Loved this one. I would agree with the priest your wrote with when he said your English is great. I listened to the podcast for two months before I realized that you weren't an American living in the Netherlands, but were actually Dutch! You have a great lexicon and great pronunciation. I disagree with that priest about his English being poor, though. I think it is just impressive how many languages many priests seem to have a firm knowledge of. It has inspired me to dive back into a subject I studied in high school, but have since abandoned- spanish! Thanks for the inspiration. God Bless! Hey Father! Loved this one.

I was in Rome in March and the show took me back there. Thank you for your traveling shows. They are great.

Father, your "remotes" always sound so good and balanced. I'm wondering what kind of settings you use on your Zoom H2. Do you use auto gain control? Do you set the mic gain to high? You never hear your hand on the machine. Do you use the mic stand holder to hand hold it? If you manually set your record level, where do you start? Do you use the windscreen? I never hear wind noises or popping. Not everyone knows how to talk "over" the microphone to avoid the "P" popping. I'd appreciate some help since I never seem to get my settings correct.

Do you use the windscreen? I never hear wind noises or popping. Not everyone knows how to talk “over” the microphone to avoid the “P” popping.

I’d appreciate some help since I never seem to get my settings correct.

Professor Marc should not worry about his English-he speaks very well and it was enjoyable to hear him talk with you about the various parts of the city where you were running as well as his experiences teaching and with communications. I believe the movie you were thinking of is "Three Coins in the Fountain", which seemed to start everyone throwing the coins in. There was also a song that went "Three coins in the fountain, which wish will come true?" :) Thanks for including us in your trip to Rome with the podcasts! Bonita Great podcast!

Roderick! Professor Marc was a great guide on the way! It was in the early 70's when I visited Rome with my social worker co-workers and friends and this podcast brought back so many memories. We were young and were running too...but usually to get away from the Roman young men eager to embrace us girls! (Really, in those days, and probably now also, they were very sweet, friendly and harmless.) Did you notice that at the end of the run you were not out of breath when closing the show? So you must be in good shape! Keep it up! What a great run Fr. Roderick! Professor Marc was a great guide on the way!
