On episode 319 of the BSP I discuss youtube testing out running 10 unskippable advertisements on videos, the new Apogee Boom, why I'm overhead micing again with the Neumann KM184, low pass filters for spoken word, youtube paid courses being a bad idea, selling out and doing clickbait, me being an overconsumption promoting hypocrite, and the difference between dB and LUFS meters. Selected paid promo because I talk about the Apogee Boom which was sent to me by Apogee in order to review. They did not pay me and they do not have any editorial control over anything I say about it.
