0:23.9

Hey, Pat, this is Scott McMullen.

0:26.4

I have a local podcast called the Annapolis podcast.

0:30.7

You can find it on Facebook.

0:32.7

And my question to you is editing the sound, editing the audio.

0:39.1

Should I do it myself or should I hire out someone else to do it? I've been having some ups and downs and it's been all over the
