Joseph Maloney - Producer
Joe is a true creative by nature. When he’s not editing podcast episodes, you’ll find him singing at a gig, as a videographer onset, or working cattle. He’s the reason behind the professional sound quality of our episodes.
Each interview is recorded in Joe’s professional recording studio located remotely on his family’s property - all of which are meticulously edited by Joe for many hours after the interview has ended.
