Show notes:

This month's guest is composer and sound designer Mike Forst who released Amazon's home companion robot Astro. Mike worked as Audio Lead and then became Character Lead on that project. He is now a freelance composer, sound designer and artist.

Definitions: I noticed Mike and I reference "TTS" several times without defining it as "Text To Speech" - the ability for a computer system to generate speech audio from text rather than pre-recorded voice lines.
