The Mikie Show #8 Tom

Series: The Mikie Show
From: Michael Carroll
Length: 00:28:00

Our guest is one of the greats in sound, Tom Clack. We talk about early days at BBC, MTV and traveling the world to record sounds. He performs the sound play in this episode, so you won't want to miss that. Meanie the Clown drops by, there's a sound quiz and Mikie tries some field recording of his own! Read the full description.

Meerkat_small We begin another fun-filled adventure. Thanks to Tom Clack, The Mikie Show is now being used as a teaching aid at SUNY Oneonta in New York. From the early radio days at the BBC to studios in New York City, Tom Clack shares the highlights of his career behind the scenes in television and radio programs and advertisements we all know. He has also travelled the world collecting sounds and is kind enough to use some from his private collection to perform our sound play this episode. Plus, Mikie himself goes out to record the sounds of insects in the wild. Ever wonder what it would be like to be the guy picking the prizes for a game show? Mikie does, too!
