What makes a live performance feel human? This week on Hear Us Out, we sit down with acclaimed audio engineer and producer Josh Rogosin, the creative force behind the sound of NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts and the founder of Global Sound Concerts . After engineering more than 800 Tiny Desk performances, Josh is now traveling the world capturing artists in meaningful spaces — recording raw, intimate performances that connect music, culture, and place. In this conversation, Josh takes us behind the scenes of Tiny Desk, explains why the room itself becomes part of the music, and shares how his philosophy of “less technology, more humanity” shaped both projects. We explore microphone placement, live recording without safety nets, the psychology of listening, and why imperfect moments often become the most unforgettable. From theaters and tunnels to city streets and historic studios, Josh reveals how Global Sound Concerts is redefining the way we experience live music around the world.
