Beards, Cats and Indie Game Audio

I had been trying to line this one up for awhile and it was a great fun chat to finally have. And we went long! I hope you enjoy this fun talk I had with Elise Kates, a good game audio friend from down in Seattle. As a note, I have adopted the new schedule of "when it happens" for episodes of the podcast. When I can line something up and I've got time, there will be an episode. When I'm busy, there won't. Always searching for that balance with all that I take on and have life throw at me.

My second interview from GameSoundCon 2025. I sat down with Emily Meo and chatted about daily recordings and actually talked about our cats.

Back again for a new year. Our firsts episode of 2026 is with Rev. Dr. Bradley D Meyer. Last year at GameSoundCon I managed to sit down with Brad for a conversation. End of the day we sat down outside in a sort of quiet area and talked about game audio stuff and art and guitars.

It's a month late cause I got the worst flu ever but it's finally here! I had a great conversation with Mark Kilborn where we talked about classic sounds and retro games amongst other things. As well, this will be the final episode for this year. I need a bit of a break so going to take a bit of time off. Going forward, I'm playing on each year being a 9 episode season. I'll be at GameSoundCon again this year, gathering interviews to release next year. I hope you enjoyed this season. See you next year.

Super fun chat with sound designer Martin Kvale this month. Very glad to finally do this interview.

Super fun chat with sound designer and composer Neha Patel for this episode. We talked all over the place. Sound design for Venba, composer payments, going on walks to see the neighborhood cats. https://www.nehapatelaudio.com/  

Gord's back again! We catch up on what's been going on since the last time Gord was on the podcast and answer a few listener questions.

This episode I talk with Megan Carnes (composer, implementer) who loves nerding out about interactive music systems.

My last interview from GameSoundCon 2024. I was able to sit down with Maximilien Simard-Poirier (sound designer, guitar nerd, professional French Canadian) who organizes the Interactive Audio Montreal meetups and chat about running a meetup for 7 years. https://www.interactiveaudiomontreal.com/ https://youtube.com/@interactiveaudiomontreal?si=hQhWzMP2Jres-2xL  

This month I've got a great conversation I had with Lewis Thompson and Greg Lester from Airwiggles while we were at GameSoundCon 2024. We talked about some different sound design tips and tricks and Airwiggles and drinking water (for some reason).
