Episode 6: Pay Attention to the Man Behind the Curtain

About this episode

Brown was a prolific and inventive producer and packager, but he was also, as he said, “a sound guy” who shaped the sound of his shows, both in the Golden Age, and when he established CBS Mystery Theater in 1974s. This episode will explore his influence on sound design, and the distinctive “signatures” of his shows. It will also explore what sound effects and sound design contribute to a drama, and Audio Maverick’s own sound designers will share some of their secrets.
