Episode 47: Just Don’t Do Zero Trust
Recorded (and streamed live) on May 17, 2024
This month’s topic is “InfoComm” so we saw that as an opportunity to discuss what trends we’re seeing, what we’re looking forward to and what types of products we’re looking for at the show. We also teased some of the recordings and events we’ll be attending at InfoComm so follow us on the Tweeters and LinkedIn to find us on the show floor and get some special AVSF swag!

AV Superfriends: On Topic
Episode 46: A Lazy Mistake
Recorded April 16, 2024
This month’s topic is “Commencement” and we don’t want to talk about that. So, instead, we’re going to talk about working with students, graduating students to the next level of their academic and professional careers, and converting student workers into full time employees.
We stream our recording sessions for On Topic live on or about 3pm Eastern / 12pm Pacific on the third Friday of each month. Follow us on Twitter or LinkedIn to join our next show.

45: Spring Cleaning
Recorded March 15, 2024
It’s time to get out the mops and brooms, clear out those storage closets, gather up all your old Class A amplifiers, analog cameras, and CRT monitors and throw them in the nearest waterway. If anyone asks, you have a permit and you’re just returning those parts to nature. Besides, it’s all biodegradable if you wait long enough…
Marc is getting rid of wires, Larry is removing tiny displays from big rooms, Jamie is throwing away older monitors with weird resolutions, Chris is deleting transport controls, and Justin hates all the remotes with the buttons cut off.
Let’s get cleaning!

44: The Plan Was Flawless
On Topic Episode 44: The plan was flawless
Recorded (and streamed live) on February 16, 2016
This month’s topic is “rethinking spaces” so we decided to discuss projects that we’ve completed recently that we wish we’d approached differently. Marc hates microphones, Chris hates complexity, Justin hates how the AV services are marketed on campus, Jamie hates treating rooms as clones of one another, and Larry hates blanket approaches (and single monitors on lecterns).
We stream live on the 3rd Friday every month and you can listen to everything we record over at AVSuperFriends.com

43: BYOD is an AV Rodent
AV Superfriends: On Topic
Episode 43: BYOD is an AV Rodent
Recorded January 19, 2024
Our topic for February is “things just won’t go away” or “things that keep coming back year after year” like Groundhog Day. We’ve each selected items that we all hope might see their shadow and disappear for a while. BYOD, VR, terrible marketing, wireless sharing, and more. We’re also testing some format changes to On Topic to keep the show shorter and LIVE on various platforms, so look for those unannounced live streams on the socials.
Alternate titles:
I was thinking about this hard
I still can’t stop
Bad marketing
This is why people strap goggles to their head to visit the zoo
It kinda fluctuates in and out
This is why people think holograms exist

42: People Will Start Laughing at Us
On Topic Episode 42: People will start laughing at us
Recorded December 20, 2023
(Part 2 of 2)
It’s our third annual prediction show! And I predict we’ll do it again next year.
We first review our predictions from last year to see just how well we did. Some of us were dead on, others were hit & miss, and yet others seem to be deliberately vague just to claim accuracy regardless of outcome.
Then, we each prognosticate on what to expect in 2024. Much of it seems to be around AI and Teams. Sorry.
This discussion lasted almost an hour, so we split it into two episodes.
