The

The Welcome to Spirits podcast to boosy dive into mythology, legends, and folklore.

Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world.

I'm Amanda.

And I'm Julia. And Amanda, sort of keeping with the theme of this is our 10-year anniversary

month of spirits, I've been thinking a lot about our spirits lore, you know, the deep lore of spirits podcast as a whole.

Yeah.

Back in the day, we had what we considered a cursed episode.

Well, was it a curse or was it me not knowing that much about audio engineering quite yet?

Who can say?

Well, okay, so a little context for this.

The first time we ever recorded this

episode, the interface for the mic just fully wasn't plugged in. Yep. But also, Amanda,

these things happen, especially when you're first podcasting, like we've been doing this for a decade now,

and the amount of times that we've actually lost audio, we can count on one hand, thankfully. It's true. So that's huge for us. Yeah, it's the real, uh, is it plugged in? And the answer was no. And you know what? That's on me. And now we know we can look at the waveforms. We can see that it is in fact plugged in. And then we can go from there. And that's great. That's great for us. And Julie, you said the first time we recorded this episode? This is not the second time, though. This is not the second time,

because then we recorded the episode again, and we somehow managed to lose the files. Yep. I just

copied them, save them, thought I saved them, didn't save them. Files were fine, but they gone.

Yeah. So what happened was, Amanda, you did

manage to find them later because we had brought a guest on that we were really excited about. And so

you were like, I have to make sure that these files are saved in multiple locations so that we

don't lose the files, right? And so you found the files for this lost episode in like a

separate hard drive. Yep. So secure that I lost them, you know? So we managed to find them again.
