Happy New Year!
Happy New Year The AV Life followers!!
As we enter this new year of 2021 we start not by looking back but looking ahead. We are leaving the craziness of 2020 behind and moving forward with hope and optimism that by the end of this year we will have some level of normality.
We will be releasing our first episode on January 4th with a special solo release from your host Tim. Tim will be giving his thoughts on 2020 and his vision for 2021 both for himself and for The AV Life.
During the rest of the month, we will be bringing the crew back (possibly adding another crew member **hint hint**) and releasing episodes about network security, breaking down the digital divide, as well as planning for the summer and the months ahead. We will have special guests and more of the weekly segments you have come to expect, The PM Minute and The Firing Range **pew pew**
We will be releasing the videos of all of our episodes so that you can finally see all the excitement and fun backgrounds!
We are all excited for the year ahead and can’t wait to bring you all the knowledge, fun, and insanity that you have come to love from The AV Life.
Until our next adventure… Thanks everyone and Happy New Year!!!!

About the Show
The AV Life is a weekly podcast where we talk (or ramble off topic about) about AV, technology, food, weird things, and whatever else comes into our lives!
We have fan favorite segments like the PM (Project Manager) minute and The Firing Range. The Firing Range is where we take hot topics, divide into teams and debate our side of the argument.
