#19 Geoff Manchester of iZotope
After a 2 week hiatus due to a studio renovation I'm back with another episode of Studio! Today I talk to Geoff Manchester, an award-winning composer, mixing and mastering engineer, as well as product specialist at iZotope. Geoff shares with us some tips and tricks for getting a great recorded vocal for your podcast, as well as introduces us to some plugins available from iZotope to clean up your recordings, mix them and add that finishing polish that makes them really stand out.
Note: This is not a sponsored podcast for iZotope, I just really love and believe in their audio plugins! You can try all of these for free by downloading a demo on the iZotope web site and look for a giveaway coming in the next episode for some of the software talked about today!

#17 Amanda McLoughlin of Spirits & Join the Party
On today's show I'm excited to bring you an interview with Amanda McLoughlin. Amanda recently penned a fantastic article on Medium titled "Lessons from an Independent Podcaster" which really got my attention -- so much so that I had to have her on the show to talk about it!
Amanda is also the host of Spirits, a podcast that just passed the 1M downloads mark after only 18 months! We talk about the growth of that show, including how she got included on Apple's "New and Noteworthy" section, as well as the production and sound design of her second show Join the Party.
You'll also learn a lot about mindset, growing your podcast audience, and "whole-assing" your podcast - great term from Amanda that I'll probably steal!
I can't think Amanda enough for sitting down to talk to me this week and hope you enjoy this interview!

Customer Reviews
Informative, well produced, entertaining
I have no intention of starting a podcast of my own (definitley not in my wheelhouse). Yet if I ever did, Will's knowledge, advice, and entertaining show would be part of my inspiration to doing so. Because of his shows format, it's easy to get into the topics, it's not overwhelming, and it's genuinely informative — he wants to share what he's learned. Keep it up Will!
Engaging and accessible
The host William Smith is very natural and engaging. He makes all parts of a sometimes technical process seem not daunting. . Lots of transferable knowledge even for the non-podcaster.
Engaging!
