Mark McGwire: I Didn't Need To Use PEDs | Stadium

I handled location audio for this Stadium Network interview with Mark McGwire, addressing the topic of PED use during his record-breaking career. McGwire has spoken about this publicly before, but a sit-down interview on camera requires a different level of production quality than a press conference.

Interview work with subjects discussing sensitive or controversial topics requires a sound recordist who can set up quickly and quietly, then disappear. McGwire is an experienced interviewee who knows how to deliver to camera — the audio job is to capture his natural speaking voice cleanly, without the mic being a distraction from what is ultimately a very direct conversation.
