You're listening to 20,000 Hertz, the stories behind the world's most recognizable and interesting sounds.
I'm Dallas Taylor.
Well, Dallas, I've told this story before,
but this is the first time I'm telling it to the person who is in the story.
I would love to hear it.
This is my friend Sean.
Hi, I'm Sean Michael Colon.
I am a director and a audio engineer and a filmmaker.
Sean recently made a documentary about podcasting called Age of Audio.
How did Age of Audio come to be?
Like, how'd you get the idea?
I was working on one of the potential follow-up documentaries to my first documentary,
and it was about this band called The Wilhelm Scream.
And anyone who's a longtime fan of 20,000 Hertz knows that there's an episode on the sound of Wilhelm Scream.
The Charge at Feather River was the film that gave Wilhelm its name,
but it was the second film it was used in.
What was the first?
And because I wanted to include where the history of that sound came from,
I reached out to this podcast host named Dallas Taylor to see if he would do an interview
with me about this particular sound as an expert, if you will.
