Welcome to May!
It’s gonna be May! And in May we are talking about AV in IT… or is it IT in AV? Do they belong together? We are going to dive deeply into this topic throughout the month. We are going to bring end-users, integrators, manufactures, and as many aspects of IT as possible! We are going to try and see what the final answer is… if there is an answer. Listen in each week as we explore!
This Month’s episodes
“183: Forest Fires and Cyber security”
This week it’s just Tim, Spence, Murphy, Nancy, and James. We talk about Security (because it always needs to be discussed), Forest Fires (Only you can prevent forest fires), and we respect our veteran knowledge with the PM Minute! We tease a little for our June episodes and have a ton of fun in the process! Listen in and enjoy!!
“182: The rise of AV in IT”
In this week’s episode we welcome back some old friends of The AV Life: Michelle Loret, Frank Padikkala, and Rich Ventura. We take a moment to remember our good friend John Greene, have our PM Minute with Murphy, and we put an end to May and to the AV in IT Saga as we see the rise of what will be AV IN IT! (Sorry Tim watched too much Star Wars this month) Take a listen and enjoy!!
“181: No Shop Talk”
We’ve been through a lot over the last 15 months so for this week’s episode we had two rules: No shop talk and no talk of COVID. We were mostly successful in abiding by those rules. Tim and the crew welcome: Aaron Peterson, Tom Milner, Will DeWitt, Page Stanberry, and Harry Meade. We talk about our best and worst live events (because we’re AV people and when you don’t talk about work that’s the closest thing you can), Murphy has a moment, and we all have an awesome time! Take a listen and enjoy!
“180: The Revenge of AV in IT”
This week the Tim and the crew welcome back Aaron Peterson and Will DeWitt to the show. We finally come down to our final (maybe?) answer to the AV in IT debate. We bring on Murphy with her PM minute and take on Virtual Office Windows in The Firing Range! Take a listen and see if you agree with our final answer to the AV in IT debate! We want to hear from you!
“179: AV and IT: A Beginning”
Welcome to May!!! May is AV and IT month here at higheredav.com! To kick things off we do a segue episode where we invite Rick Stanley from Userful to discuss their AV over IP products. This provides us a perfect transition from Emerging Technology into the hotly contested world of AV and IT… or is it AV in IT??? Or IT in AV?? That’s what May is for! We have a great PM Minute with Murphy, talk about Rutgers upcoming Breathalyzer style COVID test, and set our sights on the scamming women for birthday presents in the Firing Range. Enjoy!!
Last Month’s episodes
“178: Podcast Crashers”
This week Tim and the crew welcome Andrew Kornstein from Sennheiser and Erin Maher-Moran to join in on the fun and excitement. Before we even get going, we are invaded by a hooded figure, we are all befuddled! Erin is our AV Rock Star this week and she talks about all the amazing things she has going on plus we even talk about Roller Derby! Andrew enlightens us to emerging technology from Sennheiser. We have our PM Minute with Murphy where we dissect “Scope creep” and we take on digital advertising additions to classic films in the Firing Range. Enjoy!!
“177: Truth, Chips, and the Robot Way”
This week’s episode brings Tim and the Crew together as we discuss having the hard conversations as a project manager, the chip shortage and how things aren’t made the way they used, and the uptick in autonomous robotic delivery services on the Firing Range. Listen in for all the fun and excitement!
“176: While the Cat is Away”
This week Tim is taking the week off to celebrate his birthday. While he is away Murphy takes the helm and leads the crew talking about a return to normality with trips, lunches, and golf tournaments. The PM Minute brings us how to be “Zoomagenic.” We take a music break to honor our Founder Corey Moss. James talks about his new show: Ask The Programmer. We talk CAVLO and the new HETMA Board of Directors. And of course, we have the Firing Range featuring Aliens. Tune in and enjoy!!
