The Sound Off Podcast is a weekly podcast about podcasting, radio, broadcasting, voiceover, and the people shaping the modern audio industry.
Hosted by veteran broadcaster and voice artist Matt Cundill, The Sound Off Podcast takes listeners behind the scenes of audio with in-depth conversations featuring podcast creators, radio professionals, producers, programmers, voiceover talent, media executives, and industry innovators. Drawing on decades of experience in radio and podcasting, Matt brings context, credibility, and curiosity to every episode.
Each episode explores the craft, business, and culture of audio, covering topics such as podcast growth, audience development, monetization, advertising, sponsorship, dynamic ad insertion, analytics, distribution platforms, audio branding, and emerging trends in on-demand audio. From legacy radio to independent podcasts and branded content, the show examines how audio continues to evolve — creatively, technologically, and commercially.
The Sound Off Podcast is known for thoughtful, candid interviews that go beyond surface-level talking points. Guests include radio legends, podcast pioneers, seasoned producers, voiceover artists, and leaders working across podcast networks, media companies, and technology platforms. Conversations focus on real-world experience: what works, what doesn’t, and what creators and companies need to understand to succeed in today’s audio landscape.
Whether you work in podcasting, radio, voiceover, broadcasting, or digital media — or you’re simply fascinated by how audio storytelling works — The Sound Off Podcast delivers insider perspectives, practical insights, and honest discussions about the future of sound.
With a balance of industry expertise and accessible conversation, The Sound Off Podcast is designed for professionals, creators, and listeners who want a deeper understanding of how audio connects audiences, builds brands, and drives culture.
New episodes are released weekly.
In the podcast world, a feed drop is when one podcast publishes an episode from another podcast directly into its own feed. I know, sounds serious. It's not really. It's basically a way to share and promote another show by letting your audience hear an actual episode of it. That's what you're getting today. Now, for a few years, you might have heard this on the Sound Off Podcast: "Transcription of the Sound Off Podcast is powered by the You May Also Like Podcast, the show about people, places and things. Follow the show on your favorite podcast app, or at YouMayAlsoLike.net."
Well, what is that show? Originally, it was called the Hot Air Podcast with Matt Cundill, and then it morphed into something different. You May Also Like tells stories about creatives who aren't necessarily in broadcasting. Today's episode, though, does feature someone well known to the broadcast world. David Tyler has appeared on the Sound Off Podcast before- way back in 2016- and recently he appeared on You May Also Like. So do me a favor, give this show a like and a follow, and I hope you like the short format, presentation and style of it.
David Tyler, a seasoned broadcast and voiceover talent since the 80s, discusses the importance of communication. He emphasizes that effective communication is more than just words, and shares techniques for concise speech, such as recording and editing one's own words. Tyler's book, "Connect: A Field Guide for Master Communicators," aims to help young professionals improve their communication skills, advocating for brevity and preparation. He also highlights the need for cultural sensitivity in communication and the power of silence to deepen engagement.
David's podcast, "The Master Communicator," complements his book by offering bite-sized communication lessons.
