RAMS PODCAST: Design, creativity, lockdown & losing your job + we launched a podcast.

Officially, RAMS (Regional Australian Movers and Shakers), is a show about people who are taking responsibility and making a difference in rural, regional and remote Australia. But really it’s just an excuse for me to talk to people I admire and learn how they do what they do.

Caz Matarazzo who features Ep1 and his son, Raf (the look on Raf’s face!).

On Episode 1 (the pilot) I spoke to Caz Matarazzo. A designer (and amazing creative) who lost his job at the height of Covid, moved to Victoria (Australia) a couple of days before lockdown (he managed to buy a couch for the new place, phew) and launched two businesses in the process.

Have a listen to Caz’s story below. And if you’d like to talk about producing something similar for your business or organisation, let me know.

On the technical front (if you’re that way inclined) here’s how recorded this episode:

• Recorded in Anchor on an iPhone XS Max using a Rode Smartlav+ mic at our end

• Edited & Mastered in GarageBand (it does the job pretty well)

• Additional vocals recorded on a Shure SM58 mic (very rock and roll) into Bandlab via a Link Analog V01.

• And if you’re really keen, I wrote the theme music in the Korg iKaossilator app on the aforementioned iPhone XS Max and was going for a vintage noir, detective radio play type of vibe.
