    Episode 5: The Sound of Success: Inside the Craft of Audio with Eric Bini
    Sep 1 2025
    In Episode 5 of TV Crew Talk, Howie sits down with longtime collaborator Eric Bini, an audio engineer who has worked on everything from NHL Productions to HBO, Netflix, and all-access sports documentaries.
    Eric pulls back the curtain on the invisible craft of sound - wiring athletes, hiding mics, and managing the unpredictable challenges of live production.
    From the chaos of set environments to the quiet discipline of prep days, he shares why collaboration and planning are the keys to making crews succeed.
    If you’ve ever wondered what really goes into capturing sound that audiences don’t notice - but can’t live without, this conversation will give you a whole new respect for the role of audio in live television and film.

    Ep 4: 30 Years of Sesame & Beyond: Frank Campagna on Storytelling, Reinvention, and Autism Advocacy
    Aug 18 2025
    In Episode 4 of TV Crew Talk, Howie sits down with Frank Campagna, a 2x Emmy Award-winning producer, director, and creative leader who spent over 30 years shaping children’s television at Sesame Workshop. From starting out in 1994 to leading teams across studio shoots, animation, and international productions, Frank’s story is one of constant reinvention. But what makes his journey truly powerful is how his personal life shaped his professional path.

    When his son was diagnosed with autism, Frank found a new purpose in creating content for Sesame’s autism initiative, blending his craft with his calling.
    Now stepping into the next chapter as a freelancer, writer, and advocate, Frank shares lessons on creativity, resilience, and the heart behind every project. 🎙️
    Tune in for a conversation about storytelling, leadership, and why the best productions are always about more than what happens on camera.
