hi Jim,

They=92re both on radio mics I would think. V close up voice, not much ambi=
ent sound, and a bit of variation in the tone of the voice as their heads t=
urn are signs. Obviously leaves everyone hands free to do whatever they=92r=
e doing

cheers!

Hi all,

Fairly new to this so please forgive if this is a simple question. I=92ve b=
een enjoying some natural history podcasts from the BBC lately. Prime examp=
le would be this one:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00vv5pn <http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b=
00vv5pn>

My question is, how would you mic and with what types of mics for making a =
program like this? It seems that a lot of natural history programs such as =
Mr. Watson=92s fine work, are made by collecting the sounds and then adding=
 commentary in a studio. But these BBC programs appear to be done out and a=
bout. I would guess the presenter and the guest are each miced because you =
don=92t seem to get the low audio at the instant someone begins talking as =
you would if they were passing a mic back and forth.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Best,

Jim
