If you’re interested in inside stories on the technical side of how records are made then this is the podcast for you. Stellar guests that have made amazing records over the last 4-5 decades interviewed by guys who are recording engineers and know what questions to ask. This allows the guests to feel comfortable and lends itself to fun, insightful conversation. Stewart and John know how to get the discussion rolling and then out of the way. Excellent. Tony Visconti, Jack Douglas, Shelley Yakkus,... more
As a sound engineer in a former life (perhaps my biggest claim to fame being having my ass fired as a tea boy from Trident in their less glorious mid-eighties years!) I’ve been thoroughly enjoying this podcast. The war stories, studio histories, tales of the making of classic albums – it’s all there plus John and Stewart are a total gas. Hard recommend!
Covers just the right grounds to keep novices and experts of recording engaged at once. The hosts aren’t obsessed with hearing themselves talk like other music podcasters. Interview choices are impeccable. They’re actual veterans of the trade, and having come from the east coast rock scene, everything they say feels so near and dear.
The stories, techniques, and gear knowledge shared in this podcast are invaluable. Thank you so much guys for doing this!
Can’t wait for next episode!
These guys are so great—great for stories, history, gear... and laughs. They’ve pushed me to love different music and hear everything differently.
