URM Podcast EP102 | 2 Year Anniversary Special With Josh Newell

#party, people! It’s the podcast’s 2 year anniversary, and Josh Newell is back to celebrate with us.

It’s not all fun and games though. You’re in for some quality discussion about Josh’s experiences working with Linkin Park. We also take turns ranting about horrible assistants that live to make our lives harder and cheap equipment that does nothing but personify the spirit of “suck.” So, sit back, relax, and happy anniversary.

“I’m going to fight you on this; I actually like the St. Anger snare.” – Joel Wanasek

ON THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT:

– The technical trials and tribulations of getting this podcast out to you guys
– Josh’s computer rig update guidelines for a big project like Linkin Park
