One of my all time favourite podcasts. Also loving the addition of the Dallas Taylor YouTube channel!
I love this podcast. So interesting, varied content. My teenager enjoys it my adolescent son does too he asks me mommy is there another Episode. You don’t have to know a lot about music or sound. The explanations and the way each episode is set up it walks you through the process in making each jingle, show, song, movie. The episodes are so versatile and interesting. Highly recommend. Thank you Dallas Taylor and all the Twenty thousands hertz production team.
I love this podcast. The production value is incredibly high, the interviews give the “hidden people” a voice, and I’m only ever left wanting more. …even their advertisers are ones that actually interest me!
This is a podcast all about audio. The quality of the production is the best of any I’ve heard. This is not an easy task and to replicate it every week is incredible! Keep up the great work!
My daughter turned me onto this show, and it’s brought an amazing new awareness to sound that I never had previously. Thanks Dallas Taylor and your podcast crew.
