Abstract:
Podcasts are an exciting opportunity for those of us in the audio world. Listenership increases yearly , companies dedicated solely to podcast production are springing up left and right, and a new audience is falling in love with listening. As a result, the traditional broadcast roles of audio engineer, sound designer, and producer are morphing and blending, so we must find ways to position ourselves as a valuable resource. Experimentation is rampant and there is more possibility than ever for creating engaging sound — but our audience is listening in challenging environments! Nonetheless we continue to push our art forward. This panel of experts will deal with these topics as well as discuss the craft of sound design and the challenges of mixing for the podcast audience.
