Episode description
Jeff Stanfield and Andy Shaver are joined by Emmy Award–winning sound producer, Chris Issac.
Chris spent eight years in Hollywood as a boom operator on major productions like Stranger Things, The Walking Dead, and Watchmen—which earned him an Emmy. Now back in Memphis, he produces the Ducks Unlimited Podcast.
They dive into Chris’s path in the sound industry, his experiences working on hit shows, the challenges of dealing with difficult actors, boom mic mishaps on set, what led him to step away from that industry, and how AI could shape the future of television and film production.
