Have you ever been to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada?  No? Not many have, even though it’s a thriving city with excellent radio stations and a lively downtown social, shopping, and dining scene.  Saskatoon is also the home of Pippin Technical Service, a leading broadcast equipment dealer and project services firm for all of Canada. Pippin Technical, now “PTS”, is an early adopter of IT and broadcast technologies, including Audio over IP via Livewire and AES67.  PTS boasts highly capable on-staff engineers, technicians, and programming developers. In this TWiRT episode we get a tour of this premier equipment and services provider, plus we talk with Tyler Everitt, PTS’s President, as well as Evan Semenoff, developer of the new PTS Aurora GPIO interface. We also take a quick trip - a  live shot - out to a new studio under construction at Pattison Media in Kelowna, BC, Canada.
