2025 Wrap Up: PASport VO, AI Reality Checks, Source-Connect Myths and What We Learned This Year

2025 has been a big year for The Pro Audio Suite, so this episode is a full end-of-year wrap up with Robbo, Andrew Peters, George "The Tech" Whitham, and Robert Marshall.

We look back at the biggest moments, the most downloaded episodes, the conversations that sparked the most reaction, and the industry shifts that actually mattered.

From the launch of the PASport VO and real-world use cases, to persistent Source-Connect confusion, to the realities of AI in voiceover and audio production, this episode ties together the themes that defined 2025 for working audio pros.

We also talk gear myths, room realities, video versus audio podcasting, career curveballs, and why experience still beats prompts every single time.

If you've followed the show this year, this is the episode that puts it all in context.
