A request for feedback:
Until this week I have been producing/editing the podcast in a way to try and give an audio experience approximating the whole service. Because of the need to balance varying volume levels (particularly during things like the “call and response” parts in the spoken liturgy), this is proving quite labour intensive.
For this week I have taken a different approach by just including some of the key moments from the service.
If there are elements of the service which you feel are required (or alternatively elements which are superfluous for the podcast), please do send feedback to webadmin(at)stjamesleith.org.uk. Thanks
