Corruption, Technical Difficulties, and a Do-Over

Hello Wild Riders!

Everyone goes through a learning curve when trying something new, but I seem to always hit the bottom of the slide, HARD.

It’s why when I first started podcasting, I dreaded uploading the sound file after editing. It didn’t help that I had heard a horror story at a writers conference. The host of the show had uploaded the file, but days later, found out nothing was on it. Oopsy.

That would never happen to me, right?

My last guest, FBI profiler, Pete Klismet emailed me two weeks ago. He couldn’t get the podcast to run past the thirty minute mark. I was on the run and checked the Apple Podcast which showed a running time of one hour and thirty minutes. I assumed it was his internet.

Assume, being the key word. Never assume.

When I clicked to Soundcloud to promote the podcast, it finally hit me right between my beady eyes. The soundwave (the vertical lines indicating sound) ended about thirty minutes into the interview! Oh, noooooooooooooooo!

Mistakes were made.

The original file was fine but it became corrupted somehow or another when it was sent after my son edited it. I needed a do-over!

Notice all those bars below on Soundcloud? Yep. That’s what it’s supposed to look like. As Billie Eilish would say, “Duh.”

So, here’s a second chance to listen to Pete’s ENTIRE interview. Woohoo!! I know you’ll enjoy learning about profiling.
