Before we get started, I have some exciting professional news. My sound agency, DeFacto Sound,

which is the same team that makes this very podcast, recently sound designed and mixed,

a feature-length movie with a worldwide theatrical release. The film is called Sketch. It stars

Tony Hale, who played Buster Bluth on Arrested Development, and Darcy Cardin, who you might know as Janet from the Good Place.

It's about a young girl who loses her mother and copes with her pain by drawing monsters.

Through a magical turn of events, these creatures start coming to life.

It's a beautiful coming-of-age story with lots of fun sci-fi monster action mixed in. And my team and I at

DeFacto Sound were responsible for all of the sound, from the dialogue to the foley, to the

ambiances, to the creature sound design, and mix. On top of that, I personally got to mix the movie

in Dolby Atmos, which was so much fun. And over on my YouTube channel, I did a whole

documentary about me mixing it. What's cool about Atmos is you not only get front, side, and rear

speakers, I also got to control the height of these sounds, so I was able to literally make

monsters crawl over you in the ceiling. This is a huge milestone for de facto sound, and I'm so proud of my entire

team. Sketch comes out in theaters worldwide on August 6th, so check your local movie listings and

get tickets to go see it. It's a family film, and I'd say it's probably appropriate for

roughly kids 10 and older. Again, the movie is called Sketch. And if you see it, take a picture of my name

and the credits and tag me on social. There's also a link in the description where you can find

showtimes near you. This episode was made in partnership with Riverside, a fantastic platform for

studio quality remote recording. With Riverside, each fantastic platform for studio quality remote recording.

With Riverside, each participant records locally in up to 4K video and uncompressed wave audio.

The files continually upload while you're talking, which minimizes any delays after the recording is finished.

I'll go into more detail later in the ad break, but Riverside is by far the best
