The Sound Off Podcast


        Mark Ramsey is a media strategist and researcher who has a history of innovative thoughts and approaches towards the audio medium. Consider his Hivio gatherings in 2015 and 2016 which celebrated audio under the banner of a “festival” rather than “conference”, and “audio” rather than “radio”. His twice monthly podcast with author Tom Asacker is a half hour of time well spent in this era of multi-platform media delivery.

The End Of Radio's Millennial Apathy

Nat Lauzon has been a mainstay on Montreal radio for almost 20 years. Her career path has moved in somewhat tidy cycles, spending her teen years working on air in her hometown of Timmins, Ontario while in high school. Then she worked at Toronto's Mix 99.9 while she was finishing her degree at Ryerson Polytechnic. In 1999, she jumped at the opportunity to move to Montreal to with Blair Bartrem at Mix 96. She did mornings up until 2002 and then took over the midday show and was pretty much number 1 in the city for the rest of the decade.&nbsp;We also sounded like a retired couple talking about aches and pains and coping with what ails us. Although I didn't mention it in the show, I have some Tinnitus or some hearing loss as a result of a combination of skeet shooting, headphones, and rock concerts. Nat also has been coping with Vertigo and has posted some eye&nbsp;raising stuff.&nbsp;Some of the stories Nat and I touch on in this episode can be found in the show <a href="http://bit.ly/2AsdNsV" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">I did with Blair Bartrem in Episode 75.</a>&nbsp;​​You can hear Nat weekends on Montreal's 92.5 the BEAT.Nat also has a voiceover company called <a href="http://www.natlauzon.ca" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Speakable </a>and she is the voice of a number of TV ads, on hold systems, corporate ads, and often when you are on hold. She readily admits she records her first voice sessions of the day in her jammies, but she eventually gets dressed to walk the dogs.&nbsp;There's more about&nbsp;this&nbsp;<a href="http://bit.ly/2PuG3TW" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">episode on our show page!</a>Thanks also to the people who make this show possible every week including:<a href="http://www.promosuite.com/soundoff" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Promosuite</a><a href="https://www.mattfogartyvo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Matt Fogarty Voiceovers</a><a href="http://www.coreimagestudio.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Justin Dove at Core Image Studios</a><a href="http://www.megatrax.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Megatrax</a><a href="https://hubs.ly/H0mQLpl0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NLogic</a>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
