que je recommande le plusTELLA permet d'enregistrer votre écran + votre tête simultanément (via Cam Link). Avant, je devais enregistrer ma caméra d'un côté, mon écran de l'autre, puis synchroniser au montage. Maintenant : un clic, tout est enregistré ensemble, je peux éditer directement sur TELA. Game-changer pour les formations en ligne.LE PRINCIPE CLÉ Plus vous diminuez la friction, plus vous créez. Si votre matériel complet tient dans une poche (DJI Osmo + micro), vous n'avez plus d'excuses pour ne pas créer. C'est pour ça que la DJI Osmo est mon outil préféré : polyvalence maximale, friction minimale.RÉCAP PAR BUDGETBudget serré : iPhone + Bird UM1 (60€) + Lumière basiqueBudget intermédiaire : DJI Osmo Pocket 3 pack complet (600-700€)Setup pro : Sony A7C + Shure SM7B + Elgato Keylight Air (~4000€)Tous les liens en description (certains sont des liens affiliés).

Send us a textWelcome back to Spectator Mode Podcast! In episode 209 we dig into big shifts across the gaming industry, including reports that the Game Developers Conference may be seeing a drop in international attendance and what that means for developers worldwide. We also break down the latest Xbox Developer Direct, react to the Dragon Ball 40th Anniversary announcements, and revisit Highguard and what its struggles say about live service games. To wrap things up, we tackle a big question: can publishers succeed without major media outlets as more companies go straight to influencers and their own platforms?**Keith apologizes for this crappy voice quality.

There are some people who are part of the fabric of the NosillaCast, piping up from time to time over many years to provide valuable insight to the show when a topic tickles them. One of these people is Andy Dolph, who's been sending in content and chatting with me in the background since 2012. You may remember a few years back when Bart had a curious failure with his microphone, and Andy gave us a tutorial on how XLR cables are constructed that explained the failure. After all these years, we finally decided to sit down and have a chit chat about his work as Special Events Coordinator for Learning Space Technologies at the University of New Hampshire.

Today is C1E100 for Theme Thursday, Dec 11th, 2025. Today is our final non-retrospective episode of Channel 1. We made it to 100! Today's episode is split into two halves: a) a massive pre-show that is actually about 18 minutes LONGER than the “episode proper”, and b) the “episode proper”. The theme for both are end credits and ending sequence music, on a program we're calling “Now Go and Rest our Heroes!”     Tracklist:      Track Number (or letter) - Track - Game - System(s) - Composer(s) - Timestamp        A - Earcatcher and Talking Portion 1 of 3 - 00:00:00        Mini-block 1:     B - Ending - Golden Axe Warrior - Master System - Chikako Kamtani - 00:13:08     C - Ending - Gunstar Heroes - Genesis - Norio Hanzawa - 00:15:09     D - Ending - Strider - Genesis - c: Junko Tamiya / a: Tadahiko Inoue - 00:18:42     E - Credits - Rayman - PS1/Saturn - Stéphane Bellanger, Didier Lord, Sylvain-Luc Brunet, Nathalie Drouet, Dominique Dumont, Kamel Founas, Rémi Gazel, Didier Gilbert Leglise, Jean-Marc Lichtmann, Frédéric Louvre, Olivier Mortier, Frédéric Prados, Stéphane Ronse, René De Wael, and/or Olaf Zalcman - 00:20:03     F - Credits - Hotel Mario - CD-i - Jack Levy - 00:21:08     G - Credits - Wii Fit - Wii - Toru Minegishi, Manaka Kataoka, and/or Shiho Fujii - 00:21:58     H - Fear of a Blank Planet - Control - Multiplatform - Porcupine Tree - 00:24:01     I - Ending - Legendary Axe II - TG16 - Hirotoshi Suzuki - 00:31:11     J - Ending Theme - Street Fighter 2010 - NES - Junko Tamiya - 00:34:22     K - To Far Away Times - Chrono Trigger - SNES - Yasunori Mitsuda and/or Nobuo Uematsu - 00:36:25     L - An Ending - Undertale - Multiplatform - Toby Fox - 00:40:41     M - Ending Theme - Final Fantasy X - PS2 - Nobuo Uematsu - 00:44:03     N - End Credits - Cloudpunk - Multiplatform - Harry Critchley - 00:49:25     O - End Credits - Cyberpunk 2077 - Multiplatform - Marcin Przybyłowicz, P.T.

