Make A Difference

The live event industry deserves more voices it can trust. Although we offer products that we will reference in some episodes, in general, we are not here to sell you anything or hype anyone.

Why This Show Exists

The live event industry deserves more voices it can trust. Although we offer products that we will reference in some episodes, in general, we are not here to sell you anything or hype anyone.

MAD Events Podcast is a direct voice for event production professionals — independent contractors, freelancers, large companies, boutique shops, and anyone who's ever built something live.

Hosted by Mark Bowling, Chief Shepherd of BlackSheep Productions, this show explores technology (with a focus on AI), sustainability, client relationships, crew culture, and the real challenges of building events that matter.

Whether you're a veteran producer or just getting started, this show is for you.
