I'm back from a month long road trip and while I was gone, I started hearing and reading concerns over Audacity becoming spyware under its new ownership. Also today, April 26, 2021, a new version of Audacity (3.0.3) was released. Coincidence? Let's talk.

Here are the links I mention in this episode:

• Steve Stewart in The Podcast Editors Club on Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcasteditors/posts/4509499399138772
• The Audacity Desktop Privacy Notice https://www.audacityteam.org/about/desktop-privacy-notice/
• What's New in Version 3.0.3? https://www.audacityteam.org/audacity-3-0-3-is-out-now/

NOTE: As I was editing this episode, Audacity crashed and I was given the option to send the crash report or not send it, just as the privacy notice stated would happen.
