All Things TechIE Podcast - Episode 155

At IBC 2026 in Amsterdam, Justin Dawson sits down with Tim Albright from AV Nation to examine the technologies reshaping broadcast and AV. They discuss the shift from hardware boxes to software-based workflows, the practical trade-offs of cloud services, and AI’s role as a creative tool, including the ethical line between augmentation and stealing someone’s image, voice, or intellectual property.

The conversation also explores YouTube and social media as modern broadcast channels, the risks of algorithm driven “interest media,” citizen broadcasting, and the responsibility of creators and audiences to challenge misinformation. 

Justin Dawson and Tim Albright then look at women’s mentorship in broadcasting, immersive 360-degree live music, targeted advertising, privacy, accessibility through Japanese sign-language avatars, and gesture controlled drones before considering what it takes to build a lasting audience in today’s media industry.
