Geeking Out with Brandon and Nicole: Negative Alpha
So Brandon and I recorded a podcast yesterday, and the tentative title of the podcast is Geeking Out. This is our very very first podcast, which we’re calling episode Negative Alpha. We kinda just randomly talked about stuff without much planning, save for a rough outline of topics. After listening to it tonight, I’m actually rather pleased with how it turned out for a first time effort, especially since we’re just using the built-in mic on the MacBook Pro. I wished we talked more about each of the topics, especially with all the ideas in my head prior to the recording. Also, in retrospect, the cats topic was kinda lame. But hey, we’re still feeling this out and mistakes are bound to happen. The following is a link to the file and a brief outline of what we talked about.
