In this episode we ALMOST manage to not talk about Apple. Almost.
But seriously, folks, how about that improved sound quality? We purchased some new gear and upped the ante. After 35 episodes, it just felt like it was time to get our act together. We’re still fiddling with the knobs and you might hear the level jump around a little, but we promise it’s getting better all the time.
On today’s episode: Amazon v. Hatchette, Rolling Stone Country, Pandora numbers, and Kickstarter’s updated rules. And Brian takes a minute to share an awesome story about Deep Purple.
Please let us know what you think! Did you like Storytime With Brian? Should we add a new segment? Take out an old one? Any special guests you’d like us to welcome? Let us know via email or Twitter.
