Quick update, AES NYC and New Podcast Eps coming - THHA #46
By Manny Faces • Issue #45 • View online
Hello friends, neighbors, supporters, and haters.
It’s been a minute since we connected, but I wanted to share a few interesting stories that I’ve been collecting along the way.
A few quickies first. One, for those who have been following, I’m now five months post-kidney donation. My daughter is doing amazing and I’ve never felt better. Also, I recently launched Manny Faces Media, an independent media production shop specializing in podcasting and audio journalism. Visit us today for consultation, show development, production work, editing needs, etc.
Speaking of podcasts, new episodes of the WORLD’S SMARTEST HIP-HOP PODCAST are coming! Visit and subscribe to Hip-Hop Can Save America! wherever you get your favorite podcasts.
Lastly, I’m moderating an amazing discussion at the 147th AES Pro Audio Convention in NYC on October 18 called “Cache Rules Everything Around Me: Archiving and Preserving Hip-Hop in a Digital Age.” There are a few hip-hop-related session happening at the convention so if you’re on the technical/audio engineering/archiving side of the game, check them out for more info.
OK, on to more stories of hip-hop innovation, inspiration, and insight.
