testing the shure bg 1.1

today i'm testing out another new microphone — the shure bg 1.1.

after trying it out, i don't think i like it as much as the shure pg48. the bg 1.1 sounds flatter, more neutral, and kind of dull to me, while the pg48 sounds more lively and interesting.

plus, i talk about california ranking near the bottom of a new list of the safest states in america, and a strange new study looking at a possible connection between a cat parasite and human happiness.
