This is my go to podcast for long car rides. I get inspired every time when I hear other womens’ stories and the technical episodes make me realize I have so much to learn and something new to try.

I’m not in the target demographic for this podcast, but I love Isobel’s approach to the subject matter, and her philosophy on pursuing a career in the music/recording industry, in general. I don’t hear many people in this field talking about creative self-doubt and emotional well-being in the same breath as acoustic room treatments and microphone placement. Isobel speaks with intelligence, wit, and humility about her own experiences, demystifies the home recording process, and offers heartfelt encouragement. On top of that, she seeks out high-calibre guests to graciously share their wisdom and offer practical steps for the hopeful DIY musician or technician looking to move forward. I just listened to her interview with Una Monaghan, which contained a discussion about pushing through stage fright (or, in her case, live sound mixing desk fright) that was particularly enlightening for me. Thank you for creating this wonderful resource, Isobel!

So grateful to have stumbled here while navigating my very first release and onward. Thank you, Isobel! So inspired to keep making and face my gremlins. x

I'm a female identifying music engineer with a lot of experience and success, and can say with confidence that womxn are equally capable of making great records as male identifying producers + engineers...most of us just don't know it, largely because we don't have other knowledgeable / successful womxn to have conversations with around music production. This podcast elimates that. Way to go Isobel! Great podcast. I'm cheering you on!!

I've only listened to the first episode, but Isabel has a way with words. She helped ease my mind with some of my own moments of self doubt today and is an inspiring voice for a struggling creative. Thank you for making these. You definitely have a new listener.
