The Future IS Audio podcast

The Future IS Audio

Theatre of the Mind is real, and great audio is where the magic starts. In this show long-time Podcaster and Pro Audio Editor Josh Liston wants to share both his love and appreciation for the audio medium (Podcasting, Audiobooks, Audio-dramas, and Voice-Over) as well as share all the lessons he's learned in his 13+ years in Podcasting that have helped him make better (and more sustainable) shows. We're here to help you make great audio programs. To be clear, we're not anti-Video Podcasting over here, we're just pro Audio-first Podcasting.
