TWiRT 181 - Movin' On Up with Chris Tarr

Can great planning and preparedness reduce the trauma of a live radio studio move? Chris Tarr just moved Radio Milwaukee’s studios to a newly renovated building. Then, just when you thought everything was under control, a small disaster struck!

Tom Ray and Chris Tobin join me to talk about the excitement and perils of studio moves.

TWiRT 177 - Christian Vang: Challenge Accepted

Christian Vang, an engineer at ESPN Audio Technology Group, was asked to install an on-air talkshow system. The catch? The control room, talent studio, and call screeners are all in different cities, separated by hundreds of miles. “Challenge accepted!” Vang replied. Christian tells the story along with great advice for engineers to expand their skills and value.
