BlackPod is a no-fluff podcast for church production leaders, live audio engineers, and creatives who care about doing it right.

Hosted by Lee Fields, Shep, Tyler Kerpsack, and Brad Bramer, BlackPod dives into real-world conversations around church audio mixing, troubleshooting AVL systems, leadership accountability, and building drum sounds that actually translate in the room.

In this episode, we talk Valentine’s Day and life outside the booth, but we also get into practical production topics like:

How to troubleshoot live sound systems under pressure

Why personal accountability and self-awareness matter more than gear

The truth about target curves — and why you shouldn’t mix toward them

How to shape drum sounds for impact, clarity, and consistency

If you’re a church sound engineer, production director, or volunteer trying to level up your mix and leadership, this podcast is for you.

Real conversations. Real rooms. Real leadership.
