Mike and Eric are finally joined by… well… me. After a bunch of years I finally sat down in front of a microphone and polluted your ears for an hour, or so! Who am I? Guess you’ll have to listen to find out. Anyway, there is much more going on in the show. We talked about a couple real issues then dropped our top 5 li…

Luckily the guys haven’t forgotten how to record a podcast. All you SecondShift-ers out there know the drill. “No time” excuses and a bunch of blah blah stuff like that.

Mike and Eric record live from the conference floor of AMTC, right from their little slice of medical heaven (their booth).

Mike Verkest didn't want y'all to miss this episode that was recently delivered from the "other podcast" we produce around here.

Up to no good as usual, the guys have managed to sneak out of a review class in Portland, Oregon to try out their new tech. Can you imagine? Like 2 hogs looking at a wrist watch.
