A good studio day is invisible to the audience. The lighting holds, the audio is clean, the switches are calm, and the story stays in front. That is the standard Orpheus aims for when we produce video, podcasts, and virtual events. Virtual events and webinars were virtually unknown at the time, and most of us were still dragging ourselves to the office in person five days a week.
