Please Verify You’re 18, And Also Your Soul

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1759881/open_sms">Click Here,Text Us,Get a Shout-Out next episode.</a>This Episode recorded and rendered on Reaper DAW.Hit play on a cozy, candid ride through creative tinkering, 80s nostalgia, and the kind of gratitude that only grows after a hard season. We start in the studio where we stress-test a new workflow, recording in Reaper and Audacity at the same time to chase better sound without risking the show. That practical look at tools and trade-offs opens into a broader conversation about making independent media in a value-for-value world—keeping the feed free, leaning on community, and learning in public. From there we move to the table—Thanksgiving memories, a second quiet dinner at home, and a cat that insists on a cameo. Music threads it all together. We found WSQK, a Stranger Things–themed internet radio station that spins 80s tracks and sly story nods, and it turned into an all-day soundtrack. The nostalgia isn’t just fun; it’s a mood shaper. That sets up a timely dive into why singing helps your health, pulling from BBC reporting on reduced stress, steadier heart rate, group bonding, and the simple joy of joining in rather than just listening. We also chew on a science headline: the oldest sequenced RNA from a woolly mammoth calf frozen in Siberian permafrost. It’s a fascinating claim that deserves both curiosity and caution, so we unpack what RNA can reveal, what speculation might overreach, and how to love science without surrendering our questions. The emotional center lands in a personal story of recovery after a 2019 stroke—losing speech, movement, everyday skills—and the slow return of strength through prayer, rehab, family, and time. Gratitude shifts from a holiday word to a lived practice, and that’s the heartbeat carrying us forward. Want to be part of the flock? Share a thought, send a voicemail, or drop us a line. If this conversation moved you, follow, share with a friend, and leave a review so others can find the show.

Two DAWs Walk Into A Studio And A Cat Interrupts

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1759881/open_sms">Click Here,Text Us,Get a Shout-Out next episode.</a>A simple question sets the tone: what are you thankful for? We lean into the heart of Thanksgiving with real talk about gratitude, grief, and the quiet kind of joy that shows up even when life feels thin. From travel prayers to table rituals, we trace the holiday’s roots across cultures and the way harvest traditions still whisper to us now. Faith makes an appearance, not as a lecture, but as an honest thanks to the Creator and an open invitation to anyone who needs a little hope this week. Then we turn the dial to the modern frontier: an AI country act called Breaking Rust climbing a digital chart. We break down the song’s polish and the uncanny gap where breath should be, asking whether music needs human imperfection to feel true. Is chart success a mirror or smoke? Are follower counts inflated or earned? You’ll hear a candid debate that balances curiosity with skepticism, and a clear call for your take. If you’ve listened to Walk My Walk, we want to know what you hear—and what you don’t. Between the moments of reflection and the AI debate, we roll up our sleeves in the studio: rescuing old hardware with Linux Lite and Mint, running Umbrel for a home server, and stress-testing a Raspberry Pi for recording. It’s a small stand for openness, tinkering, and making the most of what you have, rooted in the same value for value ethos that keeps our show free and listener-powered. If you need a warm voice for the drive or a nudge to name your blessings, pull up a chair. If this resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and drop us a note with your thoughts on AI in music and what you’re thankful for.

We lean into the heart of Thanksgiving with real talk about gratitude, grief, and the quiet kind of joy that shows up even when life feels thin. From travel prayers to table rituals, we trace the holiday’s roots across cultures and the way harvest traditions still whisper to us now. Faith makes an appearance, not as a lecture, but as an honest thanks to the Creator and an open invitati...

Thanksgiving, Giving Thanks And Singing AI

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1759881/open_sms">Click Here,Text Us,Get a Shout-Out next episode.</a>Sunshine after a brush with snow set the tone for a free-ranging ride that starts local and climbs straight into orbit. We celebrate 25 years of continuous life aboard the International Space Station, tip our caps to Mir’s overlooked legacy, and swap stories about chasing auroras sparked by double CMEs. A quick quake roundup keeps us grounded, while a candid update on an AI hosting glitch and a chaotic schedule shows the real-life mess behind making a weekly, value-for-value show. Then comes the hinge: China’s new rule that influencers must prove credentials to speak on medicine, law, education, or finance. It sounds like public safety. It feels like narrative control. We unpack how “misinformation” becomes a lever for centralizing authority, why badges can inform but shouldn’t silence, and how free societies risk copying the same playbook under friendlier branding. Expect clear definitions, tough questions, and a practical case for personal agency—turning off bad speech rather than outlawing it. To cool things down, we share the unexpected joy of the Supernatural official cookbook, savor the latest Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, and peek at a newly unveiled humanoid robot slated to greet customers in 2026. We wrap with nerdy audio talk: new drive, fresh installs, Audacity quirks, and the endless hunt for cleaner sound. If you value open access, curious conversation, and a show that says the quiet part out loud, you’re in the right feed. Tap follow, share with a friend, and leave a review to keep this conversation wide open.<a rel="payment" href="https://theuglyquackingduck.com/support-our-podcast/">Support the show</a> I hope you enjoy the show!
