What do you actually use your watch for? This is not something I had given much thought to, but after doing an exercise and documenting how I used my watch over a month, I now have a much clearer understanding of what features and characteristics I want in my next watch.

On episode 330 of the BSP I discuss the tragedy of handholding a Neumann U87 Ai for a full podcast episode, creating content and art when you are not inherently talented, and I offer a terrible review of the apple watch ultra.

Today I review the sE Electronics VR2 which is an active ribbon mic with a healthy sensitivity and a nice extension into the treble and air frequencies. I think this is a great option for adding to a mic locker if you want a ribbon mic in your mic locker.

On episode 329 of the BSP I discuss how everything I believed is probably a lie and I have to assess everything to determine if it's accurate. I then talk about the purpose of videos being dark, the real reason people dislike electret microphones, the conflict of interest that arises from accepting sponsored videos from companies you review, other fall microphone pics, and an amazing voice submission.

Today I review a mic that I bought for $16, a mic that I had labeled the worst mic that I have ever used. The CAD U1 seems to be a revised version of the version I reviewed in 2015, and it is a massive improvement over the original. I do think it still has quite a few faults that you'll need to be aware of while using it.
Note: Original NT-USB is 535g while NT-USB+ is 510g. Don't know if anyone cares, I just measured it and didn't include it in the video.

On episode 327 of the BSP I discuss the Rode NT-USB+, how the future Twitter is different from Youtube, if handmade microphones are better, why I don't have a team, what makes a broadcast condenser, if I'll be a guest on your podcast and then I judge your audio.

Today I review the brand new mic from Soyuz, the 1973. This is a midforward microphone with a tame top end. It does a respectable job at plosive rejection, but suffers from a little bit of resonance and lack of shock rejection. If you're looking for that midforward sound with a non-overpowering upper end, this is an interesting option.

On episode 326 of the BSP I discuss Elon Musk's real plans for Twitter: turning it into a bank, and seemingly a social credit score system. Then I use the Soyuz 1973, experimenting with pre-production, and answer questions about TikTok and how i use it to avoid security and privacy concerns.
