This episode of the ECT Pod is one like none you've ever heard before. Not only because Tony is calling in from under a blanket in a closet in Boston for the recording session, and not even only because Eli is doing the audio editing--but also because the actual structure of the episode is a new one, in which the guys conduct a draft. Inspired by Eli's favorite baseball podcast, Effectively Wild, this week Eli and Tony each draft three things that they miss most about in-person events. Next episode in Part 2 of their draft extravaganza (draftaganza?), they'll each draft three things that they most look forward to for the industry when in-person events return.

Before they get to drafting, though, the guys talk about event people putting their talents to work doing non-event things (and how maybe if event people were in charge we would have the pandemic under control), Eli's employer's return to racing, and the Chicago Marathon Virtual Experience (and how good it is to be a World Marathon Major).

Want to find out what the guys drafted? Want to learn why Tony was podcasting from under a blanket in a closet? We're not giving away the good stuff in the shownotes, so you've gotta listen!
