Kate Astrakhan – PES 003

I discuss podcast audio production in-depth with Kate Astrakhan, podcast producer.

Kate Astrakhan – PES 003

My guest is Kate Astrakhan, Owner of Audio Adrenaline! Kate also hosts the Make Your Bed podcast. She has a ton of experience in radio and voiceovers – including that famous Greyhound commercial on which she sang, “Go Greyhound and leave the driving to us.”

We discuss many audio/podcasting topics including:

  • Kate not using plugins
  • Her Misophonia (see below, it’s related to sound)
  • Her opinion on USB microphones
  • Her love of Behringer equipment
  • Super-detail editing
  • Adobe Audition

She also brought up an amazing use of a de-esser, and hopefully she will share that secret with us in the comments, etc.

*Here’s a bit about Misophonia: also known as selective sound sensitivity syndrome, starts with a trigger. It’s often an oral sound — the noise someone makes when they eat, breathe, chew, yawn, or whistle. Sometimes a small repetitive motion is the cause — someone fidgets, jostles you, or wiggles their foot.

Thank you, Kate!
