Rose the Sunday Goose You Foolish Onus. Welcome to the Blind Buy Podcast. Do you notice anything

0:07.2

different about the sound this week? I hope you don't notice anything different because

0:13.4

I am not recording this podcast. In my studio, I am currently recording this podcast right

0:19.7

now in my office. Now if you've been listening to the podcast over the past three weeks you'll

0:24.8

know that I had great difficulty recording the podcast in my new office because I'd gotten

0:31.7

this space just for writing and research but the office was quite noisy. Outside my door,

there's an accountant who we've come to know as the barefoot accountant who walks up and

recording this podcast in my office and it feels incredible. Why does it feel incredible?
