About this listen

Welcome to the Loc'd Ones Podcast, where we pull back the curtain on the unseen world of media localization
and explore how stories travel through subtitles, dubbing, voice-over, and audio description.

We sit down with notable industry people and beyond to talk about the challenges of translating humor, the tech behind creating timed text,
the importance of media accessibility, and many other cool things!

Whether you’re a seasoned pro, a curious newbie, or just a filmmaker wondering why your jokes didn’t land in a certain region, this is the place to get Loc’d in.

Presented by: Subtle, the International association of subtitlers.

    Loc'd Ones Episode 1: Scott McCarthy, VP at DreamWorks
    Nov 20 2025

    Max and Bill from Subtle sit down with Scott McCarthy, VP at DreamWorks. We promised him no hot sauce, but Bill brought spicy memes instead. We dive into bringing Shrek to Māori audiences, the Subtitling vs. Dubbing wars, SDH, filmmakers' involvement, and the actual reality of AI in localization. Plus, Scott gives us the fascinating backstory on the EGA Awards controversy and how a "huge oversight" turned into a mission to get translators the credit they deserve.
