Church techs spend their lives in the background. For most of them, they like it that way. However, everyone desires some amount of recognition and to feel seen. These church tech podcasts do just that as you hear from the church tech directors who make Sunday service happen each week.

- What would happen if two class clowns interviewed church tech directors? Their goal is to pull the tech director out of the booth and place them onto the stage to give their tech tips and hidden wisdom from the tech trenches. The hosts are the goofiest in the space and will bring you disaster stories and tech takeaways that’ll have you laughing and thinking at the same time. They interview the full spectrum of tech directors; one week it’ll be a well known name like Dennis Choy and the next they’ll shine a light on a tech director no one knows but everyone should.

- Why is a podcast about worship leaders on this list? Knowing how your onstage friends are doing and feeling that are giving you the music to mix is important. The partnership between worship leader and church tech is critical and will make or break a service going smoothly. This podcast amassed a following while the host was anonymous and speaking through a voice disguiser for the first 50 episodes. Now we all know it’s Brian Tabor and he has awesome, real life episodes each week. Brian interviews fellow worship leaders, the occasional tech director, and all of his episodes have fun segments like “Sliding into the DMs” and “Prayer Requests”.
