The Boxing Trainer

Available for over a year

It's the build up for fight night as boxing trainer Peter Stanley prepares his protégé Simon Corcoran for his professional debut. Part of a new series of immersive features which allow the listener to step inside the heads of a compelling character and explore their world. Recorded in binaural stereo using the latest recording techniques for a rich, lifelike, 3-D sound. Subjects wear a small microphone in each ear, picking up sound just like the human ear. Whatever they hear, we hear - how they hear it. The series is best heard on headphones. Recorded at the legendary York Hall in London's East End, experience the night as they did - backstage and in the ring - where the stakes are high for Simon. Producer Neil McCarthy
