Twenty Thousand Hertz Twenty Thousand Hertz

Ted Lasso is about more than just an incompetent soccer coach—it’s about overcoming challenges by working together. And that’s exactly what the show’s sound team had to do when the pandemic hit just two episodes in. From creating crowds of thousands using just a few voices, to recording actors in their own closets, they managed to turn lockdown into an opportunity for innovation. Featuring Ted Lasso’s Supervising Sound Editor Brent Findley and Dialog Editor Bernard Weiser.

Which movie has the best sonic experience? How is an episode of Twenty Thousand Hertz actually made? And what work is Dallas most proud of? In this episode, Dallas answers your questions. He shares some technical sonic knowledge, and discusses some sounds he wouldn’t want to live without (as well as one or two pet peeves).

We spend a lot of time curating for taste, touch, smell, and vision. But too often, sound gets overlooked. We forget that we can get rid of sounds that annoy us, and surround ourselves with sounds that we love. When we do, it can have huge benefits for our mood and wellbeing. In this episode, Dr. Laurie Santos of The Happiness Lab joins Dallas to create a Handbook for Sonic Happiness. Featuring auditory psychologist David Poeppel, psychology researcher Giulia Poerio, clinical psychologist Ali Mattu, sound scholar Mac Hagood and acoustician Trevor Cox.

Music underpins every episode of Twenty Thousand Hertz. But where does that music come from? And what makes podcast music unique? In this episode, Dallas interviews composer Wesley Slover about his work for Twenty Thousand Hertz, what “A to B bleep bloops” really means, and why he’s glad he didn’t become an electrician (or a plumber, or a lawyer). Wesley also discusses whether AI-generated music can ever replace human composers, and shares the inspiration behind the MicroHertz theme song.

There’s a certain musical phrase that you’ve probably heard hundreds of times. It’s used to emphasize dramatic moments in movies, cartoons, commercials and musicals, most often as a gag. But while this little melody is everywhere today, the question is: Where did it come from? In this episode, we investigate the mysterious origins of a famous 3-note sting. Featuring Sound Historian Patrick Feaster and Composer Dick Walter.
