seeesh. terrrrrrible audio.
interesting interview.
also, how do you get the share and embed and info tabs to work on the player, player?
Oh. I get it now. Ali and Cactus were hitch-hiking.
Did you ever get a ride?
It’s not terrible. Or have I not gotten that far yet?
The transition from the intro to the track was jarring – whoops – as was the outro into the interview and WHAT???
OMG – they are outside and I can hear the edits.
Pet Peeves! Pet Peeves!
The audio is not terrible. The editing could use some work…and quit playing with the mic! That is the most annoying part of it!
And all of those things makes it terrible.

I know cactus personally. Actually I know the whole family, and one thing you need to learn from them Mr Bill Smith whoever you are, is compassion, and yes, being possitive. They also share their knowledge with whoever asks. They coach children in their free time, AT NO COST, and are the first to volunteer when help is needed. WHY are you so envious of this guy? Or are you angry at this world. What kind of healing do you need, because as you know, Cactus’ wife is a magnificent healer. And since when hitch hiking is a sin or a negative thing to do?
CORRECTION: They do NOT coach kids in their free time. They MAKE the time to give to other people.
@And since when hitch hiking is a sin or a negative thing to do?
I don’t know about sin, or how you even came to that conclusion, but my comment was more of a tongue-in-cheek reference to the portions of the audio garbled with traffic sounds. Perhaps your sense of humor needs some healing. It appears damaged.
MMy humor is not damaged….anybody that knows me would tell you that I do NOT miss an opportunity to laugh.. and I do it loudly and freely. Know, being honest yes, there is a LOT in me that needs healing. I was raped several times as a child, then cheated by my husband while I was on labor…..etc etc….so yes, I need healing and I am FAR from being a perfect human being. A perfect mom, a perfect part of the community…… I didn’t get the hitch hiking part as English is not my native language. But al I read was negativity. I apologize if you didn’t meant it that way… it just seemed bitter
