#40 Pt 1 – Producing “We Fix Space Junk”: Sound Engineering, Automnicon & “The Rock” Musical With Hedley Knights

Listen on

Episode notes

This week, Mike is joined by the powerful Hedley Knights, who as well as being the producer/sound engineer, he voices Jault for the podcast audio drama We Fix Space Junk and is a co-founder of Battlebird Productions!

In addition to discussing how WFSJ all began, the inspirations for it, bonus content and who the “Automnivoice” is, they discuss a whole mess of other things, so even if you’re not a fan of We Fix Space Junk, this is still an incredible listen!

Hedley’s journey to becoming a sound engineer, some previous musical ventures (including a musical about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) and the music he generally listens to are discussed, as well as the uncanny valley in movies, Harry Potter, The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, Dungeons & Dragons, old-school internet, Nikola Tesla, Elon Musk and much more in part 1 of this chat!

Part 2 will be released next week, where their conversation continues, discussing some more details of WFSJ, some more political matters and several other topics, so be sure to tune in next week for that!
