  • Decent content by poor presenting

    Tonees of F bombs right out of the gate, pretty self indulgent host. Not fun to listen to.

    I just finished listening to episode 247. You guys…. I soooooo appreciated your advice on work-life balance.

    My 18-year-old son will be starting an audio engineer and production school in the fall. My husband has his own company, to which I sometimes think my son does not know there is such a thing as a vacation (we haven’t done many).

    Both father and son love to work, and I love them both, and like to try to keep their brains intact.

    Your words are priceless, and helpful to me who is ... more

    Good content. The dramatic volume difference between participants and laughter straight into microphone is distracting.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

326. Part 2 Of “Anything & Everything” On AV Networking With Chris Lapp
Q: From an audio/broadcast perspective, how does SMPTE 2110 work in terms of syncing and clocking, and how does it compare to Dante?
The guest explains that SMPTE 2110 uses similar clocking concepts to Dante, with PTP-based synchronization, and that while there are differences in implementation (e.g., ATP for Dante and similar approaches for 2110), the core idea is ensuring synchronized timestamps across devices so streams can be reassembled coherently.
324. Matt Dale & Donny Kuser Of SoundBase
Q: What problem were you solving when you first built SoundBase?
We aimed to replace disparate workflows like Google Sheets and PDFs with a centralized, collaborative platform that could handle coordination, inventory, and sharing information across a show site, reducing chaos and miscommunication.
321. Q&A With The Audience, The Finale (For Now)
Q: What's your routine for decompressing after a show?
Decompression varies, but most of them opt for low-stimulation activities like reading, listening to a calm podcast, or watching something engaging, with a preference for winding down before sleep to avoid adrenaline crashes.
317. Q&A With The Audience, Part 2
Q: How do you find mentors or mentorship at higher levels of your career?
Look to peers and professionals doing the work you want to learn, and reach out to them through their websites or social media.
317. Q&A With The Audience, Part 2
Q: Can you freelance while being part of a union?
It depends on the local union rules; some allow freelancing while others may require notification or restrict work outside the union's jurisdiction.
