Entertaining backstage talk

Anyone who has any interest in what goes on backstage will find these guys very entertaining even when they get pretty technical.

Great for the automation nerd...

Gareath & Royal allow you a hugh peak behind the curtain in how (& why) they do stage automation. As they talk about things, they don't "dumb it down" nor do they "techno-babble" the process, allowing the listen to understand what they are discussing regardless of their background. The only unfortunate thing is they are very busy, but I look forward to each time I see a new episode in my podcast feed. Thanks for the great podcast!
