In this engaging episode, we delve into the creative processes and philosophies of Music Composer & Music Producer Dario, who emphasizes the importance of evolving with the ever-changing sync industry. Dario discusses the significance of constantly acquiring new instruments and plugins to stay inspired and invigorate his creative process. He highlights his preference for tactile interaction with real instruments, which often sparks new ideas and unique sounds that samples cannot replicate. The conversation also covers the potential impact of AI on music, with Dario advocating for maintaining the human touch in creation, believing that AI cannot fully replicate the authenticity and emotional depth of hands-on music-making. Additionally, the episode explores Dario's experimental EP "Anomaly," a purely artistic project blending organic and synthetic elements, showcasing his ability to push creative boundaries without commercial constraints. He emphasizes the value of collaboration, working with lyricists and other musicians to enhance his projects and bring out the best in each endeavor. Reflecting on the importance of both formal education and self-taught skills, Dario encourages musicians to master core skills while exploring new technologies and techniques. Tune in to discover how Dario's insights can inspire and elevate your own musical journey. Guest Bio: Dario is composer, producer, song-writer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Los Angeles. He has a certificate in Film Scoring at UCLA Extension in Los Angeles, a bachelor degree in “Music Sciences and Technologies” at Università degli Studi di Milano, and earned several diplomas in Arrangement, Theory, and Guitar Performance from many prestigious classical and modern music academies in Milano, such as the Conservatory “G.

His work has ranged from writing and performing the theme for Ubisoft's best selling video game ‘Rocksmith', to composing the theme songs for Ambie-nominated podcasts “Bunga Bunga” and “Do No Harm” (Wondery), as well as scoring a variety of independent films, documentaries, and television shows like Hulu Original documentary "We Live Here: The Midwest" and National Geographic's "Called to the Wild.” About the Hosts: We're Sonnet Simmons and John Clinebell, 2 indie artists who have found success and creative fulfillment through licensing our music for ads, TV shows and films.  We were once so disheartened and discouraged that our music wasn't being noticed or valued through traditional methods. So we both started on a journey to find another way. For us, that “third door” was sync! And what we discovered is a lot better than we could have ever even imagined…[Find out more here] Resources From This Episode: 2Indie - Visit our website for more resources and information on how to get YOUR music signed Sync Society - Want to join our exclusive online sync community, with weekly LIVE networking and coaching calls? @2indieofficial - Follow us on Instagram Sync It!

“When we think of AI, it is a forward and a backward-looking question. ‘What's going to happen?' We don't know. ‘Have we ever not known before?' Well, every day of our history, we've not known. So there's the lesson.” - Lindsay Graham (CEO & Founder, Airship) The Media Roundtable is back! This week we're looking into the present through the lens of history. Dan Granger, (CEO & Founder, Oxford Road) hosts Lindsay Graham (not Lindsey Graham). This Lindsay is a Webby Award-winning and Ambie-nominated history podcasting superstar, a repeat Media Roundtable guest, and CEO & Founder of Airship, a podcast publishing company (American Criminal, American Scandal, American History Tellers, & more.) Together, they discuss our messy past, uncertain futures, and everything in between. Let's dig in.

What happens when a passionate broadcaster with a dream to be the next Robin Roberts transforms the media landscape for BIPOC and QTPOC creatives? Join us on "Was it Chance" as we dive into the inspiring journey of Anna DeShawn, the trailblazing force behind E3 Radio and The Qube. Discover how Anna's visionary drive and relentless pursuit of inclusivity are reshaping digital media and giving voice to those who need it most. Anna DeShawn is a celebrated multi-award and Ambie-winning podcast producer and host from Chicago, known for her pioneering work in media. She founded E3 Radio in 2009, an online station for queer music and news, and co-created The Qube, a platform for BIPOC and QTPOC creatives. Recognized by the Chicago LGBTQ Hall of Fame and Equality Illinois, Anna is a trailblazer in digital media. In our interview, Anna shares her journey from aspiring broadcaster to media innovator, discussing her passion project turned full-time gig, E3 Radio, the creation of The Qube, and her mission to amplify marginalized voices. She also reflects on the challenges of unlearning corporate behaviors, redefining success, and managing her creative flow. Check out Anna's website or Instagram.

