Podcasts are blasting through a popularity level we really haven’t seen since the release of the Apple iPod back in the mid-2000s.

Fun With Flangers

Loved by many — and mildly perplexing to perhaps the same number of players, — the patiently enduring flanger effect has been found on recordings since the mid-20th century, and at the feet of guitarists since the ’70s. Even though the effect can yield mild, nuanced results, the exaggerated “jet plane” sound is typically what […]
