This show focuses on the technical production of audio podcasts. Chris Curran chats with podcasters about their audio equipment, software and workflow to help you learn how to produce better sounding podcasts. You’ll also learn solutions to common audio issues as well as plenty of tips and tricks.

Your host Chris Curran has a background in podcast production (Forbes, Dun & Bradstreet, J&J, etc) as well as music production (Sarah McLachlan, Jeff Buckley, Foreigner, etc). When he entered podcasting in 2012, he noticed that most podcasters (and producers) do not have a good understanding of fundamental audio engineering concepts, which sabotages the quality of their sound from the very beginning. This show, as well as Podcast Engineering School, helps podcasters and producers reach professional levels of podcast audio production.

episode 15: Steve Savanyu
My guest is Steve Savanyu, Director of Educational Services at Audio-Technica U.S. Steve has over 40 years of professional audio experience in live sound, studio and broadcast applications. He has worked on large live and broadcast events including the Presidential/Vice Presidential Debates (2008 & 2012), and the 2008 New York City Papal Visit.
Steve schooled us (in deep detail) on the technical differences between these types of microphones:
- Dynamic
- Condenser
- Ribbon
- Carbon
- Ceramic
- Crystal
We also talked about:
- Diaphragm sizes
- Pickup patterns (and how phase cancellation is manipulated)
- Mic output levels
- Preamps
- What XLR actually stands for! Do YOU know? Listen for the answer.
- Also the difference between the famed ATR2100-USB and the ATR2500-USB.
I also asked a selfish question about a super small mic that I want for a specific application. Steve suggested the BP8-96 or AT8-99.
Thank you for being a great guest, Steve!
