Omg if you need a super stupid/entertaining party game, check out Drink More Glurp. My face hurts from smiling/laughing.

Tell me you edit audio without telling me you edit audio.

I'm TOTALLY distracted by the upcut breath in this training video....

[jay czys @decibeljay]

Why yes, I did bring a travel pillow to work today.
A nap is in my future between driving @npratc and driving @npr’s special coverage of election night. We will be on the air until 0100 eastern time!

[jay czys @decibeljay]

If you need me, I’ll be comfort eating ALL WEEK.

[jay czys @decibeljay]

Not bad mic placement!

I’m on a reporting trip in upstate New York where @lmigaki has lost control and her @npr radio producing job has been taken away.

All audio is now punctuated by giggles. 🎉🙌

Doing the job with the best team around @npratc

[Kamala Kelkar @kkelkar]

Watched the top of @npratc with director @djmradams and tech director @decibeljay while @SachaPfeiffer and @ailsachang hosted! Amazing view of an ace team. ❤️‍🔥

[jay czys @decibeljay]

Yup!

IMO, #sounddesign involves audio engineering skills. You need to have an understanding of:
Sample rates
File types
Audio spectrum
Gain staging
Signal flow

Anyone feel different? Or anything I missed?

[jay czys @decibeljay]

I just had the best idea: say a creep asks for your phone number. Give them the number for the USNO master clock instead.

[jay czys @decibeljay]

I’m basically famous now right? Or am I just @relucasz conscience?

Either way, this is a still from @npr’s special coverage live stream today, complete with video!

[jay czys @decibeljay]

Apparently I had one job to do…

[jay czys @decibeljay]

You know what’s cool? Working on something Thursday and then happening to catch it on the radio Saturday.

[jay czys @decibeljay]

We have entered use the shit out of my electric kettle season.

[jay czys @decibeljay]

Work today was pretty fun.
