Adventures in Opinions: Recent Episodes
JaySmouse
Adventures in Opinions is an Adventures in Odyssey fan podcast and blog that covers the opinions of myself and my co-host, John Tuttle III, on the latest Odyssey news, episodes, and more. On the blog, I also review AIO fan content and older episodes. You'll also find my popular series of posts called "You Might be an AIO Fan If..." to be relatable as an AIO fan.

My initial reaction to episode #949 of Adventures in Odyssey, "Results May Vary." And yes, I'm back to my good old setup where I can do live commentary over the episode! In fact, you might notice that my recording quality has gone up. I've got new additions to my setup including a new pop filter, arm, and cable. My old cable is what inhibited my recording volume so much, so now I should be able to record at good volumes and not have to amplify it in post.
I put a picture of my new setup at adventuresinopinions.com/results-may-vary-reaction in case you want to see what it looks like.

I was working on this before Lee Acim released his latest trailer. Hopefully I'm getting better at this, but feel free to let me know what I can do better next time. Oh, and sorry, for some reason Audacity put a long pause between the trailer and Phil Lollar saying when The Rydell Revelations releases in the club.
P.S. I know the trailer category is for the podcast's trailer, but I'm using it for my episode trailers.
