What Now? with Alex Hartman - TWiRT Ep. 682

People who know Alex Hartman realize that he tends to be way ahead of the pack. Alex is typically just beyond the cutting edge of technology implementation. That often makes his comments hard to understand. But when you get to know Alex and understand his ideas and concerns, they usually do make very good sense. He’s also good at “breaking things”, revealing weak points in design. Today we’re discussing people, skills, and the uncertain future of talent sourcing. Alex has some real concerns and ideas about this. In his position at Wisconsin Public Media, Alex is hands-on with basic audio tech, but also data centers and managing fleets of equipment, computing, and sometimes people.

Once in a while, it’s of great value to take a pause in our hectic days and consider what the pathway forward is for broadcast engineering. Alex Hartman is the guest on this week’s Episode 682 of the TWiRT Podcast. He discusses the necessary merger of traditional broadcast engineering and information technology and some of the challenges that arise.
Broadcast engineers will find this discussion quite fascinating. Alex offers thoughtful analysis, and he also offers some possible solutions.

Very interesting. I have alternated through my working years between audio-video production/engineering/broadcast and IT,/business process analysis/online development/databases'/networking, etc. And keeping in touch with my other career as a "hobby. Which is why I am in my 45th year here in the Silicon Forest writing web pages and SQL, but watching TWiRT.
