Episode 38- The Sound of Sport
(Press Play Above)

If Dennis Baxter and Bill Whiston are doing their job right, you probably don’t notice that they’re doing their job. But they are so good at doing their job, that you probably don’t even know that their job exists at all. They are sound designers for televised sporting events. Their job is to draw the audience into the action and make sports sound as exciting as possible, and this doesn’t mean they put a bunch of microphones on the field. It sometimes means they fake it.
Peregrine Andrews produced this piece narrated by Dennis Baxter for Falling Tree Productions for BBC Radio4. It is an extract from a much longer, and really stunning doc called “The Sound of Sport.”
If you search the internet you may be able to find the full length version. Ahem.

Het geluid bij sportwedstrijden op tv en radio wordt aangedikt, gemanipuleerd en opgeleukt. Wist jij niet? Ik ook niet.
