    DOUGAL DOLHAGARAY - BACKSTAGE COWBOYS PODCAST

    🎙️ New episode drop, folks! The *Backstage Cowboys Podcast* is back — louder, brighter, and slightly better organized than my cable case. This time, we’re heading west to chat with **Dougal Dolhagaray**, the lighting director for the **Vancouver Canucks** — a guy who literally makes hockey *shine*. We talk lights, shows, creativity, and the beautiful chaos of keeping arenas glowing night after night. I also spill the beans on my new adventure with **DataVisual AV**, life after AVL, and how I’ve mastered the fine art of working from home (aka: avoiding Montreal traffic like a pro). 🎧 Tune in, laugh a little, learn a lot, and go backstage with the people who make the magic happen. #BackstageCowboys #Podcast #AVLife #LightingDesign #VancouverCanucks #ProAV #StageTech #EntertainmentIndustry

    MARCEL FAIRBAIRN - BACKSTAGE COWBOYS PODCAST

    Marcel Fairbairn had me on the Geezers of Gear podcast a few weeks ago and I really wanted to get more out of him so I asked him if he would like to be featured on the Backstage Cowboys Podcast and he accepted. Marcel also happens to be the founder and owner of Gear Source. THE online platform for selling and buying used professional AV gear worldwide. I have used it myself and I can tell you there's nothing else like it out there. https://www.geezersofgear.com/ https://gearsource.com/

From his early career as a production manager to working for the armed forces in Afghanistan to rebuilding Haiti and so on. Truly one of the best Backstage Cowboys interviews. Enjoy!

    PAR64 LED retrofit discussion - Backstage Cowboys Podcast

    Worried about PAR64 bulbs being discontinued? On this episode I'm talking with some folks who have engineered a solution to that problem. 2 brothers from California came up with an LED retrofit unit that pops right into your PAR64 or PAR56 CAN and runs on your existing dimmers. No install, no cabling, nothing. It's as easy as changing a bulb.

    Aaron ''SMOKEY'' Gehrt - Backstage Cowboys Podcast

    Aaron Gehrt, also known as ''SMOKEY'' is the repair manager for an American manufacturer called Blizzard pro lighting in Wisconsin. And his email signature also states that he prevents wild fires. Thats what happens when passionate people full of humor are involved. Just be warned though, this episode might get funky. But that's what the backstage cowboys podcast is all about. We're not only exploring the backstage universe but we're also going into the heads of those who make the infrastructure of the backstage.
