Welcome to trailer park, the podcast trailer Podcast. I'm Tim Vegas area on this flat is my co host, but she's not recording with me right now because she's galavanting around Europe, probably stopping people on the streets and telling them to listen to this podcast. We'll be hearing from her later in the episode I promise. On each episode of our show, we feature a podcast trailer and then we talk about that trailer and then we analyze whether or not it was effective or entertaining. We also include comments from the audio creator we feature and sometimes more. Trailer Park is a quick show meant to help listeners find their next favorite podcasts, and to help creators learn how to make awesome audio content. Let's hit play on this week's Music focus trailer. It comes to us from Anthony Luciani and is called stuck on sound. I'll be back when it wraps to talk about it. And that's when we'll hear Ariel's take two from the streets of Vienna.

Speaker 1

01:48

Yeah, this is a song I've been stuck on for a while, a really long time.

Speaker 2

01:54

This is stuck on sound, a songwriting podcast that brings artists together to collaborate on the projects that have them stuck. Each week we feature a musician with a song in progress that needs a little Jumpstart.

Speaker 3

02:07

So originally, the idea was a part of a collection of musings that I sent to my writing partner the pre didn't have the amount of energy that that the original idea had. So it sort of sat there in limbo. After that.

Speaker 2

02:22

We hand the unfinished track over to a producer and give them 48 hours to work on it.

Speaker 1

02:27

I thought it was great. I thought you could tell that the track really meant something to Kiersten, which I dug. I felt like I immediately wanted to add some big claps and eat away.

Speaker 4

02:39

Man when I first heard that chorus line I immediately thought pedal steel. It needs how steel

Speaker 2

02:54

What results is an inside look at the creative process and possibly a brand new sound.

Speaker 3

02:59

But first, it sort of felt like a almost like a remix as if the song had been done. And then he remixed it but then it evolves into something so much more and definitely more dynamic and more lush. And it made me actually really inspired to to work work on it again. Alex's melody was in my head

Speaker 2

03:26

stuck on sound is a show about what happens when artists open the door to joining forces and sharing sounds. We're mixing styles, criss crossing ideas and combating writer's block one song at a time. This is stuck on sound coming soon to your favorite podcast network.

Hey, Ariel, how's Europe? What are your thoughts on this trailer?

Arielle Nissenblatt

03:51

Hi, Tim. And hi, listeners. So I am in Vienna right now, but I'm not on the streets recording this. I decided to go inside so that I could get better audio quality. But I have been having a really great time here. I know you didn't ask for my my dispatch from Europe. But I was here for Radio Days, Europe. It was really fun. It was in Prague and then I decided to stick around and go to another city. So here I am now in Vienna. And I got to meet with an Austrian podcast studio today called Oh wow. Which was really fun. I got to talk to them about marketing. I really, really do love meeting podcast folks around the world. So if you're listening to this and you're not from the US, I want to come visit you podcaster so let us know in a review where you're listening from and I'll plan a trip. Okay, so back to the question that you actually asked him. What did I think of this trailer? I may have professed on an earlier episode that I'm not the biggest music consumer. If I haven't confessed that earlier than here I am confessing it I listen only to one radio station. It's called one Oh 7.1 The peak it's based in White Plains New York and it is perfect. Other than that I may be hit play on Spotify once every three months. If I'm hosting a party and I know that people like to listen to music. I truly am constantly listening to pie cast. So when I heard that this trailer was about music, I was like this could be a perfect combination for me. I love maker shows shows that dive into the why behind the creator's latest thing in podcasting, I love thinking about why someone decided to add an extra pause, for example, or to retake a line, or two add in sound effects. So it was interesting to hear about this for music. I think the concept of for this show is really, really strong and that the trailer was super entertaining. The pacing was quick, and it kept me glued to my air pods the whole way through. I was wondering what was going to come next what sound was going to come through next what what instrument was going to come through my ears. I wasn't bored once throughout it. My only possible point of criticism was damn, this feels like it was tough to produce. And I wonder what that means for the future of this show. But I bet that's something that we'll get into later in this episode now, won't we? Anyway, that is all for me. Thank you for inserting this clip right now, Tim? By.

Tim Villegas

Yeah, absolutely. I love this trailer. And I want to acknowledge how incredibly ambitious this idea was. The creative process, whether for music, or a podcast can be somewhat mysterious, and to take this on was an extraordinarily heavy lift, from finding the musicians to collecting all the music stems to the actual documentation to the production process, this podcast would be massive. And personally, I would totally listen, even if you weren't necessarily a musician, I think as a creative, this podcast would be extremely valuable to you. We also had a chance to speak with Anthony about the making of the trailer and the overall stuck on sound project. Here is what he shared with us.

06:48

The show is mostly on a shelf most likely won't come to light, at least for a while. The initial plan was to build out a trailer and then a pilot and then shop it around. The hardest part of the show for me was trying to track down the artists with our like main music person can man also make sure to pay them because we are a team of creatives and doing the whole paying musicians and producers fairly is really important to us. The design itself also took a lot of time, like we needed to get access to the musicians stems and their loops and everything like that I'd be able to tell the story with all that. So doing that in a timely fashion was a little difficult, but doable. Something to keep in mind that the hope for that kind of came from the before times of podcasting I guess which was like at the time networks were picking up shows and paying them so that was kind of like we're trying to hop onto that.

Tim Villegas

07:46

Thank you to Anthony for sending in the trailer for stuck on sound. This may be the first trailer we're featuring that doesn't actually have a show to go along with it. So Anthony and team even though the show is on the shelf for now, we hope to hear stuck on sound in the near future. And who knows. Maybe there's someone out there listening who wants to fund a project just like this.
