The Pedreira Podcast: Daily Summaries Delivered
by The Pedreira Podcast
Pedreira means quarry. I follow whatever grabs me. A question, a person, a world I know nothing about. I dig until I actually understand it, then it's on to the next thing. The Pedreira Podcast is long-form conversations and series, one subject at a time. Some seasons that's pastors. Some seasons it's fitness. Next season it might be something neither of us sees coming. The topics change because the point isn't the topic. It's the digging. Hosted, filmed, and edited by Joseph Pedreira Jr.

Recording an Audiobook in a Closet
I wrote a Jack the Ripper book, then narrated the whole audiobook myself in my closet. This episode is the full how-to: the gear (all in, under $500), turning a closet into a "poor man's studio," recording a reference clip for every character, my pre-recording routine (hot shower, Throat Coat with honey, room-temp water, and a green apple), cutting 30–40 minutes of takes down to a 9-minute chapter, mastering to ACX's specs with DaVinci Resolve and Claude, and getting it live on Audible.Next episode: I record the prologue live, mistakes and all.The Ripper: Heist to Hunted is on Audible, Kindle, and paperback.
