AV SuperFriends: Off the Rails - There’s only one batman on our campus
Recorded September 12, 2025 It’s episode 1-2-3 Off the Rails, and the crew is joined by two special guests for an especially thick and robust panel for a discussion of multi-display classrooms that either delight faculty or guarantee support tickets, the eternal war over dongles, aspect ratios, and those pesky 4:3 PowerPoints that just won’t die. Special guests Tino Kaltsas and BC Hatchett jump into the chaos, sharing stories about bats in classrooms, rogue lighting complaints, and makeshift pandemic-era libraries-turned-classrooms. The panel debates whether multi-display AV systems are a blessing or a curse, all while tossing good-natured jabs and commiserating over faculty whiteboard obsession. And of course, it wouldn’t be an Off the Rails live show without the Weekly Rivalry segment featuring this week’s unlikely face-off between Wisconsin and Vanderbilt. With their original opponents chickening out, the Badgers and Commodores go toe-to-toe in a spirited four-quarter contest of AV wits, scored with touchdowns, field goals, and a surprising number of bats.

Recorded August 29, 2025 Just in time for the big Texas at Ohio State game, it’s a special episode of AVSF! When the calendar hands us a rare fifth Friday, the AV SuperFriends don’t take the week off. We go live with a special bonus episode full of chaos, competition, and classroom technology trash talk.
