I am unaffected by the recording quality, because of my hearing loss. That being said, is it possible to read a transcript of these coffee klatchs? As you cover any number of topics that I am interested in learning about.
oh hey, Heather and Robert, not to worry in the least I delight in your podcast Robert I know you might not need a seventh career, but there is a wonderful chemistry between you and Heather you could go primetime!

Please don't give it a second thought. We're all human. It was well worth it to hear you both, as always! Actually, I wonder if occasional bumpy audio is good for the brain...a different kind of "puzzle" so to speak (or listen, hah)? Novelty and unexpectedness are good mental challenges. Robert, I really liked your comment in a previous Klatch about not rushing to Google. I had not thought of that. I agree with you, and if your incredible recall is any measure, it is an effective tool.
I would vastly prefer to read transcripts than sit and listen on the computer or phone. Transcripts are free online now! Until you provide transcripts I will miss your conversations and classes, just so you know. I pay for a subscription and would like to READ your words! Thanks, Lou
I asked ChatGPT where does the the expression ‘coffee klatch’ come from:
The expression "coffee klatch" originates from the German word "Kaffeeklatsch," which combines "Kaffee" (coffee) and "Klatsch" (gossip or chit-chat). It refers to a social gathering where friends or acquaintances come together to enjoy coffee and engage in informal conversation. The term gained popularity in the United States, particularly during the mid-20th century, when informal coffee gatherings became a common social activity for women in their homes or local coffee shops. These gatherings provided an opportunity for people to catch up, exchange news, and engage in casual conversation. Today, the term "coffee klatch" is still used to describe such social gatherings centered around coffee and conversation.
While it wasn’t the ‘Segway’ I was looking for to roll into what I was thinking and come up with a funny caption to capture a moment, I will offer that it’s the casual quality of these klatches that I keep me coming back to. So much seriousness does not lead anywhere worth ending up at.
@Robert Reich--I listened through anyway, and think I got a lot of it, even as it was, but will be happy to review it in a smoother form, once you've got it ready. Thank you!

Not to worry! We are on your side! It was just those AI guided high tech bots from the Chicago School of Economics messing with your wifi system!

When you talk about republicans, you get a lot of static!

It’s says a lot about you that your fans just kept listening until the end anyway. You’re easy to forgive. Thanks for all you do!
Sometimes tech just has bad days. I'm still grateful for your two sane voices in these mad times!
It was still worth listening to the end.🥰
Thank you for your time! No apologies ever ;)
It's all good.
When someone is as brilliant as you are, there is no need to apologize!
