First of all, no knock on Kornacki, ok? I was only trying to capture his math-teacher-on-coffee vibe.
One thing about cutting up people's voices and making them sound silly is, it's useful on people you want to ridicule. It's known as a "stutter tape". That is not my intent here, and I passed up opportunities to employ it on this piece because of my high esteem for NBC's current data nerd and elections vizier. If those old klunks in the 60s knew what kind of instant and voluminous coverage we have these days, it would be all over well before the shouting.
This was an experiment in limited processing. It's tempting, making little sound clips, to "name" them with a transcript of the clip. Not this time. Simply went through a sound file in Audacity, clipped out whatever hit the meter, and quickly pasted and tweaked them back together. (The thing about transcribing each clip as you make it, even though they're little snippets of sound, there's still an exponential amount of additional work you're creating. I'm starting to think controlling marginal increases in workload might be a thing. Make less dross.)
It's "Part 1" because it got as far as boiling down the first couple hours of a long evening. Nothing definite for additional bits. I hope you enjoy the volutiae.
