get ready for some sound reporting

As you all know, we're rotating to a new section of the multimedia
reporting class this week, and it looks like you all are heading to my
"slice" on audio storytelling.

We'll be jumping right in and doing some recording in class on Friday,
so you'll need to bring a digital recorder (and any connection cables
to upload audio) and a pair of headphones (even earbuds will do).
Though we might not have made this clear at the outset, you might need
to buy a digital recorder for this part of the course (should be under
$100 to get a low-end one). There are only a couple of audio recorders
available for loan at Tawes, so unfortunately check-out might be difficult. Or
many of you probably already have a recorder or can borrow one from a
friend. If you are buying a recorder, make sure to get one that can
save files in a standard audio format (.mp3 or .wav or .aiff).
