Happy 1-Year COVID Anniversary
Welcome to March everyone!! We’re one year into having to adjust to the “new normal” that is our COVID life. After 12 months of lockdowns, testing, new skills, new bad habits, and lots of changes, we are ready to move forward to be in a position of normality. Having said that we will be devoting our first episode this month to COVID, but after that we will be going back to The AV Life as normal. We will be having an episode chock FULL of the Firing Range and nothing but the Firing Range. We will be welcoming more AV Rock Stars and having some St. Paddy’s Day fun!! Tune in for all the fun and excitement!!

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.
