Links: Notes: Now that Carrie has her own lapel microphone, we can really hear the stereophonics in the 480p recordings, and ironically, they appear inverted. In otherwords, although Carrie is sitting on the right, you'll hear her out your left speaker if watching one of the stereo feeds. We'll make sure to have that fixed right away.
