2024 MILEAGE - 1068.8

In recent years, a major broadcasting project has sprung into being—a highly regarded presentation of the stories and characters found in the Gospels. Called The Chosen, it is spoken of highly, but I had not seen any of it. Now it is streamed free, however (on the chosen.tv), so I decided to begin getting familiar with it.

Today I watched the first episode of the first season (three seasons have been released so far). However, my experience was marred by two factors combining to make the soundtrack unintelligible to me. (1) For the first 20 minutes of my ride, the chain on the cycle was clanking and clattering horrendously. (2) The sound (even with my phone's volume turned all the way up) is what I would call modest and restrained at best, with the dialogue usually soft and employing accents.

Since after the first 20 minutes things improved dramatically, I am going to give it another try tomorrow, rewatching the same episode, to see if I can follow it better. And I think I will try using earbuds also, which should help.

This gave me a ride of 13.7 virtual miles in 54 minutes.
