I've got a new microphone for my LG V20.  I had been using the microphone that came with the cellphone but it picked up a lot of ambient sound.  So, I bought this uni-directional mic to improve the quality of the broadcasts.  I noticed that the background noise is kept to a minimum but there are some popping and clicking noises present.  I think it may be that the mic is not making good contact when I move the cellphone around.  Either that or I need a pop-filter.  In any case the latest episode of Story Time was the law that instructs one to appeal to another person's self-interest when asking for help.  The theory is that everyone will be more motivated to help if they can see how it is in their best interests to do so.  I had a personal experience that illustrates this idea well.  I was parked in a parking lot and a man asked me to move my car to a different spot because he was expecting a moving truck to arrive and was concerned that my car would be in the way.  I didn't see the need to move my car because the lot was rather large and I told him so.  He responded by offering me $20.00 to move my car...guess what?
