Episodes

Long-form conversations with the people who make the creative industries run - directors, illustrators, composers, animators - about how they actually built their careers: the breaks, the dead ends, and the difficult middle bit nobody talks about; and the music that means the most to each guest, and why.

Hosted by Greg Owens. New episodes fortnightly.

Having a GAS with...John Paterno

Jul 4, 2022

1 hr 13 min

Today I'm having a GAS with John Paterno, a Grammy-winning music producer, mixer, composer, engineer, mastering engineer, and musician.

Dubbed ‘Mr Meticulous’ by industry writer Mr. Bonzai, Paterno is known for his attention to detail while at the same time allowing artists to feel uninhibited in their creativity.

John moved to Los Angeles two weeks after graduation from the University of Miami MUE [Music Engineering] program. A short period of freelance assisting concluded with a staff position at Sunset Sound/Sound Factory in Hollywood, where for five years he was exposed to many great engineers, producers, and artists.

After breaking out of assisting, John worked with a wide range of producers including Mitchell Froom, Joe Chiccarelli, Byron Gallimore, Celso Valli, and Stephen Duffy. He won a Latin Grammy for his work with artist/producer Soraya. John has produced or co-produced projects for Gov’t Mule, Michael Landau, Caleb Henry, Andrew Synowiec, The Black Mollys, Mitchell Froom, Lustra, Robbie Williams, The Lilac Time, and many other artists. He has also co-written songs with artists and has written pieces for TV and film.

A recent addition to Paterno’s offerings is Mix-Therapy — live, one-on-one-over-the-internet mixing instruction. More info available at: http://www.musicdafoz.com/

Today, I'm having a GAS with Pedro Bromfman, a prolific music composer working in film, TV and video games. Pedro's most well-known work is arguably the score for the recent triple-A game 'Far Cry 6'. However you could be forgiven for only being aware of his score for the smash hit Netflix series 'Narcos'.

Having a GAS with...Jason Spencer, Business Development Director at ITV

Dec 15, 2021

47 min

Today, I'm having a GAS with Jason Spencer, ITV's head of business development. In a nutshell, Jason is responsible for selling ITV's advertising space. There were two big areas I wanted to discuss with Jason:

1) The viability of TV advertising in an age where more and more users are switching to on-demand providers like Netflix, Disney+ and Prime;

2) How the sausage gets made on broadcast TV and how the commercial revenue actually pays for the production of content.

Today, I'm having a GAS with Reuben Cohen, a mastering engineer at Lurssen Mastering.

Reuben has worked on a number of hit records, perhaps most notably the 2014 international sensation 'Happy' by Pharrell.

However, Reuben's prolific output is far too extensive to list here, which is an impressive thing to be able to say of someone who's only 35 years old.

Oct 13, 2021

1 hr 1 min

Today, I'm having a GAS with Laurel Stark and Sheila Judkins, Creative Director and Director of Brand Management respectively at The Sims.

Laurel is a relatively recent appointment at The Sims, so I was keen to find out what it's like shouldering the weight of such a celebrated global brand.

Helpfully, she invited Sheila in so we could get multiple perspectives!
