This episode is also co-hosted by our mutual friend, music producer and sound engineer Tyr Kohout, who is also the tech supervisor on my podcast.

In this discussion, I discovered a lot about the field of sound recording and COVID’s impact on the film and media industry. I also learn about Marco’s journey with mindfulness, how he built the studio, and his winding path of developing a successful career in sound recording. And we have many heart-warming moments and laughs.

Flow With The Show #009 guests are PRFCT Mandem, comprised of the hilarious and talented Jev and Aisling. Born in Latvia and Ireland respectively, they are currently based in Manchester UK, and I think they are the definition of a ‘creative power duo’ – finding success in music production, video, and all-style DJ sets.

I thought it would be super cool to turn the tables and interview the person behind most of the DnB artist interviews I’ve seen over the last few years. I'm so grateful that Laurie came on the show!! This was our first time chatting live, and I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

We talk about her experience working with and interviewing major DnB artists, common threads of success among them, and how she stops herself from fan-girling haha
