Hello friends, welcome back. Can you hear that lovely warm, sure SM7B microphone sound?

I may be sad to be back from Dubai because it is absolutely fucking freezing in the UK, but I'm finally back with my proper setup.

It was lovely being away, but I have missed the glorious warm tones of this beautiful microphone.

Anyway, onto today's episode, I'm speaking to Corey Allen who was an episode like 12 or something on the show.

He's a meditation expert, but I got him on today to talk about Binaural Beats.

You may have seen this term touted around the internet.

It's a specific type of music sound that you listen to which is proclaimed to assist with focus, with relaxation, with meditating,

with going to sleep, with a whole bunch of different things, and Corey makes some of the coolest Binaural Beats that I've ever heard.

So I thought, come on, explain to us what they are, and we've done a super special edit on this episode,

and he's actually spliced some of the songs that we're talking about.

So you'll actually get to hear Binaural Beats throughout this episode.

I'm not sure if I need to give a warning. I don't know how effective a 30 second sample of Binaural Beats will be at putting someone to sleep,

but if you are tired and driving on the motorway and it's late at night, maybe pick something else that isn't one with music designed to make you relax,

thrown in part way through.

Longer term, I would certainly be very, very interested in doing more stuff like this.

I have a ton of exciting ideas of how I can deliver a podcast in a unique and novel way, and this is just the first of that.

Sadly, I'm not an audio engineer, as you may be able to hear from some of the errors that inevitably creep through as these episodes go out.

I do all of the edits myself, but the show is getting to this stage where hopefully I'll be able to employ an audio engineer who will be able to come in and do,

you know, all sorts of different things.

Splicing in interviews, original footage, original sound, recordings from vlogs and other bits that I've taken as a part of life,

I suppose, or from media on the wider internet. So yeah, let me know what you think about this. I think it could be pretty cool to try and do more things like this,

and I just like playing around with the medium of podcasts.
