It is! We run the audio through Levelator to bring up the quieter voices and then run it through Adobe Podcast to enhance it. You would be horrified to hear the unedited audio 🤣
It used to be a normal thing, regardless of what event the children were attending, the parents would very often take a handful of kids home. *edited my phone's autocorrect Nowadays everyone is so self-absorbed.
Oh please... it's not about being self-absorbed as to why they stopped but rather these groups often became the adult version of Mean Girls or dealing with The Harper Valley PTA. Most people didn't want to deal with constant politics, competition, judgements and gossip. It was especially difficult if you weren't a cookie cutter fit to whatever was the norm in that community... so, the type of clique could widely vary but inevitably, there would always be a clique and they could go mad with power... becoming the ultimate kevins and karens and trying to dictate how you should raise your kid, for the good the school, for the good of the community, for the good of the nation and the entire bloody world. And, let's be real, it's also in that last twenty years, there's a lot more of those hyper protective, micromanaging, strict parents that have a long list of dos and don'ts... that nobody wants to deal with either especially when it negatively impacts the liberties of everyone else in the vehicle. And of course, you also have those less than stable guardians that believe it's a foothold into taking advantage of you and become a liability, a potential threat or lawsuit. . . unable, unwilling and otherwise incapable of providing their fair share. Let alone that each individual school has it's own variety of practices that make informal carpooling difficult.. and sometimes require other parents, guardians, to take on more responsibilities than being just a chauffeur... which may end up with you being the go to person to call when there's an emergency and they can't get a hold of anyone else.. some people aren't ready for that kind of commitment for someone they only recently met. or it's just the headache of filling out more paperwork than you had to do for your first loan... or even worse, when the school wants to formalize your carpool and it becomes another job you hate. Also, you don't win over people you'd like to help by suggesting most of them are too self-absorbed to get involved. If we're going to get into those kind of measuring contests, then I'll need the long, long, long list of all the places you volunteer. And no, neither protesting nor fundraising nor sharing hashtags on your social media, counts. . . if you're not willing to do the unglamorous but necessary jobs of just emptying out the bin, can you even call yourself a volunteer instead of selfabsorbed virtue signaling wannabe.. a deb, a heather, a mean girl/bro.

@@KieroSi**edit I am not surprised to see a post like yours. You need to know I couldn't care less about winning people over. Secondly there isn't any "measuring contest" other then the one in your head. I mean, Wow look at all yor justifications. All I see is me. Me. Me. I. Me Nice try. It's all lies and politics. People became self absorbed with a "ME" mentality. Just. Like. Yours. Helping your neighbors is how everyone should roll. I am disgusted by your post. I hope you can get over yourself sooner than later.
less children in public places and on transport for a few hours every day through most of the week... the collective going back to school parties and brief cycle of parents/guardians... treating back to school as if it was the start of their own summer. Pink Flamingo Rhythm Revue - Back To School Anyway, completely unsolicited advice... moving to vlogging from podcasting, you need to get some things all the wall and on the shelves, adjust the camera, so you're zoomed in at least waist high.. center and level. Now if you wanted to do fuller body, you can examine other "In Bed" interviewers and podcasters, but it's a novelty racket... so, I would be inclined to say you need to plot this from the bottom up. And think about your socks, your clothes, your bedding, the furnishings... it doesn't have to be high price but you can start prepping it to expand into other genres like unboxing and clothing haul videos (i.e. affiliate marketing), DIY furnishings and crafting projects, family activities, and eventually merchandising, branding.. you know there's family podcasters on here that have retailers selling their own family game night card and board games... among numerous other things. There's a great many discount stores for clothing, they're popular with the haul videos here.. affiliate marketing can help you out while you're trying to become established enough for patreon, gain enough viewers to make monetization worthwhile or attract more formal sponsorship. You need not become the qvc/hsn, but you providing links in your description to a couple key items shown in each episode may provide some chump change. And even if you're not into earning for this series, well, it's the kind of thing that keeps you motivated to continue to do shows and improve, gives you another set of measures to gauge how your channel might be doing. For most people viewing videos or shorts, this is less more of a subconscious attraction.... and the mommy market is one of the most critical and judgmental. It's very difficult to break into.. if you aren't willing to play the part of a glamazon for their sake. (see "The Ladies Who Lunch - Stereo - Elaine Stritch - Company Original Cast Recording" or ""The Ladies Who Lunch" with Meryl Streep, Christine Baranski & Audra McDonald (Official Video)" - some social inanities, despite all the protests against them, remain timeless. You also might be helped when using that mic to either set it closer or try to DIY it into a directional mic.. a cone or otherwise trying to focus towards you may help. Though, you should look into getting individual bluetooths you can each wear discretely because you're both kind of low energy, chill, soft spoken lasses... and that makes it all that much harder for people to hear you clearly and for the automated subtitles to function. There's many great quiet voices that enter into this arena, but most of them don't grow channels and end up bailing pretty quickly. "How to Talk to Kids about Labels and Diversity with Irshad Manji" You might be playing the exhibitionist to the voyeurs, but you're still speaking to an audience here... you need to engage them and their senses.
