[00:00:00] Dontae Hodge: Sound is probably the most important part of any type of media. We know that we can listen to something without a visual, but we can't watch something without audio.
[00:00:11] Sidney Evans: And while audio has a major impact on our day to day experiences, the medium, as well as those who have produced it are consistently overlooked, and that's why I'm presenting to you my new show, Beyond the Threshold.
