Rick joins Eric to talk about the DIY moment Eric had when he realized he could order replacement batteries instead of sending off a piece of equipment for repair. Might be obvious to everyone else, but not Eric.
We both love www.transom.org , a website devoted to helping people craft superb audio stories for radio and podcasting. They have a whole section of how to articles on recording, editing, and fine tuning audio productions that are very helpful to podcasters.

Hello Eric and Rick,
I thought I would add a suggestion for using Siri to maintain lists. I go into the "Reminders" app on either my iPhone or my Mac and create a series of lists. I have a separate list for each of the food stores that I shop at, as well as the orange store and blue store, etc. When I am out and about and think of something I need from a particular store, I activate Siri and say, "add sourdough bread to my Trader Joe's list." When I find
myself at Trader Joe's I pull up that list and have everything there that I need from that store. I can add things to any list from my Mac, my iPad or my phone. This really works well for me and my aging brain..
For the truly geeky, there are task and project management software options like "OmniFocus" or "Things." I use the latter for keeping track of all the various tasks I need to complete for my dozens of projects (most of which will probably remain undone). Siri will also add tasks to my inbox in Things which I can then sort later into my various project files or task lists. I then create a daily list of things to do from my project lists. This has really helped keep me organized, efficient and on task--no small accomplishment.
Love the podcast!

Great! And if I was not clear, you can also have a general, catch-all "To Do" list to capture things you need to do on the fly.. I use that a lot as well. I find that if I don't get things out of my head and recorded somewhere I can quickly lose them.

And sorry... one more thing (because this was a problem for me) make sure iCloud is turned on in the "System Preferences" and that "Reminders" is checked in the items you want to sync in iCloud. Same thing on the iPhone.
