An hour and 25 minutes in Pauls Mic dies, I have tried my best to make him as clear as I can from what my mic picked up, it's noticeable initially but does get easier to listen to for the 10 or so minutes it took for me to realise. If I can fix it, I'll update the audio. If I can't, you'll have to soldier through. You can find all things Paul Cowland Here ..read more
