I pitched the idea to Al, he loved it, I recorded the first three episodes in one marathon with my friends @doggans, @TheWire2, @thegreatlukeski and @Bogroff1, and it seemed like "Escape From Vault Disney" was up and running.

(And, I hasten to repeat, I ONLY agreed to do this podcast in the first place under the promise that he would edit it for me. I do not have time to make videos AND edit a weekly podcast.)

Well, this afternoon, Al sent me a link to the Soundcloud page where he posted his "final edit" of the podcast episode. I listened to it, and I was fucking appalled. He had followed practically NONE of my instructions.

We sounded like shit. I asked him to cut out the awkward sentence false-starts, and he had barely cut out any of them. There were tons of awkward pauses and unprofessional "um"s and "y'know"s...

...Basically, the kinda stuff I take great lengths to cut out of One Movie Later and my vlogs whenever possible, which is what makes my videos WATCHABLE. And in an audio-only format, you have even MORE flexibility to remove that shit!

We had recorded the episode in three segments - our preconceptions BEFORE watching the movie, our review AFTER watching the movie, and our teaser for the next episode.

I specifically told Al, "I want music at the beginning, at the end, and between segments 1 and 2, but NOT between segments 2 and 3. Just edit it so it sounds like we don't stop talking." He either didn't notice that, or deliberately disobeyed me. Between segments 2 and 3? Music.
