WCA #251 with Piper Payne - Infrasonic Sound, survivalist audio, asking for help, losing a parent and new opportunities.

Piper Payne is a mastering engineer who has been a guest on WCA before (See WCA #045). She has been through some business experiences and changes since we last spoke and now has set up a homebase in Nashville but also continues to spend time in Oakland where she still has a facility. She joins me for a discussion of those changes and opportunities post Summer NAMM.
