Got up one morning and recorded a fairly typical morning on my iRiver. Granted, not the most exciting thing, listening in on our (me and the boys) morning, but perhaps you can provide some insight into your morning too and anything you may find that I can do to speed up the morning or improve on it. Plus, I am surprise at how well the sound quality came out. It/'s like reality Podcasting!!
