Hear from award-winning podcast director and producer, Shane Salk, and Dolby’s Tina Eckman on how to bring stories to life. Dolby Atmos provides a new experience for podcasts and allows creators to place sounds in a multidimensional space that creates an audio-only experience so rich and lifelike that it transports the listener into the story. Learn how Salk approaches his creative process to create immersive storytelling across podcast genres. This talk was broadcast as part of On Air Open House 2023, at dublab. Also on site was the Dolby Atmos Experience, which gave attendees the opportunity to experience podcasts and audio experiences in Dolby Atmos in both a studio setup, and in the Dolby Atmos car.
