In this episode, I talk to Michael, who was HOD on Hills of California when I was a dresser. Michael shares his journey into theatrical sound—beginning as a teenager doing work experience on "Mamma Mia" before being mentored by people who taught him the craft on the job. His story illustrates how theatre can open doors to those without formal training but with a passion and willingness to learn.

The conversation delves into the fascinating technical aspects of theatrical sound. Michael also reflects on moments of both triumph and challenge, including temporarily leaving the industry before realising theatre was truly his home. 

Whether you're a theatre professional or simply curious about the hidden workings of performance, this conversation will deepen your appreciation for the unseen artistry happening at every show.
