PODCAST PORTFOLIO for Communicorp UK role: "Freelance Sport Podcast Producer "
Here below you will find some of my experiences with selected episodes and examples from shows I have majorly served as an Editor and Producer.
I have uploaded to each Show player both RAW and Processed versions of the same extract section from each podcast episode, so you may perform a quick A/B comparison (the files may also be downloaded here if preferred). Additionally, you will find all the info, links to the shows and to their hosts, who will be available to reference me will you wish to know more about my previous experience with them (when given, I've attached their review for my contribution to their project).
Some shows will sound different from the others due to the different equipment and quality available in each scenario.
Lenght in RAW samples will be longer compared to Processed Samples due to natural editing time-reducing.
Also, Show Music intros have been trimmed out from the original episodes to allow quicker evaluation. Links to the Show are available for a full check though.
Trailers are available where the client commissioned me its creation in the video.

REVIEW
"As a broadcaster who has worked with Mauro for nearly a year, I have had the opportunity to get to know him as both a professional and a person. He has consistently met deadlines, always follows instructions, and often makes recommendations that have improved the show overall. Additionally, Mauro has shown great talent as a sound engineer. When he first proposed his services for my show, he was thorough and detailed, describing everything he could do to make the show sound professional. This included small details that no other sound engineer had proposed. Since hiring him, he has done a wonderful job and I would not work with anyone else. He has my highest recommendation and would be a valued employee for any company or studio."
Leisl Sackschewsky
Notes: this show is defunct since 2019 but is still available online. The host recorded through Audacity and submitted the raw recordings for editing and post-production.

INSIDE THE JUNO REACTOR
Welcome to "Inside The Juno Reactor" Podcast. In these series of episodes, Ben Watkins has the pleasure to chat with Juno Reactor members, people whom he's collaborated with, that influenced or inspired him, or whom he simply met along his journey. You'll hear stories about Juno Reactor albums, external collaborations, The Matrix, production talks, touring, and experiences around the world.
Notes: Juno Reactor is the co-composer of The Matrix Reloaded and Revolution soundtrack. I produce this show both on Audio and Video, taking care of editing, post-production & distribution, other than production, although the Host has control over guests and schedule decisions. The show is recorded via Zoom + high-quality mic source on the host side. It's then released via Anchor.fm

REVIEW
"Mauro is an integral part of our team. He's so much more than an editor for us.
Don't get me wrong, he is technically excellent. His attention to detail is second to none, his creativity gives us an edge, and he is always there for you to get work done on time. But more than that he has become an advocate and a custodian for our brand.
He doesn't just produce our podcast, he consumes it and gives us excellent feedback to continue to make it better. If you're reading this because you're sussing out producers, don't waste any more time. You've found the guy.
PS. I'm actually hesitating hitting publish right now, because selfishly I want to ensure we always have timely access to the highest quality talent. If that's not a signal for you, I don't know what is."

Notes: I assist this podcast by performing editing and post-production, other than consultancy on production. The host have recorded in remote for the last period of time due to lockdown. Riverside and Buzzsprout are used as the main tools to record and distribute.
