Earlier we already talked about the prerequisites for launching the podcast “Sound” and the main topics that we managed to make out during the first year of work on the program. During this time, the situation with the shortage of specialized media has not changed much: print media is gradually leaving the market, and online magazines have completely switched to smartphones, IoT and gadgets.

The need to listen to quality music and enjoy watching movies at home has not disappeared anywhere. Our modest contribution to the information component of this process is a total of 22 hours of thematic content and responses to questions from the audience.

If the main topic for the first year of work was a kind of “debunking myths”, then in the future we tried to use the maximum number of experts and guest speakers, to talk more about new brands and developments in the field of audio.