She was a lovely person, and through these accounts, it's not entirely too late to [at least sorta kinda] get to know her! She was my mom's sister's daughter - and if I'm being completely honest, she reminded me more of mom than of aunt Karen. I suppose, in a way, she was the closest thing my brother and I had to a sister.   2) Links to C1E1 and C2E20!   I'll upload each this month as reruns. But meanwhile, here is the easiest way to hear them!         a) Link to C1E1:             https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/c1e1-press-start        b) Link to C2E20:               https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/ch-2-nerd-noise-game-club-c2e20-all-good-things   Produced using a nearly equal mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Workstation Linux on an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2023) laptop with perhaps a little support from a Dell Latitude 7480 (running Fedora COSMIC Linux), a 2017-spec DIY gaming PC (running Bazzite Linux) or the Steam Deck (running Steam OS Linux). Recorded with a Shure SM7B XLR dynamic microphone on a RØDE PSA1+ boom arm through a Cloudlifter and a Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB interface! The "Episode Proper" portion was recorded using Audacity in Fedora Workstation like the others, but was recorded using an M-Audio MobilePre XLR-to-USB audio interface and an AudioTechnica AT2020 microphone deliberately used improperly in order to emulate my much much poorer production techniques as of 2016. An AT2020 actually failed during this recording. Fortunately, I had a second AT2020, so I was able to finish the recording without substantial variation. The first line recorded with the second AT2020 was "I'm John Wedgeworth – thanks for listening."    You can also find all of our audio episodes on https://archive.org/details/@nerd_noise_radio as well as the occasional additional release only available there, such as remixes of previous releases and other content.    We are now a member podcast as well.

In this episode I return to my Podcast Answer Man roots and share an in-depth review of my newest and most unexpected favorite piece of podcast gear. The Zoom PodTrak P4next! This tiny device delivers almost everything I rely on from the Rodecaster Pro 2 at a fraction of the size and a fraction of the cost, coming in at only $179. I'll walk you through how I discovered it, my initial skepticism, and why seeing the Zoom name made me give it a chance. I'm so glad I did. I'll share what the Zoom PodTrak P4next does, how I'm using it, why it has already earned a permanent place in my travel setup, and why I might even replace my Rodecaster Pro 2 in the studio. I recorded this episode from the front seat of my car to demonstrate how powerful this device is for portable recording. You'll hear the quality of the preamps and the impressive noise reduction capabilities in action. I talk about the power options, multitrack capability, four XLR inputs, mix-minus support, sound pads, four independently controlled headphone outputs, built in audio recorder and more. I also share the story of why this little recorder solves technical problems I have carried for years. If you have been looking for a reliable way to record multiple microphones on the road, or if you want to build a complete podcast studio that fits in a backpack, this episode will show you how simple, and inexpensive, it can be. Portable Gear Recommendations Many listeners and viewers ask for my current recommendations for a complete portable recording setup. Here's the list with affiliate links. Primary Device Zoom PodTrak P4next - https://amzn.to/4rA85fY Microphone Options Heil PR-40 - https://amzn.to/4iofavZ If you want something more portable, my long-time favorite was the Audio Technica ATR-2100. It is no longer manufactured, so my best current guess for a quality budget dynamic mic is the Rode PodMic Cardioid Dynamic Broadcast Microphone found at https://amzn.to/4rgUIBf Cables Three foot XLR mic cables - https://amzn.to/43UbqMC Stands Portable mic stand options - https://amzn.to/3MmDMJf Headphones Sony MDR-7506 - https://amzn.to/3M0apwo Replacement ear pads for the MDR-7506 - https://amzn.to/3M0gj0z Closing Thought If this episode inspires you to pick up the Zoom PodTrak P4next, I would love to hear about it. Send me an email and let me know how this episode inspired you. My email is Cliff@CliffRavenscraft.com.

