Just another random update, talking about Linux and buying another used laptop.

Just a quick update about a web project that I've been working on and a business that I want to start. Tomorrow is my Birthday!!!!

I didn’t have a plan for this episode—I just felt like recording. I talk about the hot weather, hanging out with my cats, and the box of free audio gear I just got from someone on Discord. Inside: an MXL 990, Behringer CO2s, contact mics, and a Tascam DR-05. Lots of mic talk, a bit of gear history, and some casual hanging out.

In this episode, I open up about my subconscious fear of strangers and how it affects my daily life—even something as simple as leaving my room. I explore where this fear might come from, and whether it’s rooted in childhood trauma, social anxiety, or a mix of both.

Together, we’ll unpack the difference between trauma-driven fear and thought-driven social anxiety, and talk about how they can overlap in powerful ways. I’ll share what it feels like to live with these patterns, why the body sometimes reacts before the mind, and how small, compassionate steps can begin to shift the experience.

If you’ve ever felt awkward, uptight, or paralyzed around strangers—or wondered why your body tenses up in social situations—this episode is for you. You’re not alone, and the patterns you carry don’t define you.

I'm officially moved in! Join me as I recount the harrowing, yet ultimately peaceful, journey of moving my cats, Starshine and Sydney. I'll share my biggest fears about them escaping, the reality of my "spoiled and pampered" felines, and how we're all adjusting to our new place. Plus, an update on their new diet—and mine—after a week of moving chaos.

Sometimes you need a sock over your mic to tame the plosives—but never to tame your opinions. Whilst utilizing a new blackout Blue Yeti, Bree aka Slime talks audio gear, wired headphone superiority, and the chaos of everyday life, with cats, weather updates, and a side-eye at Joe Rogan’s climate commentary.

In this laid-back audio journal, Bree (aka Slime) hangs out with Starshine and Sydney while reflecting on an upcoming move, the quirks of renting a tiny room, and the joys and frustrations of microphones, EQ tweaks, and field recorders. From noisy neighbors to Dollar Tree’s strange obsession with energy drinks (and complete lack of coffee), it’s a casual, cat-filled snapshot of a September evening.

In this episode, I record a quick podcast on a Saturday afternoon using the CAD-Equitek E50 microphone. I discuss the challenges of getting a clean recording due to loud road noise outside my window. I talk about moving into a new place soon.

I also talk about my love for microphones, sharing my interest in three new microphones that just came out - Behringer D3, CAD E150 and the Golden Age Project FC1 MK3 - even though I can't afford them. I reveal that a fellow Discord server member is sending me a pair of Behringer C2 pencil microphones and a contact microphone for my ASMR podcast. I describe what a contact microphone is and how they pick up vibrations from objects rather than air. At the end, I play audio from a YouTube video of contact microphones picking up various sounds.
