TWiRT 800 - An Engineered Alternative to Satellite Delivery with Adrian Berkovits

For the 800th episode of This Week in Radio Tech, we’re joined by Adrian Berkovits of Adventure33 to take a deeper technical look at the Prism audio program distribution platform. Adrian explains how Prism can serve both as a one-to-many program delivery system for radio networks and as a reliable studio-to-transmitter link solution for individual broadcasters. The discussion covers redundancy strategies, transport concepts, endpoint deployment, and practical implementation considerations for broadcast engineers. Adrian also shares the development philosophy behind Prism and details many of the technical nuances engineers will want to understand before deploying a modern IP-based program distribution system. Join us for Episode 800 of TWiRT for an informative engineering-focused conversation about modern audio distribution for radio broadcasting.
