57: The Other Choice is More Stupid

AV SuperFriends On Topic Episode 57: The Other Choice is More Stupid

Recorded March 14, 2025

In this episode, the gang dives into the annual ritual of spring cleaning, sharing their unique takes on what it means to declutter in the AV world. From the challenges of managing outdated equipment to the humorous anecdotes of discovering long-forgotten gear, the panel explores the importance of refreshing and reorganizing their spaces.

Join Chris, Jamie, Marc, Larry, and Justin as they discuss their personal spring cleaning projects, including the hard decisions around legacy systems and the sometimes absurd lengths they go to keep things running. Expect plenty of laughs, insightful commentary, and the camaraderie that only comes from years of shared experiences in the AV field.
