Podcast Engineering Show

---

Each session Chris chats with a podcast producer or audio expert about their equipment, software and workflow. You will learn step-by-step how they are producing episodes as well as solutions to common audio issues and plenty of tricks and tips. By listening every week you will learn A TON of audio engineering knowledge and skills that will make a HUGE difference in the quality of your sound, not to mention save you a lot of time. Your host Chris Curran has a background in podcast production (J&J, Forbes, Dun & Bradstreet), as well as music engineering and production. For years he had the honor of making records with well-known artists and accumulating lots of album credits. When he entered podcasting about 6 years ago, he noticed that most podcasters (and producers) do not have a solid understanding of fundamental audio engineering concepts, which sabotages the quality of their sound from the very beginning. This show, as well as the Podcast Engineering School, helps producers and podcasters reach professional levels of podcast production.

Here are a few quick tips when navigating our skill. First thing to note, when opening the skill you’ll be offered the latest episode, but if that’s not what you’re looking for, you can always find something more specific. This skill allows you to skip forward and backward by entire episodes, and you can also fast forward and rewind within episodes themselves. In addition, you can ask the skill to play the newest or oldest episodes released; or if you want to get specific, play a specific episode by saying the episode number. Try some of these commands:

**Skip Entire Episodes**
— [While Episode Is Playing] = “Alexa skip” or “Alexa tell Podcast Engineering Show to skip ahead 5 episodes”

**Fast Forward/Back Within Episode**
— [While Episode Is Playing] = “Alexa, tell Podcast Engineering Show to fast forward 2 minutes”
— [While Episode Is Playing] = “Alexa, tell Podcast Engineering Show to rewind 45 seconds”

**Select Newest Episode**
— “Alexa, tell Podcast Engineering Show to play the newest episode”
