Todd sits down with one of his favorite people, TC Furlong, to talk about the barriers to a great production. These barriers aren't just about better technology, but about our processes and even the relationships we have with our team.

Mike Sessler shares his story and how each experience has helped to shape how he approaches production in the local church. We talk about ad agencies, portable churches and tanning beds!

Caleb and Todd talk about the idea of FILO Staffing. What skills are churches looking for and what types of technical people churches are actually going to find. How can we help make the local church more effective through being the type of technical artists the church needs?

Todd sits down with old friend and FOH mixer Scott Ragsdale to talk about mixing audio in church, on the road, or for local bands at the VFW.
