Hi everyone!

I thought I'd change things up a bit this week and hand this email over to my dear friend Mike Senior. He has a new hilarious podcast out and he reached out to me to see if I thought you guys were interested.

So if you're puttering around your project studio today and you're in need of a laugh, maybe Mike Senior can help you out.

Here's a quick message from him:

​​​​​​​Hi folks!

I'm Mike Senior. You may know me from my book Mixing Secrets For The Small Studio (and its popular free multitrack download library) or from my regular contributions to Sound On Sound magazine's Mix Rescue, Session Notes, and The Mix Review columns.

I know: worthy, but dull.

What you probably don't know, however, is that I've just launched a rather less dull, and undeniably less worthy, free podcast called Project Studio Tea Break, where I've teamed up with composer and musical director Jon Whitten to ponder the most pressing issues of small-studio existence. You know the kind of thing. The pros and cons of homeopathic guitar solos. The best mics for hand-to-hand combat. Why TC Electronic should be shipping their latest plug-in with a pencil sharpener. And can you tell the real synth-module names from the ones we've just made up?

Every month we shakedown some of the silliest breaking news items, nominate our own personal Facepalm Of The Month, and tackle select listeners' questions (whether they like it or not). So if your caffeine levels are low, and you want incontrovertible proof of Mick Jagger's credibility vacuum, then tune in at www.projectstudioteabreak.com.
