TWiRT 164 - Me and 4,294,967,296 Friends

How did we get to this point where the end of ISDN is worrying broadcast engineers? Was ISDN that good? Is IP-audio that scary? Can we master the packets and get IP connections to work reliably and robustly for us as broadcasters? The answer is – mostly yes.

TWiRT 163 - NAB Free for All

Well, NAB is hardly what you’d call “free.” But Chris Tobin and Kirk Harnack were there, and were able to spend a little time scouting the Central Hall where most of the radio industry manufacturers are.

Chris Tarr joins us from NOT NAB – in Mukwanago, Wisconsin – where engineering life is good.

We’re dishing’ on NAB – some new products and the state of affairs we call “radio.”
