We kick off with a call to action for viewers to vote for Curt Hare and Point Source Audio for the regional Hometown Hero Award. The conversation shifts into high gear as Curt shares details about his newly acquired Gamble console, which he's modifying with a quad panner to rebuild the Dark Star Orchestra's sound system. We also touch on gear news, including the Digico 638 Quantum console release, and break down the mechanics of using balanced power systems at major events like the Oscars and Grammys.\nBeyond the tech talk, the group shares personal stories, from Gregory’s memories of driving Aerosmith’s equipment across Australia in 1977 to nostalgic experiences owning vintage Volkswagen Beetles. Jan discusses his upcoming broadcast from Osaka, Japan, and the panel explores how AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are changing the game for real-time travel translation and navigation. We wrap up with an update on our YouTube channel’s growth, a dive into online privacy using the Cloaked app, and an announcement for our upcoming Medicare open enrollment panel with Brian J. McEvilly, RHU of McEvilly Benefits.\nOur ZoomCast isn’t just a fountain of industry knowledge; it’s also an opportunity to laugh. Think of it as therapy, but with more jokes and fewer couches. Stay updated on life and world events, share your thoughts, and enjoy multiple good chuckles along the way.\n📅 When: Wednesday September 23rd at 4:45 PM Pacific (UTC-7) / 7:45 PM Eastern\n📍 Where: Zoom Streaming live on YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn\nRemember to share this with your friends and see you on the show, – Jan\nTo participate on the panel and to ask your questions and tell your tales: Please register...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/3EFmqE2SzMQ85QV7XRZIkfL_VozjOHYmls2ocAtSUhs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82NTFi/ODAzY2MzZWUyYTY5/MmM5YjRlMTMyYTBm/NmVhZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
