I've been around music and film my whole life, and love watching and reading about all of the action backstage and behind the scenes.

From the independent film producer who has to make his or her day despite inclement weather, to the guitar tech changing the umpteenth set of strings on the bus at 2 AM, I'm fascinated by these people and their stories.

If you've ever wondered who some of those people are in the long list of credits at the end of a movie and how they got there, or who those sweaty folks in black T-shirts are doing on-stage before a concert or what the hell a record producer actually does, then this podcast is for you.
Thanks for listening.

Matthew McGlynn is the founder and owner of Roswell Pro Audio in Sebastopol, CA. A self-described microphone nerd, Matt’s first audio project was RecordingHacks.com, which attempted to describe every microphone ever made. It gave him an excuse to buy a *lot* of microphones — absolutely necessary for the research, so far as he told his very tolerant wife.

Having way too many microphones gave him the opportunity to take them apart to find ways to make them sound better. He started MicParts.com to sell microphone upgrade parts and kits, bringing joy and sonic self-actualization to DIY aficionados around the world. But because not every recording enthusiast also enjoys solder fumes, Matt founded Roswell Pro Audio, a microphone company whose products come already put together.

Roswell Pro Audio borrows from the research and development work done by MicParts, but takes its products in a different direction. Roswell’s designs distill the various capsule and circuit combinations into best-in-class offerings that have won acclaim from musicians, home studio owners, and Grammy award-winning producers and engineers.
