--COMPLETE EPISODE LISTING-- Two guests this time, Tommy Schaeffer and Nile Popchock,  two sound guys I have worked with on location.  This is the first part of the show.  (part B can be found here).   Because we just kept talking forever. I had a direction I kind of wanted to go with this, and while I'm sure other sound guys will enjoy the episode.  I think directors or assistant directors, or producers.  Whomever is managing the set, can learn a lot here about working with sound guys on location.  And the sort of subtle (or overt) conflict that so often occurs between picture and sound.
