The holidays are here, and so is the 12th and final day of our 2023 year in review. For our final entry, listen to Forgiveness written by Osho, narrated by Natalie Naudus, and published by Macmillan Audio. We provided post-production for this title that focuses on deconstructing conditioned belief systems and the power of forgiveness.
We’ve been loving sharing our work with you! It’s day 11, and today we’re listening to The Hero’s Recusants: Akynd Chronicles, Book 1, written by Daniel Lehman, and narrated by Brandon Goodling. The story explores 4 powerful Akynds and the burden of responsibility that comes with their great power.
Our 2023 review - much like the year - is wrapping up quickly. For day 10, listen to Butch Knowles on the NFR Extra Podcast, with hosts Andy Seiler, Brilynn Bentley, and Steve Goedert. This podcast features the top names in rodeo and discussions of the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.
It’s day 9 of our 2023 review. Enjoy If Frogs Could Fly, written and narrated by E.B. Mendel. This psychedelic romp is a satirical exploration of an amphibious pandemic - and it’s just as much of a wild and unexpected ride as it sounds!
For day 8 of our look back on 2023, we’re excited to share our full production of Legaland, written by Jordan Zlotolow. This audiobook was recorded locally in Atlanta by Blake Long and narrated by Jacob York. The story is about Jeff Stymeweather’s journey into Legaland: an area devoid of any laws, but not, as Jeff discovers, without a code.
Our 12-day 2023 retrospective is already on day 7 - over halfway through! For today’s audio, listen to Sean DeLaney’s audiobook, Masterpiece in Progress. 365 motivational passages guide listeners through their year, offering life lessons and wisdom.
Day 6! Listen to host Shana Cosgrove’s interview on the Outspoken podcast, featuring Violet Apple, CEO of Girl Scouts of Central Maryland. In this excerpt, Violet talks about the resiliency of girls in the Girls Scouts organization and why they give her hope for the future.
It’s already day 5 of our look back on 2023! Today, we’re sharing Confident, Calm, and Clutch - written and narrated by Valerie Alston. This author-narrated audiobook explores the importance of mental strength and confidence in athletic success. If you’ve ever watched a clutch athlete close out the final moments of a game, you’ve witnessed the importance of mental resilience.
For day 4 of our look back, listen to Your Body is Your Brain, written by Amanda Blake, and narrated by Marisa Blake. This audiobook explores the often under-appreciated connection between the mind and body, and how scientific research more and more supports the importance of this connection.
For day 3 of looking back on 2023, listen to Kim Tobin’s performance on Decanted, written by Linda Sheehan. We handled post-production for this title, which explores Samantha’s escape from the corporate rat race to the vineyards of France.
For day 2 of our 2023 review, take a listen to Joey T. and the Winter Holiday Worries, written by Sivan Hong and narrated by Tamara J. Suber. We’ve collaborated with Sivan a few times, and this may be the most relatable story yet - figuring out how to adjust to the chaos of the holidays!
2023 has been a great year for Pinto, so in the holiday spirit, we’re celebrating with 12 days of content we were proud to be a part of recently. For day 1, enjoy Benjamin Wagner’s interview with Doug Herzog on the Friends and Neighbors podcast. As MTV’s first News Director, Doug shares some wonderful stories, including this spontaneous entry into Live Aid lore.
We’ve been working with Larisa on her video podcast Diaries of a Life Coach since January of 2021. Larisa records her interviews using Zencastr, and we edit/master the video and audio into a cohesive final product. We deliver both video and audio files, so Larisa can upload to both YouTube and audio streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
This excerpt is from episode 15 with Veronica Natzia. Take a listen as Veronica discusses how focusing on her strengths allowed her to persevere and overcome difficult circumstances.
Take a listen to 1-900-Old-Ladys: The Lost Art of Making Lefse by L. Lee Starr, a clever story about two elderly North Dakota sisters who start a 1-900 line in secret to pay the bills.
We completed production for this audiobook in early 2021, but Starr had begun recording it in 2013! When she came to us with half of the book already recorded 8 years prior, we offered production advice on how to record to match the original sound as closely as possible. And while we were mastering her audio, we used EQ and de-reverb to create a consistent sound.
This was a uniquely challenging project and we're very proud of the result! We look forward to her next book and hope that this time we can record it all in the same year! #producedbypinto
Listen to a clip from 'Swimming Lessons,' written by Laura Engelhardt @5thmagewar and narrated by Brandy Hussa. Swimming Lessons is a prequel to the events of The Fifth Mage War, which we're currently working on! We love being able to bring consistency and cohesion to our book series that we produce with authors.
Laura reached out to us in early 2021 about handling post-production for her audiobook series. After finishing Swimming Lessons, we're on the edge of our seats to find out what happens next in the series. #producedbypinto
Listen to a sample of Benny J and the Horrible Halloween written by @sivan_hong_author and narrated by @shelleymoorevo!
We've worked on 5 books now with Shelley! So far we've collaborated on science fiction, travel tips, and children's audiobooks. We love working with professional narrators and taking the more tedious aspects of editing off of their plate. We're looking forward to producing more audiobooks with Shelley in the future! #producedbypinto
Listen to a clip from The Real Outspoken Podcast with Shana Cosgrove! This great bit of information is from Stephanie Beben on Season 2 Episode 7 of the podcast.
Shana reached out to us in early 2021 about working on season 2 of her show. We've been working with her audio to produce the podcast, focusing on content editing to bring the messages of her guests to the forefront. We also handle show notes and uploading for Outspoken!
We've really enjoyed working with Shana to highlight actionable information with professional audio. We look forward to working with her and her company Nyla Technology Solutions on whatever is next! #producedbypinto
