Summary

Recorded October 3, 2025 In this episode, the crew gears up for the 2025 ETC Conference in Raleigh, NC, swapping predictions, travel plans, and a few questionable presentation ideas. Brandon Pope from NC State and Tim Cichos from Notre Dame join to preview what attendees can expect from the conference, from the carefully planned venues and community spirit to the sessions that promise to mix genuine insight with the usual mischief. The news segment debates goggles, infinite desktops, and TikTok eyewear that no one asked for. The panel also unpacks how AV and IT teams evolve from specialized support units to campus-wide partners. The Weekly Rivalry returns with campus tech bragging rights on the line with football-style scorekeeping applied to AV, IT, and higher ed technology showdowns.
