Darknet Diaries

Emi Paternostro

“These are true stories from the dark side of the Internet…” starts the podcast Darknet Diaries, and that’s a great way to describe it. Featuring heavily researched topics of cyber warfare, hacking and security, Jack Rhysider takes listeners on a journey every episode and often features guests with amazing stories. Guests connect with Jack through different means, so cleaning up the audio provides the listener with an easier and more pleasant experience. Starting on Episode 71, you can hear Emi’s work on most of the guest audio.

Warp World Historians

Emi Paternostro

Role: Sound Mix and Master

The second podcast from the Warp World Team, hosts Grand Keys and Xwater spend each week taking a deep dive into the history of some of gaming’s most popular titles. From the initial stages of developements through its publishing and release, each week provides a fascinating view on an often hidden side of the gaming industry.

Production on this podcast is similar to the Warp World Podcast in that the hosts record separately. Mixing the tracks to sound like they are in the same room is the biggest challenge, but Historians also provides some creative opportunities with their fake advertisments at the start (some of which I’ve voiced). Check out the podcast below:

Role: Sound Mix & Master

There is a subset of Video Game culture known as Speedrunning, where players attempt to complete games as fast as possible, often employing glitches and exploits that break the game. The Warp World Podcast is a weekly show featuring three SpeedRunners: GrandPOOBear, Jaku and Xwater, as they discuss current events surrounding Video Game culture and streaming. The show is actually recorded across the continent, with the three hosts capturing their banter in three entirely different setups. This poses some unique challenges in having their audio match sonically and sound consistent. They also periodically have guests on their show, adding to the challenge. Check out their episode list below (Emi has mixed most episodes from 23 – 153):
