Hosted by Michael, this podcast features informative and engaging conversations with industry professionals from around the world.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is its casual and conversational format. Michael has a knack for making his guests feel at ease, which leads to open and honest discussions. I particularly enjoy when he asks about worst on-set experiences or forgotten equipment because it provides a sense of relatability for listeners. It's reassuring to know that even experienced professionals make mistakes sometimes, and it helps foster a sense of community among fellow mixers.

    While it's difficult to find any major downsides to The Location Sound Podcast, one minor criticism could be that there are currently only two episodes available.

Hopefully, more episodes will be released soon so listeners can continue to benefit from the valuable information shared by Michael and his guests.

    In conclusion, The Location Sound Podcast is an absolute gem for anyone interested in audio, film, or technology.
