Episode 118: Tony Palermo Talks Sound Effects and New Media

This week we talk to sound effects guru Tony Palermo, creator of the excellent radio drama resource RuyaSonic and professional sound-man. He’s worked on a mind-boggling large number of productions, and with no shortage of audio celebrities — Norman Corwin, Peggy Webber, Art Gilmore, Janet Waldo, Fred Foy, Yuri Rasovsky, Roger Gregg, Sue Zizza, Barbara Watkins, Bobb Lynes, David Ossman, Michael Gough, Lori Tubert, the Liquid Radio Players, James Napoli, and the sound effects greats Bob Mott, the late Ray Erlenborn and Cliff Thorsness, to name a few.
