Great Podcast
The only pocast to include two of my favourite things - programming and drinking! Well done and keep them coming!
the podcast for anyone involed with moving or conventional lighting fixtures.
If your involved in lighting control for concerts, theater, industrials or tv and film, you should check this podcast out. Joe and Cat teach both the theory and practice of running lighting consoles. They do an excellent job explaining the concepts and are entertaining at the same time. If that was not enough, they also have some excellent drink recipes at the top of each episode.
Two great people!
Cat and Joe...what a pair. Thanks for taking the time to put these up as podcasts. Makes it easy to keep them on the iPhone! Keep up the great work!
