To celebrate the (official) 100th show of my now 8 year old podcast I set out to create the most International audio program about the current state of Radio Imaging. I asked about 40 radio pros to talk about radio imaging. Simple right? We discuss why we do it, the future […]
Not too often do I write up a post about a new AC Radio SFX product. They exist but are often over shadowed by the big CHR or more aggressive content. Adam Venton via his Little Monster Media brand has released BUBBLEFUZZ. I am happy to write up a post […]

Programming Note: No, you did not miss Episode 100. I had planned to line it up with my trip to Europe BUT I actually did a couple bonus episodes so I’ve brilliantly traveled forward to 101 today. NEXT, in October, I will create and post a “100th Podcast Extravaganza Show” – and […]
It was not quite ONE year ago today when one of the highest profile Imaging jobs on earth opened up. Dave Foxx left iHeart/NYC – Z100 and KTU – after almost (or more than??) 30 years on the job. I immediately started asking some friends on the inside (including Dave) […]
Another high level and still continually rising voice-talent is featured on the show. Chad Erickson is a big name in the world of Radio Imaging Voiceover but he is also found all over your TV box with promo work heard on CBS, Fox, CNN, ESPN College Basketball, Steve Harvey and many, MANY […]
What a horrible title!! I don’t know how to even categorize this and its admittedly a very simple concept but I wonder if others haven’t been doing it…if not it will save you TIME, future headaches and drive space. Scenario: You make a football promo on Monday for “STATION A.” It […]
Just got word that Tom Baker, that college puke (I mentioned HERE) who thinks he’s a professional Sound Designer, has officially released his first SFX package. On the first day of school too! All joking aside I asked him for more info, a link…and if he was going to offer […]
My (internet) friend, who I am sure I will actually meet IRL someday, Adam Venton has elevated his efforts with his Production business, blog, sound design etc over at littlemonstermedia.co.uk/ Looks like he’s going to put a sizable effort into everything but really what got my attention…he mentioned ME. Never hurts 😉 But seriously […]
I don’t like to label someone as “The guy from…” or “The person you know as…” in reference to what they do – but in this case, as far as Radio Imaging Voices, Howard Cogan is as connected to ONE specific brand as anyone. Howard is the well known voice of […]
Tom Baker checks in with a cool new sound design product. COLLEGIATE FX. For now…he is just TEASING us with the Freshman 15. http://tombakerradio.com/fx-sign-up/ Go there, sign up, get free noises. From Tom: The Freshman 15 is a free sampler pack of 15 Imaging FX that will be featured in […]
The not so new Imaging Director (about 1 year in now) is Miles Hlivko. YEP…Another major talent to come out of Ohio, and more specifically, Cleveland. He was at WMMS for years elevating to APD in 2013.
Not much to add in text form. This is a long demo of great content CK gave me. There is more. MUCH more, ask him! IF the player fails (WordPress player be buggy lately) CLICK THIS ENTIRE LINE
CK, Kyle, Cowboy – whatever you call him – Cowboy Kyle is the Imaging Director at WUSY – US 101 in Chattanooga. CK also images over 20 country stations nationwide including New Orleans, Louisville, Lexington, Indianapolis, Augusta, Des Moines, Wichita, and several more. He KILLS it by knowing the audience, […]
I’ve mentioned the audio experts at Dallas Audio Post before and by extension, their Echo Collective brand – they record highly technical, high quality audio including custom sound kits and instruments for design, film, trailer, and RADIO. Some of their releases are way too detailed for radio or at least too detailed […]
Been way too long since I wrote up a simple, unassuming blog post. I typically try to save the blog for something of real value, whether free or discounted product, or just great info. AND today I keep it going BUT it’s FREE product x 25! That’s right, 25 free […]
Creative Director at Studio Brussel in Belgium, part of VRT, Steven Lemmens has an outstanding mindset and skillsetfor radio creative and station branding. He specifically crafts the sound of Studio Brussel but works as part of a large team within the company where everyone is encouraged to wear many hats. […]
AUDIO: THE PLAYER ABOVE IS HAVING ISSUES ON SOME PLATFORMS/BROWSERS – HERE ARE THE FILES – ONE BY ONE (UGLY BUT FUNCTIONAL – I HOPE)
Sometimes you just have a great chat with a great talent. Larry MacInnis has been at the center of some large scale creative. In fact if you are in Canada you’ve heard of CHUM-FM, of course. Or maybe specifically Toronto, you’ve heard the Al Palladini’s Pinetree Lincoln-Mercury spots? Experience, skill, […]
VIDEO: AUDIO: IF THE AUDIO PLAYER IS NOT SHOWING UP BELOW TRY HERE
Fact: We all love Dave Foxx but THIS is fun! I’ll let the video do it’s job re informational purposes but looks like we are getting some early info about The Imaging Days 2016. LOVE this event, highly recommend it! Press releases is below as well… TIP: Plan early so you […]
The guys from The Arabian Radio Network in Dubai took time out of their busy schedules to do a group interview. While there are many talented producers at ARN I spoke with three including AJ Traspaderme (originally from Canada), Vinay Rao (India) and Heinie Hartendorp (Philippines). Because of the diversity on […]
The Guys – (L to R) Heinie, Vinay and AJ Full Audio Demos: AJ – www.ajflipside.com Heinie Vinay
Wow. I use that expensive three-letter-public-college-degree-having word to start this post because Jeff DELIVERED. First, Jeff Schmidt is a San Francisco based Imaging Producer and musician working at the station level, the national level, the service level and he is a highly skilled sound designer for radio, video, web AND […]
