Know what I mean?

You know when you hear a recording of your own voice, it sounds a little...strange?

You get so used to the reverb in your own head that when you hear what everyone else hears, it's odd.

Unless you are Mariah Carey and you listen to your own voice professionally, in which you can just politely disagree with me and keep reading anyway.

Not being of the Mariah Carey sort, I must say it took me a little while to get accustomed to the sound of my own voice on The Fiber Beat Podcast.

I was interviewed by Mike when I sojourned to the land of chicken-nugget free dining to visit my friends at Bobbin's Nest Studio in Santa Clara.

The first part of the podcast is an interview with Bobbin's Nest owner Erin McGee, who I can honestly say is even more delightful in person than she is recorded.

I love the musical choices The Fiber Beat intersperses while you're listening -- never would I have guessed that the Mickey Mouse Club Rollcall and I would be mingling. But Wonder Mike makes it work.

You can find The Fiber Beat on iTunes (we're episode lucky 13), or by using this link and clicking on "direct download" at the bottom of the post. (It's free entertainment, and fun knitting listening.)

I made my husband listen to it (ah, the joys of being married), and here were his remarks, verbatim:

"It was good."

"You laugh a lot."

Touché, sir, touché.

Thanks for the kind words, Sharon. My editor, Anthony, and I both agree on this: you've got a GREAT radio voice! Thanks for the opportunity to chat with you. I'm really enjoying all the entries for the contest. Here's wishing you continued success and a wonderful holiday. :)
