The Podcast Engineering Show

Chris Curran chats with podcasters and audio experts about their equipment, software, and workflow. You will learn step-by-step how to produce podcasts, solutions to common audio issues, and plenty of tips.  You will glean A TON of audio engineering knowledge and skills that will make a HUGE difference in the quality of your sound, and save you a lot of time. Your host has a background in podcast production (Forbes, Dun & Bradstreet, J&J, etc) as well as music production (Sarah McLachlan, Jeff Buckley, Foreigner, etc). When he entered podcasting about 7 years ago, he noticed that most podcasters (and producers) do not have a solid understanding of fundamental audio engineering concepts, which sabotages the quality of their sound from the very beginning.This show, as well as the Podcast Engineering School, helps producers and podcasters reach professional levels of podcasting. Check it out!
