Joining Chris on this weeks episode is Ollie Nesham from Red TX to chat about his career in audio and music mobiles. With countless credits to his name, there isn't many artists that Ollie hasn't recorded in one way or another, whether it be at a festival or recorded for their live DVDs or albums.  As well as providing a mobile recording studio, Ollie and Red TX also have worked on some interesting live TV productions such as The Third Day.  Ollie was recently nominated for an Emmy Award for his work as part of the audio team on the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Show, which is something discussed at length on the podcast.

On this week's Pushing Faders, I am joined by Richard Sillitto and Andy Tapley from the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.  Over the course of the episode we discuss what it takes to bring the audio side of one of the biggest yearly shows to air. With the complexity of mixing both the presentation and music on one sound desk, a noisy studio floor and just where do they hide the personal microphones on the dancers.

On this weeks episode of Pushing Faders, Chris chats with BAFTA Award winning Sound Director Robert Edwards. With a career spanning 50 years, there isn't much in the TV industry that Robert hasn't worked on. Having been refused a job at the BBC in his early years to then be ask by them to head up the audio department on their Eurovision coverage in Liverpool, Robert has work on all manner of light entertainment broadcasts and helped shaped the football coverage on Sky Sports.

On the first episode of Pushing Faders, I chat to Ian Rosam about his career and how he and his fellow sound supervisor Robert Edwards created the football coverage we know today. In 1992 the Premier League kicked off in England and Sky Sports' coverage changed how football looks and sounds to this day.  Taking influences from light entertainment sound, Rob and Ian created a whole new standard for sound coverage on football. We discuss these innovations and the progression from mono through to 5.1. The Premier League audio coverage was held in such high regard that HBS asked Ian and Rob to create an audio production plan for the World Cup in 2002 to bring uniformity to the sound at subsequent competitions.

Welcome to Pushing Faders, the broadcast sound podcast. This is just a brief explanation of what to expect for future of this show.
