Morning y’all, and welcome back to our little podcast experiment. Once you get a look at it, you might have some idea of why it took us so long to get these pilots off the shelf. Having recorded them with a live audience, at a venue that was great fun but wasn’t a studio environment, we spend a lot of time working on sound and video issues. (When I say “we” I mean of course the excellent Solomon HaileSelassie, who’s my producer for this project.)
I learned a bit about “white balance” along the way — nothing at all to do with DEI, apparently — and in fact we ended up deciding to drop this first episode in a black-and-white version, for reasons.
But then my headline guest — Woolly Mammoth Theatre artistic director emeritus Howard Shalwitz — and I are both creatures of a certain vintage, so a monochrome look is hardly inappropriate.
N.B.: This interview contains an exchange related to this here comment thread, which will I hope interest at least a few of the gossips among you.
Enjoy! Send feedback!