Bad audio is one of the fastest ways to lose an audience, no matter how great your content is. But sounding better doesn't have to mean buying piles of gear or learning how to mix audio like a pro. This week, I'm joined by Laura Clapp Davidson, musician, content creator, and market development manager at Shure, who knows exactly how to make creators sound their best.Laura explains how to simplify your setup, fix common mistakes, and pick the right mic for your space and budget. We talk about everything from the basics of guest audio prep to the myths around shotgun mics, boom arms, and USB vs. XLR setups. Laura also shares her approach to starting a podcast, managing sound on the go, and what she's most excited about in the future of creator audio. If you've been putting off upgrading your setup, this episode might just convince you it's time.Key TakeawaysYour mic doesn't need to break the bank: Great sound is about positioning and setup, not price tags.Headphones matter: Always use wired headphones to avoid echo and delay (sorry, AirPods fans).Mic placement beats editing: Get close to the mic; fixing bad audio later only goes so far.Prep your guests: A quick checklist for mics, headphones, and background noise saves hours of editing later.Invest in you: Good audio is a long-term asset. Buy gear that will last, not one you'll replace next year.ResourcesLaura Clapp Davidson: lauraclapp.comPodcast: Song 43 and TMI (The Music Industry) — tmiwithlaura.comShure Microphones: shure.com----------------------Ecamm - Your go-to solution for crafting outstanding live shows and podcasts. - Get 15% off your first payment with promo code JEFF15SocialMediaNewsLive.com - Dive into our website for comprehensive episode breakdowns.Youtube.com - Tune in live, chat with us directly, and be part of the conversation.

Louie shares how to set up your first recording for your podcast. He gives a step by step guide on what you need to do and how to get a great podcast recording, whether that's a solo episode or you are interviewing. Want to get into podcasting but need a little push? Join our 3-day Podcasting event in Peterborough! – Get in touch for details! podcast@disruptivemedia.co.uk Episode Takeaways • Suggested Equipment You Will Need: Samsung Q2U microphone, a recorder like the Zoom PodTrak P4, Batteries, SD Card, 4GB SanDisk, XLR cable if using multiple microphones, Microphone stand and Headphones. For more detail on equipment head to episode ‘PODCAST EQUIPMENT 101: WHAT YOU NEED & WHY' • Think about the positioning of your microphone as this is key to the quality of your sound. • Always wear your headphones at all times, unless you have someone listening to the recording for you. • The ‘gain' of the microphone is essentially its sensitivity; the higher the dial, the more sensitive it is. Check that it is at a comfortable level by listening through your headphones. • It is better to be too quiet than too loud, as if you are too loud, you will distort your recording and it cannot be saved in post-production. BEST MOMENTS “You're going to listen to it, so make sure it sounds good to you” “Listen to the recording and change dials appropriately to make sure we are coming through clearly” “We're trying to avoid peaking or being too loud in the microphone” “If this is your first time plugging everything in, do expect some changes and tech faults” VALUABLE RESOURCES PODCAST EQUIPMENT 101: WHAT YOU NEED & WHY: https://traffic.megaphone.fm/USVL7437414704.mp3?updated=1753924125 Website Want to get into podcasting but need a little push?

Join our 3-day Podcasting event in Peterborough! – Get in touch for details! podcast@disruptivemedia.co.uk Episode Takeaways • Samsung Q2U microphone. This sometimes will come in a kit. This microphone is very good value for money and can be used in any podcasting set up. • Zoom H4n and the Zoom PodTrak P4 are both good options for a recorder, but consider what input you need before deciding. • There are a lot of other things to consider with a recorder. Keep a close eye on the podcast for an episode Louie is recording on exactly this! • Batteries are important for recording; you will need more than you expect. • SD card options are almost endless, but Louie recommends a relatively high speed and large option, such as the 4GB SanDisk. • If you have multiple people speaking then you need multiple microphones. You will need an XLR cable to be able to plug them all in, you need one XLR cable per microphone. Consider the length of cable you might need. • Microphone stands will vary depending on your type of set up. Its main purpose is to get the microphone away from any surfaces that might vibrate or create unwanted feedback and noise. • Headphones are forward, you can use almost anything you have already, it's about monitoring the recording, so anyone who is being recorded needs to be wearing headphones. BEST MOMENTS “Think about what kind of podcast you are making.” “The worst thing that could happen is you guys run out of battery mid interview and don't realise it and don't have back up” “If you've got something that works, get it out, plug it in, see if it sounds ok. You don't have to go away and spend loads of money if you don't need to, use something if you've got it” VALUABLE RESOURCES Microphone: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samson-SAQ2U-Microphone-Recording-Pack/dp/B001R747SG?th=1 Recorder: https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/200806360890025--zoom-podtrak-p4?gad_source=4&gad_campaignid=17601953470&gbraid=0AAAAAD76p-1ub2Ja6py32W1LsdqRLx5bn&gclid=CjwKCAjwv5zEBhBwEiwAOg2YKNRDfzEkrcAWQ7Sw8ARzMOFBF1rtT_FSr9j77LnVeYfe1iUNC1KlKBoCnFIQAvD_BwE SD Card: https://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-MicroSDHC-Card-Label-Change/dp/B001C0DJL4 Website Want to get into podcasting but need a little push?
