Another Monday, another Event Tech Podcast, today introducing Crowd Mics for events! Everyone can relate to the annoyances of sound during a live event. Whether it's the speaker, the audience, or the AV company, these little glitches affect everyone. Ultimately, they affect the success of an otherwise awesome event, and no one wants that.

And today, five years later, Brandt and Will Curran welcome brothers Tim and Sean Halladay. For this week's Event Tech Podcast, the four reminisce about the rollercoaster past, what's new in the present, and what the future might bring.
