Not being able to record in the Capital studios with the Producers and the difficulties trying to replicate the microphone processing sound from home.

This time we’re joined by one of Canada’s finest Imaging Producers, ‘Wade Taylor’ from Chum FM/Bell Media. Alongside Wade we chat with Dom Evans from Fox FM Melbourne, he heads up the imaging for one of the best sounding stations in Australia.

Wade takes us back to his Hot 97 days, we reminisce about the time he met Janet Jackson and how he had to explain to her he’d won an award using her interview outtakes...not awkward at all!
We go inside the mind of Dom Evans; breaking down his truly exceptional 10K listener testimonial winner promo. Emotive imaging at its best!

Plus, Robbo hypothesizes which plugin we’d want if you were stuck...on a desert island of all places!

This episode is dedicated to our friend Sean Sarille who we sadly lost to covid in August.
Sean was one of the kindest and most humble people you could hope to meet. He will be sorely missed.

Joining us for episode 10 is Voice Talent & Imaging Producer Steve Stone as well as National Imaging Producer for iHeartRadio, Gavan Bruderer.

Stoney, as Robbo affectionately calls him, tells us about his days imaging K-Rock New York, voicing TV spots for CNN and how his encyclopedic knowledge of microphones comes in super handy for choosing which mic to use for projects.

Gav fills us in on his day to day, where he can cut upto 60 pieces of production for a variety of iHeart formats, plus, of course an ‘Imaging Hangout’ favourite...Plugins!

We hope you enjoy this episode, it’s always such a pleasure to converse with such great talent.

We chat about the evolution of Rock Imaging and how it compares to CHR.

If you were to start a Rock band, what would you call it?

We dissect a few radio myths.
Why do promos have to be 30/40 seconds? 
Do we always have to end with the station name?
Are there alternative options?

We chat calendar dates as Kiss’ take on Halloween imaging with thrilling movie-esque results. We also discuss the use of VOs outside your normal station voices, for e.g. how children and foreign accents can make your imaging pop out the speakers!

Oli P showcases his rapping pedigree, and Daniel takes Post Malone back to the 80s!
