    A comparison episode

    1963 Encyclopedia Britannica's entry on Colette

    & then the Wikipedia page's entry

    Wikipedia is much more expansive and thorough. It takes less narrative leeway with describing which I found interesting. I would think the encyclopedia britannica would by dryer, but its prose itself had more character.

    Over the rest of the year I'll work on audio quality. I use a program which has AI capabilities to clean up audio, but I intentionally don't utilize it. I don't think every work needs to be optimized. But I will in other ways attempt to improve quality.
