This was really the first episode of Scaling UP! Even though it is Episode #2. The first episode was simply a placeholder to allow me to get the Podcast registered on iTunes and Stitcher and also get the website up and running. It was for this "real" episode that I purchased items to actually have a sound studio to record in. Many of you wrote in to tell me how much better I sounded on episode 2 than episode 1. This is for a few reasons:

Research

I did a lot of research before recording the second episode. This included reading post, watching YouTube (I love YouTube,) exploring around with the sound software and purchasing a good condensing microphone. Many of you asked which microphone I am using. It is called the Samson Meteor. I read on several reviews that it was almost indistinguishable from many other more expensive microphones. A top rated podcasting microphone was ten times more expensive than the Meteor and the Meteor got a better review! If you are curious, I bought it from Amazon (as I do most things).

During this episode, we talk about the Association of Water Technologies, AWT and the Certified Water Technologist designation, CWT. I mention the booklet that helps guide you through the CWT process, here it is:

I also mention the corrosion coupon guidelines from AWT, here that is:

I hope you enjoy the Podcast. I am having a lot of fun with it.
