The stories behind the world’s most recognizable and interesting sounds.

  1. When Everything Stopped, He Started Listening

    HACE 21 H

    When Everything Stopped, He Started Listening

    David Jeffers has always understood the world through sound. As a kid, he bounced beats between tape decks and built speaker boxes from spare parts. After college, he founded an underground hip hop label. Then came the day that split his life in two. And in the quiet that followed, David started listening more deeply… and piece by piece, he built a new life, guided not by what he lost, but what he could create.

    Butterfly in the Synth: Reading Rainbow’s Magical Theme Song

    The theme song to Reading Rainbow has been delighting kids (and nostalgic grown-ups) for over 40 years. But how did this instantly iconic track come to be?

  8. Defying Gravity: The Audio Wizardry of Wicked's Live Vocals

    19/11/2025

    Defying Gravity: The Audio Wizardry of Wicked's Live Vocals

    In movie musicals, the vocals are almost never recorded live on-set. Instead, the actors pre-record their songs, then lip sync to those recordings while filming. But on Wicked, they threw out the rulebook, and recorded all of the lead vocals live. In this episode, Production Sound Mixer Simon Hayes reveals how they pulled off this audio feat. From cleverly disguised lav mics and in-ear monitors, to “silent wind” machines, to a jaw-dropping live performance of “Defying Gravity,” this is the story behind a truly magical production.
