Sometimes when Holly and I sit down to research PopStuff, it’s in front of a screen with a controller, a remote or popcorn in hand. But almost as often, it’s … still in front of a screen, but with a keyboard on one side of it and a giant database of peer-reviewed papers on the other. Sometimes there are even actual books involved. Nonfiction ones. Written by experts.
So if you’re of a mind to learn something from a podcast on pop culture, these 10 PopStuff episodes are a good place to start.
TechStuff Roundup: Sound on Film and Follow-up to 2009 Predictions
by Chris Pollette | December 17, 2010
This week on TechStuff, Jonathan and I returned to our film technology series with a podcast on sound on film. Early movie houses relied on an organist or even an orchestra (in some of the larger theaters). Later, sound was added to the film itself using an optical method, and even later a magnetic track. We even made reference to one of the technologies we mentioned in our surround sound podcast: Fantasound.
