275. Luke McRitchie & Brian Maddox On Mixing For The 2024 Paris Olympics

Signal To Noise Podcast

Luke McRitchie and Brian Maddox join the show in Episode 275 to talk about their experience working together as mixers for the Olympic Broadcasting Service’s coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics. They share what it’s like mixing up to 16 simultaneous broadcast channels at once for one of the largest viewing audiences in the world, as well as insights into making the leap from a full-time staff position to freelance work, and how the Signal to Noise Discord community directly led to Luke flying to join the Olympics team with barely a day’s notice! This episode is sponsored by Allen & Heath and RCF.