More about Heather via @heather_vickeryandco on Instagram, @Braveheather on TikTok, and listen to The Brave Files More about Alan via @theatre_podcast on Instagram and listen to The Theatre Podcast with Alan Seales EPISODE TAKEAWAYS In 2009 Anna started E3 Radio as a radio host who wanted nothing to do with podcasting. She was a “serious” broadcaster. Anna wanted to be Robin Roberts (the only Black Woman she had ever seen doing this work) She went to school to learn how to do that and ended up working on online broadcasting in the corporate space. E3 Radio was a passion project on the side. It's important to ask yourself what is the worst-case scenario. Is that really that bad? Get a copy of The Big Leap (get a copy here!) if you're looking to step into your zone of genius. It's easier for Anna to give “of” herself than to give “to” herself and there is not enough content out there at the intersection of race and sexuality. She saw a gap and decided to fill it. The QUBE is a podcast production company and a curated platform for Black and Brown podcasts. The QUBE is to podcasting what BET was to television. Balance comes because things ebb and flow - they have to.   There has been real work in unraveling what “corporate” says is successful vs. what we actually know to be successful for us. Learn how to manage freedom. Anna works best when it's dark outside so she arranges her schedule to accommodate that. The biggest challenge for Anna has been “unlearning” bad corporate behavior. “What does success mean to me today?” It may change and be redefined over and over again. Anna had to learn to own failure because you can't have success without failure. There is no failure, only feedback. Now she sits on new ideas to see how they develop and transform.

Congratulations!!! You've been nominated for a podcast award (←that was me last month!). Would you consider yourself a podcasting success? Seems like an easy answer, but it's not. Success in podcasting - especially if you're an entrepreneur - isn't just about accolades or download numbers; it's about leveraging your platform to achieve your business goals. In this episode, we'll explore why chasing big download numbers might not be the best approach for every podcaster. I'll share insights from my own journey and real-life success stories from entrepreneurs who have redefined podcasting success on their terms. Just like preparing a nutritious meal, your podcast should provide value and nourishment to your audience, rather than just focusing on superficial metrics. I also highlight the various ways podcasting can benefit entrepreneurs, from building authority and attracting quality leads to driving sales and boosting search rankings - even with small numbers. It's about creating meaningful connections and making a lasting impact in your niche. This is all especially true if you are podcasting for your business (instead of as a business — if you don't know the difference, I explain it all in episode 75) Now, about that Ambie award nomination for the show I produce and edit, (Big Lash Energy)... it was a stark reminder that while it's nice to be nominated, it is not the end-all-be-all in podcasting success. It was a very nice feather in podcaster Jayna Marie's hat but her picture of success is oh so much bigger than this award! She is on her own path and by the way... she's the real deal! Need some help determining what success looks like for your podcast?  Maybe you need some help getting to that success. Let's connect and discuss how we can turn your podcasting dreams into reality.

Our latest podcast from Wolf at the Door Studios, THE VERY WORST THING THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN, won Best Audio Fiction from an Established Creator in 2023, and has recently been nominated for five Ambie awards. So naturally, we wanted to share. THE VERY WORST THING THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN was written and directed by Alex Kemp, writer/director of The Imperfection and Modes of Thought in Anterran Literature. This 9 part limited series follows Raul's life in Hong Kong as it is turned upside down when he discovers that he can exchange letters with Sara Cloutier, an erotic fiction writer who's been dead for thirty years. On the run from mysterious forces, Sara and Raul race to meet ‘in the middle,' in a life-changing attempt to find meaning in a broken and absurd world. We hope you love our latest work, the finale of THE VERY WORST THING THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN is set to be released 3/1/24. You can catch up on the rest of the show here: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/vwt Also, come hang out with us wherever you hang out online! We're @watdstudios on all platforms and we hang around r/audiodrama quite a bit. Thanks for listening from all of us at Wolf.
