    2025 NAMM Show Preview with John Mlynczak

    NAMM's President & CEO John Mlynczak once again joins One and Dunn to give the community a preview of what to expect during NAMM Week 2025. The show is back and bigger than ever, and John shares a look into the growing presence of exhibitor brand experiences, the new Creator Lounge, and the artists getting ready to grace the many stages of NAMM. To John, one thing top of mind this year as the industry continues to evolve is unity through music, as the industry prepares to come together for its biggest annual gathering. It's a must-listen while making your plans for NAMM next week. NOTE - this podcast was recorded in October before the current LA wildfires, so you'll hear no mention of it in the podcast. We want to uplift the NAMM Foundation's 2025 LA Wildfires Relief Fund, which has pledged $50,000 to support NAMM Members, music programs, and music professionals affected by the disaster.

Kimberly gives us a look into the world of Film and TV Sound Design and Audio Post and shares why being a musician or recording engineer lends itself well to moving into that line of work.
