Earlier this year, I sat down with GirltalkHQ, the digital publication which describes itself as “an inclusive digital feminist magazine amplifying diverse voices + stories,” for an interview. But, I wanted to be sure that the article they released wasn’t just going to appeal to women or feminists. Instead, I hoped to give an interesting look inside a post-production sound studio that happens to be co-owned by a woman and which maintains a 50% female and gender-expansive staff (something unique in a world where Women’s Audio Mission is still citing that only 5% of those employed in audio are women) without giving gender any weight during hiring decisions.
Boom Box Post co-owner, Jeff Shiffman sat down with Cory Stillman from Awards Radar to chat about working on the Prime Video series Invincible and more!
Over the course of this winter, Boom Box Post has diligently worked on a number of new shows and special projects. We are proud to announce that two feature films that we worked on are now streaming!

Over the past few years, Dolby Atmos has become an increasingly common format in the industry. We are starting to see more and more movies, TV shows, and albums released in Atmos. What was once originally reserved for Hollywood blockbusters, has now trickled down to smaller scale productions, animation, and even childrens content. Thanks to advancements in technology, Atmos has grown increasingly accessible. Gone are the days when Atmos was a gimmick that could only be experienced in major theaters. With new affordable products such as soundbars, Atmos has been introduced into households across the world.
2023 marked substantial growth for Boom Box Post, introducing new shows, seasons, and features. Let’s reflect back on the year and see what we have accomplished, and what we look forward to!
