Sound Designer for too many podcasts https://bradcolbroock.com/#sound
a headline from the newsletter podcraft pointers that says 6+ hours per episode. Is that normal? ๐คฏ
please contact your doctor if your podcast lasts over 6 hours

Because all podcasting is the same and that's how employment works, apparently.

Every New Startup: We are here to revolutionize fiction podcasting. We are here to give indie fiction creators the support they need to make their shows a reality.
Fiction Podcasters: The money we need to - ?
Startup: No, not that that.
Rendering the first pass of the only episode I've worked on that can be described as "actively hostile to the listener"

Brad does INCREDIBLE work and you should hire them! I've never met a faster dialogue editor or someone more knowledgeable about obscure mics and plugins.

If you need a dialogue editor, sound designer, or mixer for your audiodrama (or other linear media) and enjoyed Dead Space: Deep Cover, Shelterwood, or Absolutely No Adventures, let's talk.

If you have one or two lines for an episode and you submit an audio file that is like ten minutes long, I'm going with the first take.
I also blame James Oliva for this.
Hey #AudioDrama voice actors, we're opening up our rosters! Do you love horror, or blood curling screams? Then this might be the place for you!

Someone's take along the lines of "in order to be indie it has to sound like it was recorded in a bedroom at best" has haunted me for years. There's absolutely no reason that independent creators can't make super polished work.

Ok, once again a reminder to audio fiction people:
An 'indie' show is a show that is made without a big studio or corporation backing it. Yes this includes The Magnus Archives and Old Gods of Appalachia. Being successful does not stop a show being independent.
The Snowball remains the single mic that I can spot by ear and unless an actor has spent 4 figures on their space it sounds atrocious every time

A two panel meme. First panel is captioned โthe worldโ and shows an inferno among ruins of civilisation. The second panel is a screen shot of a movie with Wil Ferrell in it. He looks kind of dejected and cups his mouth as if yelling. The caption says โdo you need any Sound Designโ
