It's the PAX episode! This time we sat down with Gina Zdanowicz from Serial Lab Studios after she did a talk at PAX about devs and middleware. A bit of a noisy one but a great conversation.
Two extra pieces of info this month to add on. The first, as some may know, is that one of my cats, Odin, passed on this month after a battle with cancer. While it's incredibly sad that she's gone I recorded her voice before she left and am giving that to all of you now. Head to Soundcloud and download to make her live on in your game projects. I'd really love to hear how you use it. https://soundcloud.com/woot-woot-sound/odin-cat-meow-yell-meraow
Second, and happier, Beep: A Documentary History Of Game Sound is now out!! If you're involved in games in any way, especially if it's audio, you should watch this doc. http://www.gamessound.com/

We were a bit busy and stressed this month so we just took a bunch of questions and topic ideas from listeners and talked about those. So a bit of a grab bag episode.

This month we have the wonderful Jennifer Lewis (@jlew42) on to talk with us. We chat about community and moving from AAA to indie and a bunch of other stuff.
Although we didn't mention it in the episode due to when we recorded it we'd like to mention the passing of Jory Prum. While we didn't know Jory personally we due know a lot of our listeners did and we truly wish we had. He sounds like he was a great human being and a wonderful person to have in game audio sharing his knowledge and making our industry a better brighter place. There is a wonderful write up here from people who knew him better. http://designingsound.org/2016/04/remembering-jory-prum/ RIP Jory, you will be missed.

A little late in the month but we still made it in. Was a real pleasure to find ourselves at the Sony Playstation Experience in San Francisco this month and be able to sit down with Joonas Turner. Joonas is an awesome guy and talented sound designer and voice actor from Finland with a broad range of games he's worked on.
