I'm looking for the episode (or even better, a single clip) where Lazarbeam says "I wanna say slurs"

Going to a gig here soon and I am currently waiting for my new ID to arrive and had to send my old one off. Literally going to see my favourite artist so will do anything to get in. Literally have my birth certificate as a last resort. Does anyone have any experience here? What's security like? Do they tend to require everyone to have ID regardless of age? I am 32 and the concert is 14+ and I am (very sadly) very visibly over 30. Do you think this'll be an issue?

A few years ago, a colleague was moved onto my team. At the time, I was told it was because there wasn’t much else for her to do. I later found out, informally, that the real reason was that other teams refused to work with her. She is meant to handle the operational side: scheduling, admin, paperwork, files, chasing actions, etc. In reality, a lot of it falls to me.

I build the schedules, then pass them to her so she can put them into “official” docs. I get chased by external people about unpaid invoices/paperwork she was meant to process. Urgent tasks sit for days with “it’s on my list”. Recent example: we needed her to send a simple but urgent document to an external company so a project could continue. A week later, it still hasn't been sent.

We’re also hiring someone who will report to me, but I wasn’t included in the initial planning call. When interviews were ready, she wanted to delay them because she prefers not to have meetings at that time, despite a tight start date and candidates having notice periods.

She also runs a side business, which often seems to spill into work time. Last year, she took two weeks of "medical leave" while posting pictures of herself in a jacuzzi drinking champagne, while the rest of us covered her work. I know health issues aren’t always visible, but it felt tone-deaf to post that knowing we'd all see it.

My manager tells me to be understanding because she may have ADHD. I’m fine with reasonable adjustments, but not with “adjustments” meaning I quietly absorb the core parts of someone else’s job. Because I’m described as reliable, everything defaults to me. The projects don’t fail, but only because I do 14 hour days to keep catching the gaps.

How do I raise this formally without it sounding like I’m just bitching about a colleague? Should I go to my manager first, or HR?

Not just a low effort cheap mic post. Looking for something very specific. I’m looking for a sanity check from people who actually record dialogue/VO, because I’m trying not to buy the wrong bit of cheap gear for the third time.

I work professionally in animation, but this is for an independent animated project I’m building outside of my day job. The aim is to start on YouTube and keep the production pipeline clean enough that it could plausibly be repurposed for broadcast/streaming delivery later. I’m not trying to pretend a £60 setup is a proper studio. I’m trying to work out the least stupid way to record usable character dialogue when the budget is basically nonexistent.

The target spec I need to hit is:

• mono dialogue
• 24-bit / 48 kHz WAV or BWF
• no clipping
• no baked-in noise reduction/AGC/“voice enhancement”
• clean enough that it doesn’t immediately sound like bedroom USB mic audio
• ideally something that won’t cause obvious QC problems later

I understand the room and performance matter. I’m mainly trying to avoid solving the file spec while making the actual audio sound worse.

Budget:

• painful target: around £60
• could maybe stretch to £80 if the difference is genuinely meaningful
• used gear is totally fine if it’s a sensible risk

I’m not expecting Netflix-quality results from this. Just trying to find the most defensible low-budget chain for clean animated dialogue, and to understand what I can get away with. I appreciate good sound costs money, that's why it's good. I really wish my budget stretched further but it's just really difficult at the moment financially.
