“I first heard Jon on another podcast where he was sharing the idea behind Soundtracks.
When I tuned into his podcast I felt called out.
He starts a lot of episodes with a little talk about how sound guys have heard it all, and, as a former live audio engineer, I know that feeling. I’ve worked countless self help seminars where the people on stage are behind paid oodles of money to utter things like “you too can eat a car!” (I wish I was kidding…)
I, as a natural cynic, found these ideas to be laughable, and thought that the whole genre was a bad idea. But after being a crotchety old man of 27 for too long, I decided to give it a try.
Jon’s personality won me over when he, another natural cynic, went on a little tangent about the mental gymnastics of finding parking at a restaurant.
I had never related to something so much.
So I wanted to thank Jon for calling me out countless times as a Canadian, cynic, and former sound guy.
Soundtracks is a fantastic read/listen, and this podcast is a great start to any Monday.”
