Recorded January 5, 2024

It's a new year and we're starting 2024 by looking backward! We return to a previous topic: working with integrators. On Off the Rails 78, we debated Marc's question about how to ensure we get delivered what we wanted from AV integrators… and that conversation prompted quite the debate on Twitter, led by friend of the show, Joe Way. So, we invited Joe on the show to talk in more than 140 characters. Did we solve it this time?

We also review an article from the Harvard Business review about working from home and we each select our favorite (or least favorite) products of 2023.

• Chris: Promethean ActivePanel LX
• Justin: Elgato Streamdeck
• Larry: Shure MXA310
• Jamie: Mystery Electronics FC8X
• Joe: Bose S1 Pro
• Joe's second pick: Symetrix xIO XLR
