TWiRT 202 - Engineering Hacks

hack n. an inelegant but effective solution to a problem

Often there’s more than one way to solve an engineering problem. There is usually the normal approach, and then there are one or more “hacks”. Some hacks are elegant and others – not so much. In this episode, Chris Tobin and Kirk Harnack discuss radio engineering hacks – unusual yet effective ways to fix and use broadcast equipment.

TWiRT 200 - War Stories from Sochi

On the eve of the 2014 Winter Olympics, Westwood One’s VP-Engineering, Mitch Glider, joins us live from Sochi, Russia. Mitch and his colleagues have assembled a long-form studio plus several reporters’ workstations.  Now the hard prep work pays off and engineering vigilance begins as hours and hours of Olympic radio coverage is fed back to New York for affiliate distribution. Mitch takes us through the studio build and the technologies employed to bring live commentary and reports from across the Olympic venues and ship the final products back home.
