Its been a long couple months of preparing to start a new job (which I am oh so very excited about) plus enduring the Cumulus move in Dallas, in my current job. So, after taking a little time away from talking to the paramount figures in Radio Imaging and Voiceover I am back with a really fun interview. Matt Fisher at BBC-Radio 1 in the UK is the guest. He is actually one of 6 different...

For Matt I posted all the audio he sent me. The DEMO file is long and has some duplication so you may want to hear the others first.

I always like to inform my fellow producers about cool new services. And….here is a cool new service!
SD-Depot from Chris Fonte: I have respected Chris’ work for quite some time and this was a refreshing nugget to stumble across. I asked him a little about it. It’s a constantly updated service with a monthly fee (or pay a little more for a single month). You can also...

I am very grateful to be joined by John Willyard this month. He is the longtime voice of Country Radio. I say that as an obvious generalization because when you talk about the “sound” of country radio and the station voices that are used, he is at the very top of the list and used by the biggest and most important stations around the country. John is not limited to country...

Part 2 continues with John Willyard. The intro audio is from K-Bull 93FM which he has been a part of for a very long time and demonstrates some of his range and also what a pretty creative PD can do on a country station, if he isn’t afraid of barriers.

Headshot of Rick Allen
Rick Allen has been oft requested and now finally a guest on the show. In fact if it weren’t for a lost email a couple years ago he would have already been a guest. Technology! This was a really fun and informative interview for me. I love waxing on the past and to do so with a guy like Rick was a unique experience. This episode comes in 3 parts and each...

Another look at the gun shot session set-up
In Part 2 with Rick Allen I take things in to the present talking more about the current landscape of modern radio and production. I tried to play a little devils advocate as to why we shouldn’t just expect people to produce 7 stations in one radio group with ZERO time to create and Rick gives plenty of reasons why this is bad practice. We...

Rick standing in one of the culverts.
This is the final part of the Rick Allen interview. We talked about so much and also realized….we talked about SO MUCH! So we did end up bringing the episode to a conclusion.
Mainly I took things a little deeper into the technical world speaking very specifically about the tools he uses and some of his signature tricks.
I hope to speak with Rick...

I picked up a new client, which is totally awesome, but I really wanted to share the first batch of stuff for a few reasons. First check out the female VO. That’s Christine Fung who is in L.A. at KROQ and various other outlets. I think she is great and really unique. She doesn’t know it yet, but she will also be a guest on my podcast someday in the future. Also, I like the...

Stew Herrera is the guest and he brings a wide-range of skills to the table. He has been at KLOS in Los Angeles for…a long time…which is rare in today’s radio climate. Stew is a very easy guy to talk to and seems to be able to put everything he does into very relate-able terms. Basically, I think this episode will be one of the more valuable ones to the younger talent...
