A glimpse behind the scenes of Spud's high-tech media nerve center...

Dave and Brian edited the show for 3 seasons in this editing suite. Notice the Tektronics waveform monitor in the upper left. This was a major capital investment for us, even used. It enabled us to obtain network-quality video levels. Notice the Sony Betacam-SP VTR in the center right. Now that really cost money. We included video of Mrs. Fenton, a Nielson family member, in the hopes she'll watch the show. It didn't work.
In 1947, the RCA TK-30 was the most advanced television camera in the world. Spud's show also uses television cameras, and they are even newer than this.
The Spud Goodman Show has always been a trailblazer in the effective use of nontraditional production technologies. When a neighboring butcher shop's refrigeration compressor introduced unwanted vibration into the studio floor, Spud's audio engineers countered with the exclusive IsoBagel Microphone Suspension System which reduced rumble transmitted through the floor by 10 dB.
