Testing out interfaces and seeing which are compatible... this little video tested out 3 microphones through my Shure Motiv Interface, Riverside FM features: captions and AI editing, YouTube upload, and reviewing the process. I have a Shure SM58 that I adore, the knock off SM58 from Temu was super quiet and the SM57 Temu special was oddly surprising.... after I ran it through the Riverside AI audio processing to bring it up to "studio quality" - I assure you the original was wayyy too quiet. Indeed, this prompted me to cancel an order I had waiting and went another direction. I will stick to my Shure SM58 as my primary microphone for a while yet - mainly because you can still see my face for podcast videos. Being able to see my lips is very important to me because I am a lip-reader and wish to give others the same consideration.

I get often asked why I got into motorcycles given my background as a librarian who was once focused on evidence based medical and nutrition literacy... here is a bit of an answer and a catch up on my projects since accidentally tanking my facebook page with those related posts - lessons learned and continuing on! Being multifaceted and curious minded has always been some of my saving graces for which I am grateful.

Revisiting topic of information resilience to add on the elements of information fatigue, role of communities, belonging and building up the self as well as others.

Listen on how to improve patient communication with patients with disabilities, veteran patients, and those with lifelong or severe medical conditions.
