Hello! Welcome back to episode fifty-one of our monthly podcast about games and game audio. This episode is a brief deep-dive into the concept of mastery, and the journey required to achieve that goal.

There's a variety of clips and books referenced in this episode, which have been linked below.

Soundbytes Podcast - EP 51 - 10,000 Hours (and how to spend them)

Hello! Welcome back to episode fifty of our monthly podcast about games and game audio. This episode we catch up with our friend Katie Tarrant, who we previously chatted to in episode 7, back in 2017!
Katie is a senior sound designer and musician at Rare, and has spent the past few years working on Sea of Thieves. We chatted with Katie about her work at Rare, her journey into the industry and internships, reflected on the impact of the pandemic, and discussed wider changes in the industry over the last few years.
It was a real pleasure to chat to Katie again! We hope you enjoy the conversation and benefit from Katie's excellent wisdom.
