Some awkward editing, but there is a lot of random problems involved with this free flow format.  Adam K. Ernest visits with us and gives us the low down on the Follow My Vote DAC from followmyvote.com.

I forgot to run a leveler/compressor.  So the audio leveling is a bit off.  I forget doing this stuff in a rush to get it out the same day.

Next step I need to translate some of the audio to text and hopefully we can get a shortened version available for our Chinese friends.
