Possibly the best regional conference for Radio and TV engineers, the WBA Broadcasters Clinic is our venue in Madison, Wisconsin. John Chelliah, Steve Lampen, Chris Tarr, and Mark Persons make-up an all-star cast for this episode of TWiRT. We’re talking 12 GHz coax, AoIP, and console-less consoles, live from Madison.

The "pill" suppresses ovulation by the combined actions of the hormones estrogen and progestin or in some cases progestin alone. According to The American Hair loss Association and most hair loss experts, women who are predisposed to androgenic alopecia or common female pattern hair loss can be hypersensitive to the hormonal changes taking place while on the pill or other hormonal forms of birth control. These changes can trigger the early onset of genetic hair loss which can occur while on the pill or several weeks or months after stopping the pill. Once that trigger is switched on, it is might not be able to be switched off. If you ever wondered why women’s hair loss seems more prevalent today than in any other time in history, take a close look at the side effects of these hormonal medications and you might find the answer.

Jordan Bitz walked into an existing AoIP radio station and had to learn it - fast! Now he’s extended his AoIP network to a transmitter site 30 miles across the valley. Plus, he’s using streaming audio for distribution and backup systems. Also on this episode, David Bialik previews an amazing Broadcast and Streaming track at the AES Convention in New York.

Google announces a slew of new hardware including the new Pixel and Pixel XL, a new Chromebook, and new Google Home smart devices. How do the new Pixel phones compare to last year's model? Andrew and Paul also run down new hardware from HP such as the new 13 inch Spectre x360. And Andrew questions whether Apple is losing it's way.

We reviewed "3-Headed Shark Attack." Why? Because we hate ourselves. Next up is "Fuller House" season three, episode one. Why? Because Iyaz hates Eric (for this week).

In this SPECIAL EPISODE, GonnaGeek Network’s Official GonnaGeek.com Show crosses-over with GFQ Network’s Tech News Weekly (aka Sunkast’s tech news show that he’s been doing since 2010) to run down the latest tech news happenings including Google Assistant coming to Chrome OS, Amazon releasing a whole ton of Echos, SpaceX flying people to Mars by 2024, Twitter increasing the character limits and a whole bunch more. Of course, we’ll also add a dash of GonnaGeek.com Show flavor with SP giving his first thoughts after using his Apple iPhone 8 Plus for a couple weeks.

Spencer Kobren and Joe Tillman speak with a 27 year, multiple procedure, hair transplant veteran about his mostly positive, but conflicting emotional experience in fighting the good fight to maintain a full looking head of hair for the better part of his life.  If you are a young guy considering hair transplant surgery, this is a show you really need to check out.

Paul also runs down details of Windows 10 S for first line Workers.

One of us endorses cults (sort of). Another creates a chimera of movies (sort of). And yet another endorses either or neither (sort of).

The Emergency Alert System - EAS - suffers a love-hate relationship with most broadcast stations. Radio folks may love the fact that EAS handles the burden of alerting the public to life and safety threats. But sometimes the program interruptions are just too much, and the audio quality is often just terrible. Rob Dale is the Regional Planner at the Ingham County, Michigan, Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management. He’s also a broadcaster and meteorologist. Rob joins us to discuss the state of EAS, training, and where we might be headed.
