Media Director - Noah Hirschy

Go to NHMediaProductionsLLC.com to see Noah's work! Aspect ratios, anamorphic lenses, Red vs Black magic?! A musician at heart and a camera junkie by trade, he's the only hardware nerd we look up to 100% of the time. He's a tall, mean, recording machine! Just kidding about the mean; Noah is one of the kindest people we have ever met. Fall into his smooth voice and deep surplus of knowledge just as hard as we did in this episode!

Animator - Noah Stinson

Wait, this is new... An animator on the podcast? Not a musician or audio engineer, but an actual person of production?! We're amazed, and you will be too when you hear about getting into the animation industry, finding your inspiration, and learning that you really know less about where you want to go than you think you do. Time changes us, experiences develop us, and Sonic inspires us. Listen along and you'll understand.

Keyboardist, Traveled Musician, and Content Creator - Jacob Dupre

The guest we have on today is a fifth generational musician who's traveled from the states to Japan playing music and warming hearts. We say warming hearts because he is one of Blake and Fernando's favorite musicians and he does just that every time he plays. He's a delight, he's got a unique confession, he's got more talent in one performance than all three of us have combined in our entire lives - he is Jacob Dupre!

Audio Engineer and Content Producer - Rachel Leonard

Five jobs to get to work as a Youtube content creator, working for free but also knowing your value, and where to start to get into the music and video industries are just a fraction of this episode. Rachel Leonard is a talented audio engineer that goes in depth about her experiences in the music industry and the best strategies to get yourself involved. Or the best strategies to go insane. Sometimes they are the same thing in the audio mixing and video creation world. This is life, marker!...

Composer, Musician, Content Creator - Pauline Roberts

We interview an up and coming artist who's traveled to New York in 2021 to pursue music, and she's already killing it. Her story, expertise, and even some confessions provide deep insight into how to begin a music career; and even where to take it. Know yourself folks, and then know what to do with that information to find success in the content producing industry.

Video Editor, Photographer - Connor Gates

Join us in episode one while we interview the only life of the party that will never admit it - Connor Gates! Starting your passion, emotional exhaustion in a creative field, and way too many mountain dew bottles? This episode is sure to make you laugh, cringe, nod your head, and then shake it faster than Blake can yell at Fernando for kissing the equipment again.
