TWiRT 198 - Brett Gilbert, Performance Studios

Decades ago, all radio stations had “performance studios”.  Local musicians and actors would perform for some or all of the broadcast day.  Today, a few radio stations have performance studios and even audience seating areas.  Brett Gilbert, Director of Engineering at Clear Channel in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Chris Tarr, DoE for 88Nine in Milwaukee, share thoughts and stories about these spaces. Plus, Brett introduces us radio engineers to stage lighting with a quick discussion of the technologies involved.

Guest:
Brett Gilbert, Director of Engineering, Clear Channel - Tulsa, Oklahoma

TWiRT 197 - Show and Tell and Dial and Smile

Thoughts and recommendations on Ethernet routers, and Kirk introduces the authoritative book about the history of Phone Phreaking, “Exploding the Phone”. Kirk and Andrew Zarian introduce the wide-open subject of putting listener-callers on-air, both on broadcast radio and on podcasts. It’s a great introduction to a future episode where we’ll give a thorough “how-to” on interviewing guest and taking callers by phone.
