We are back! It has been a minute, and we're sorry to have such a gap between episodes... But, WOW! What can we say about this one?! We are honored to have a special guest joining us in The AV Room: Becki Peckham of the YouTube channel Becki and Chris!

This was such a fun one for us, we are mega fans of Becki's work. Everything from design, to photography, to... oh, you know... just running an entire YouTube channel and Brand! Becki was so generous with her time, and we chatted via Zoom for over 2 hours (and we could've likely gone on longer!) We talk about the Becki and Chris channel, the brand, their start, and some recent bigger projects they've been taking on. Let's just say you would be hard pressed to find anyone with a better eye for the aesthetic than Becki!

We did record this back in July of 2021, and due to some very heavy time constraints from all 3 of us (you'll hear a bit about them in the episode) it took awhile to finally get it out to you, our listeners!

Since this episode came out, Becki and Chris released a KILLER new helicopter travel series called HEADING:EAST. You'll absolutely want to see this one, and then also go watch COLD ISLAND.

We have a special guest joining us in The AV Room: Stephen Eckert! You might know him as the right hand man / cinematographer / editor / talent... the list goes on... for Jared Polin AKA FroKnowsPhoto on YouTube. He shares with us how he got started, and what gear he used in the beginning (it seems a lot of photographers started off photographing concerts!) and he also shares with us his career progression all the way up to how he ended up working with Jared. This is a little longer form than our last several episodes, but we likely could have chatted with Stephen all day!

Welcome back for Episode 5! In this episode, we talk about ALL of the NEWs. New Camera for Dan (you'll never guess what it is) New Career, New M1 Macs, and the new M1 iMac (ugly or no?). Of course, we will get off track, off topic, and maybe even rant a little, but we're all a little old and crotchety sometimes... Am I right?!
