Pushing Faders

On this weeks episode of Pushing Faders, Chris chats with BAFTA Award winning Sound Director Robert Edwards.
With a career spanning 50 years, there isn't much in the TV industry that Robert hasn't worked on. Having been refused a job at the BBC in his early years to then be ask by them to head up the audio department on their Eurovision coverage in Liverpool, Robert has work on all manner of light entertainment broadcasts and helped shaped the football coverage on Sky Sports.

Joining me on this week's show is Henry Goodman, Director of Product Management from Calrec. 
Calrec manufacture audio mixing consoles out their old textile mill in West Yorkshire. With their products being used across the globe and their name being synonymous with broadcast audio consoles.

On the first episode of Pushing Faders, I chat to Ian Rosam about his career and how he and his fellow sound supervisor Robert Edwards created the football coverage we know today. In 1992 the Premier League kicked off in England and Sky Sports' coverage changed how football looks and sounds to this day. 
Taking influences from light entertainment sound, Rob and Ian created a whole new standard for sound coverage on football. We discuss these innovations and the progression from mono through to 5.1.
The Premier League audio coverage was held in such high regard that HBS asked Ian and Rob to create an audio production plan for the World Cup in 2002 to bring uniformity to the sound at subsequent competitions. 
 

Welcome to Pushing Faders, the broadcast sound podcast. This is just a brief explanation of what to expect for future of this show.
