038: Creative Editing and Producing Greatness-Season 5 Finale!

Catalyst: A Creative Industries Podcast

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this ‘hands-on’ experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of season 5 consists of two segments, with each segment featuring a different interview by one or more CCI students, who explore different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries.

To begin our show Samantha Young and her fellow interviewer Javari Hunt catch up with Troy Charbonnet, a working freelance film editor in the music industry. With editing credits that include working with artists such as Jack Harlow, Future, Halsey, and Roddy Rich to name but a few, Troy illuminates what it can be like as such a young working creative in Hollywood.

In the final section of the episode, and the season, former Catalyst producer Mike Gravagno comes back to interview current CCI faculty/Catalyst producer Ryan Haley to talk about Catalyst through the years. Ryan and Mike discuss some show highlights, season 5 quarantine challenges as well as what exciting new things listeners of the podcast can expect in season 6!
