About this episode

Josh Schroeder discusses his experiences as a producer, viral moments in music, and his personal life including his passion for pinball machines.

Join Josh and I as we sit piano side in one of the spare rooms in his home studio for this chat. Josh talks about some of the viral moments that have happened to bands he’s worked with, how aware he or the band are of what those moments could be when working on these songs. Josh shares how he tries to not be known for a “sound” as he’s become an in demand producer for heavier music, but to foster and environment and a process that’s unique to each band and the members within, and that that’s what people can hear in the records he’s worked on. He also talks about not taking the social side of the business too seriously, as evident by his nail the mix promo video, and how he’s traversed that. Josh also shares how a doomed trip to Japan helped foster his and his wife’s blossoming obsession with pinball machines. What he’s learned from playing and collecting machines over the last few years. We also get to learn a bit more about Josh’s marriage, how he and his wife met, and the role she even plays on the back end of the business. How they navigate balancing a work and personal life when the two are literally housed in the same building. All this and more with the prouder…
