I used to prefer gas appliances and was grumpy when so many of our Airbnbs has these kinds of burners. But then I saw this video from Climatetown and am shutting the heck up. I especially love the color of the “flame” from this burner in Rome, Italy. This is my husband’s sexy moka pot that he bought there.
Hi Wavie,
I hope you had a lovely weekend. There’s a full newsletter issue coming to ya later this week, so I’m making this Monday check-in super quick.
As always, feel free to hit REPLY to ask me anything. Love hearing from you all!

Silence in audio: Jar Audio
Love the sensible, emotional, and specific technical aspects of this article. If you’ve ever wondered, how much silence should I cut out of audio: read this.
GPE Live Chats
Yea so Marcus’ media handle is @meonlylouder and without spaces, sigh, I was reading it as meonly louder. Hmm. So when he said it’s, “me only louder” with the backstory, I shared my confusion and the below moment ensued.
But I promise you this was way late in the conversation. We actually hit on many useful moments such as Nick’s de-essing struggles, Marcus’ client communication angst, Jessica’s chair conundrums, and my service package frustration. Here’s a breakdown. You can watch the YouTube video or enjoy it on audio on your favorite podcast app under “Global Podcast Editors”.
