For those of you who may be trying to access the site and are getting the "Site not found" response, it is likely just server shifting happening with our hosting (DNS routing thing). The site is not going away. It will likely be back up in a few hours.

OK. That took a little while (a few more issues than we realized), but the site is back up and all good now. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience!

just a reminder that the POC in Audio directory exists— a place where talented reporters, writers, editors, producers who are all POC are available to employ their smarts, expertise, & talents for equal pay. pocinaudio.com

Great post on a great film. I love the 70s-vibe of Michael Clayton. Made me think of this terrific interview about the #sounddesign done by @jakeriehle when the film premiered – worth remembering that Designing Sound is a treasure trove of sound stories: designingsound.org/2007/10/23/exc…
