088 – Thoughts on DesigningSoundOrg

Host Timothy goes for a frozen, snowy walk in the woods while recalling some of DesigningSound.org’s best content, why the site was/is so important to the audio community and how much it will be missed.

I forgot to mention it in the podcast but we send out a big time THANKS to Miguel, Shaun and Jack and everyone else who put in their time to make designing sound.org all that it grew to be.

These are the woods our host was walking through, but in daylight.
