ABOUT:

I love a good bourbon, my R&B vinyl collection, the Green Bay Packers and…

Wait, that’s not what you wanted to know. Let’s start again…

Look at me doing important music things… And yes, that is a harmonica. I can play the pants off it; well, I could if harmonicas wore pants, that is…

I am Bradley Wik, the owner/founder of The Kindears Production Co. I am a professional/working musician and audio engineer. I started my recording career producing demos for myself and my friends when I got my first Pro Tools rig at age 18. Since those early days spent honing my skills behind the board and in the editing room, I have gone on to produce/engineer/mix full-length music albums and EP’s for myself, my wife and others.

Using those skills gained over the years, I have recently gotten into the podcast game via the Brave Fear Podcast (a podcast created by my wonderful/beautiful/genius wife, Brianne Wik). I started helping Brianne with production, recording duties, segment creation, ad-writing and sound editing and found it to be a natural and enjoyable fit.

Currently, I also work on a few other podcasts but since my main gig (musician) is mostly nights/weekends, I have time to bring on another podcast client.

BEFORE and AFTER audio example:

SERVICES:

Podcast Editing:

  • Adding intro/outro music/segment bumpers and ads (if provided or created by the Kindears Production Co.)

  • Entire episode will be reviewed/listened to/edited from start to finish

  • Long pauses, mess-ups, excessive uh/ums, etc. will be removed. I want your podcast to maintain a natural/conversational feel, so I try my best to edit with a light hand

  • Use of light sound production (compression, EQ, noise gate, etc.) to enhance your audio, bring it up to industry standards and make it sound as professional as possible

Getting Started with Podcasting:

  • Help in selecting proper recording equipment (options for all budgets)

  • Training on proper setup and use of recording equipment

  • Basic recording instructions

  • Help in creating your intro/outro (with or without music), segment bumpers, ads
