We kick off with a call to action for viewers to vote for Curt Hare and Point Source Audio for the regional Hometown Hero Award.

We also touch on gear news, including the Digico 638 Quantum console release, and break down the mechanics of using balanced power systems at major events like the Oscars and Grammys. Beyond the tech talk, the group shares personal stories, from Gregory’s memories of driving Aerosmith’s equipment across Australia in 1977 to nostalgic experiences owning vintage Volkswagen Beetles. Jan discusses his upcoming broadcast from Osaka, Japan, and the panel explores how AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are changing the game for real-time travel translation and navigation.
