This special holiday episode is bursting with Easter cheer as I, Bruce, along with Sunny, and our effervescent guest Lily, reconvene to share a pocket-sized update on our lives and podcasting escapades. We're keeping it breezy with a five-minute frolic through our recent adventures and an outpouring of warm wishes for a Happy Easter to our listeners. With Lily fresh from her spring break, her infectious energy brings a delightful twist to our usual banter.

Will Lily steal the show, or will Lily's competitive fire dazzle us all with an unexpected triumph? Join us for this quick episode of joy and competition where we laugh a little,  and most importantly, extend our heartfelt Easter greetings to every one of our cherished listeners.

Remember that time I mistakenly called Bruce "Brooke" and we all had a good laugh? Well, Bruce and I are back at the mic, and this time we're inviting you on a spirited journey through the podcast universe, complete with a charming nod to Lily's "Enjoying Being Human" as she prepares to unleash new episodes over her spring break. But it's the allure of the "Makeshift Stories" podcast that truly ensnares our fancy, spinning tales of science fiction that captivate and inspire – and we're thrilled to showcase their work during our show.

Amidst our revelry in content creation, we take a stark turn down memory lane with Alicia, whose unsettling experience of the Mandela Effect in Rosoli, Italy, has us questioning the very fabric of recollection. The Rosoli disaster, a catastrophic event that seems to shift its details with each retelling, steers us into a narrative labyrinth. Alicia's pursuit of truth against a backdrop of lost memories, skeptical strangers, and an estranged uncle captures the essence of our fascination with history's mutable nature.

As we navigate from the shadows of the past into the celestial wonders overhead, the anticipation for the 2024 eclipse stirs within us a mix of awe and conspiracy. Biblical tales, prophetic towns, and even emergency planning – who knew an eclipse could hold such power over the imagination? We wrap up with a salute to the youthful exuberance of Lily's podcasting endeavors and a heartfelt appeal to support the voices of tomorrow. Don't miss out on this eclectic episode that promises to entertain, provoke thought, and maybe even alter your perception of reality.

 Go check out our guest podcast   "Makeshift Stories" it will be worth another listen. Thanks again to Alan and the team at Makeshift stories for allowing us to play a story from their podcast.

The song from Episode 3 is  "Stand In Your Love"  by Bethel Music & Josh Baldwin.

Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed by the rollercoaster of seasonal weather or the ever-evolving tech in your life? Well, imagine that feeling magnifying when it comes to the emotional weight of pedestrian tragedies in our community. In our latest Ugly Cracking Duck episode, we kindle the Valentine's Day spirit, discussing the importance of cherishing our loved ones every day, not just on special occasions. Sunny beams in with a chat about the recent splendid weather, but we all know how March likes to toy with our emotions. Meanwhile, I've been tinkering with a ribbon microphone, which led to a surprising twist in audio quality thanks to the new TASCAM Mixcast 4 board. We're eager to hear your thoughts on the sound improvements and invite you to weigh in on our sonic journey.

On a more somber note, we reflect on the heart-wrenching reality of pedestrian deaths in our locality, a stark reminder of the fragility of life. As we transition to checking the pulse of the planet through our seismic activity segment, Sunny takes a shot at guessing recent earthquake stats, maintaining the spirit of friendly rivalry in Lily's absence. Send us your guesses and join our conversation on Mother Nature's rumblings. As we sign off with gratitude and enthusiasm for what lies ahead, we're sending a special shoutout to our friend Captain for the musical flair he's lent to today's dialogue. Stay tuned, and let's ride this wave of heartfelt chatter, compelling stories, and a sprinkle of fun together.
  The Answer to our last Episode’s music challenge is Bob Dylan’s “Blowing In The Wind”. The Folk Trio I was talking about was Peter, Paul, and Mary.
  Here is a link to listen to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld6fAO4idaI

Sunshine and fog aren't usually mentioned in the same breath, but Sunny and I,  found ourselves chuckling over the peculiar mix as we kicked off Season 5, Episode 2 of the Ugly Quacking Duck podcast. This time around, I recount my latest quest to fix an outdoor antenna, which turned into a saga worth a sitcom episode. And just when you thought music couldn't get any more cryptic, we dangle a new musical challenge before you; a Bob Dylan classic covered by a folk trio that's sure to have you guessing and grooving.

While Sunny made an early exit to savor the day, the show went on with our usual camaraderie. We revisited the musical riddle from our previous episode, keeping the answer under wraps to stoke your curiosity. A clue, perhaps? The song in question is a gem that's found its way into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In a playful twist, my website cameo suggests there's more than just laughs to be had for our subscribers – who knows, they might just find themselves privy to the secrets of our musical enigma.

Closing the episode, our Earthquake Updates segment shook things up with the latest tremors that have been rocking the globe. But fear not, we balanced the seismic chatter with a hearty dose of humor, sharing a story about the shenanigans of "wild" worms that turned a bait shop upside down. As we wrapped with a nod to the future of podcast innovation and thanked our buddy captain for the tunes, we left our listeners with our heartfelt "73 and God bless," the quintessential Ugly Quacking Duck sign-off.
 The Artists from last episode was 3 Doors Down and the song was "It's Not My Time"

This is our Season 5 Episode 1. in 2024. Here we are again. Wow a new year and this month is already half way gone. It is crazy how fast it goes by. Sunny joined me again. I let him do the intro to the show. He did a great job! I had listened to a podcast by Buzz Cast the other day. They were talking about what made podcasting special. It attraction and simplicity. The podcast took me back to thoughts about why I like podcasting. I would suggest you go and listen to that podcast. Buzzsprout does that podcast "Buzz Cast" and the episode title is called There's Something Special About Podcasting. Maybe it will jar your thoughts too. We started a new challenge. Have to see how it goes.

Sunny and I had a sit down and a good discuss of our future plans for the podcast.  I looked over an outline on how to start a podcast. We used it to review the podcast and look for things we could improve on. I really enjoy making the podcast and the people we have met, however my time scheduling has change. I want to fine tune the podcast to make it more efficient when producing and uploading it. Also  we want to make it better.  Do the most with less time. Good time to do this with a new year around the corner. 
 Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! 
I want to thank all of our listeners. We appreciate all you have contributed to the show. From your time, emails, comments, and financial.  It is very appreciated and I thank God for everyone of you.  Let us not forget the guest we had on this year.
 We wish you a great Christmas and a Awesome New Year. Just in case we don't get the next podcast out before Christmas.

Rearranged the studio and couldn't wait to get some sort of audio recorded.  Sunny was in a very weird mood.  Hope you all are having a good November.

I started this episode on Wednesday the 18th and didn't get back to finishing it till Saturday evening. I am sure you have had that happen to you before. The sad thing is the extra time didn't allow me any more opportunity to put together a more robust episode. Mamma said there would be days like that. LOL.   Stretching one day into three did allow me to get the job done.  Woo Hoo.

It is all about the sound? Maybe not. I purchased a new microphone and it was delivered today.  I have been using a Rode NT1. It works great, however it is rather large. I have been eyeing the Lewitt LCT 240pro microphone for some time. It was a bit smaller and the people that used it sounded good on it. I finally broke down and purchased one of them.  This episode is about testing the new mic. I put it up against my old one.  I hope that you all will let me know how you think it holds up to my ole reliable.
Thanks again to Lucas at "Sweetwater" for great and fast service. It was here in a few days. They boxed it up and protected it well. Great Job!
