Synth Natter is a YouTube podcast started by Stuart Russell in which one of us talks to someone interesting in the world of synthesizers. We’ve done 2 1/2 episodes now (the first one was just an intro) and have guests lined up for several more, so hopefully we can make a ‘go-er’ of it.
The idea is to interview someone new every second week and to get people from as wide a variety of the field as possible – the world of synths is very varied and there are people doing a huge variety of things with them.
Episode 0 was just a very short introduction from my studio where we chat about the point of the project and I give a quick tour of my studio synths.
In episode 1, Stuart interviewed Leah Kardos from Kingston University about her Stylophone Orchestra and her charge of the Visconti Studio (and its Mellotron!) as well as playing a couple of tracks of hers.
In episode 2 I chatted to Annie Jamieson (AKA Dr Sonic the Curator) from the Science and Media Museum in Bradford about the collection of fascinating synths and other audio equipment in the collection there.
The next one is on Saturday 22nd August where Stuart will be interviewing Matthew Bourne. We moved the show from Sunday to Saturday to avoid clashes with some other programmes (that I can’t remember the names of).
