It's the Lighting Nerds! Into Logic and out of it again in an actually reasonable amount of time, belive it or not. Though sort of unreasonable when it comes to how long it's been since we released.

| Episode 043 - Gosh | 04 Dec 2023 | 01:03:04 | |
Zounds! We're back again with a fresh helpin' of down-home, Wisconsin-grade minced oaths. We've got so much forking content to get through that if we don't get talking, we might driven to harder words like frickin' or shirtballs. At least there won't be any trolley problems. In this episode:
During the time of holiday cheer, whatever you celebrate, may the light of truth and the warmth of love go with you in your hearts. | |||

The Lighting Nerds! We're still around. Thanks so many to the many, many people who stepped up in to say that they'd be happy to host a show with me, it felt really good to find out that people still care and want to help. Introducing a new host who will be around (I hope!) a while, it's Alex! From Australia. You might know him as the guy who makes the Console Training videos on YouTube. He's also a Lighting Nerd.
In this episode, our first in several months:
And finally… Merry Christmas And a very special tip of the hat to those who believe in nothing but still want holiday pay. May one day people all over the world not just tolerate but celebrate different faiths and cultures, and have their greetings accepted in the spirit they were given, without fear of being mocked and laughed at by those who lack understanding.

Dear interwebs, we promise never to be away this long again. If two or more of us aren't available, we'll do an episode anyway. Maybe a short one, maybe a long one, maybe with a guest. But we'll stick to that two week (about) schedule from now on. Probably. Maybe. Also, new cohost with Craig today: say 'ello to Josh. Gavin will be back in November-ish. In this, our pre-LDI episode, we talk about a lot of new lights! Chew on this:
| |||

| Episode 010 - We Get Emails | 28 Mar 2016 | 00:43:26 | |
Geeze, enough with the late episodes, Craig! I was prepping a new rig and programming video and lighting alike and had two shows this weekend. Audio quality and editing skill in this episode: 6/10. Sorry. I'm on the road. Anyway, Episode 010 is hot off the proverbial presses and it's low-key but high in content. And fiber.
| |||
| Episode 009 - Colors, colors everywhere | 03 Mar 2016 | 01:02:13 | |
We're back, 24 hours late this time because one of us - not saying who but his name rhymes with KAVIN - is cavorting about Europe, surrounded by history and country music fans. In this episode:
| |||

Hi guys! I'm trying some new things with the audio levels, trying to keep stuff around where most other podcasts are. So maybe you'll notice some changes from previous episodes in terms of audio levels. Shouldn't be too big an inconvenience. I hope.
In this episode!

| Episode 041 - Even Squarespace Wont' Touch Us | 13 Jul 2022 | 01:04:27 | |
It's episode 041! Not episode 042. That's the next episode. You know, I made some really delicious brussels sprouts tonight, they were like...flavor sponges. They were SO GOOD with the mustard and maple sauce that I made. Anyway...where am I? Who are you people? This episode was recorded in March, so things are a teensy-tiny bit out of date, but stick with us, folks. We have some good stuff here to talk about. Starting with:

| Episode 005 - Only fourteen hours late | 07 Jan 2016 | 00:38:51 | |
Between having a nasty upper respiratory infection (just what you want when you're a podcaster) gigging over New Years, and moving to different houses, it's a wonder we're only fourteen hours late on this one. Anyway, fresh off the presses, it's Lighting Nerds, Episode 005 folks. In this edition: The Robe Square. It's certainly, uh, square. The Lumu Power light meter.
Dressing for success on corporate gigs. Protip: a ratty tshirt and cargo shorts won't do. Tsk tsk. Craig and Gavin get super-nerdy about CRI. We mention the Munsell color system, here's the WP page on it.
Lighting term of the day: proscenium. | |||
| Episode 004 - A positive upward spiral of creativity! | 24 Dec 2015 | 00:58:51 | |

We discuss visualizers. Here are some that we mention:

An interview with John Featherstone.
Lighting term of the week: ghost lights. Woooo!
And finally... Merry Christmas And a very special tip of the hat to those who believe in nothing but still want holiday pay. May one day people all over the world not just tolerate but celebrate different faiths and cultures, and have their greetings accepted in the spirit they were given, without fear of being mocked and laughed at by those who lack understanding. Peace. | |||

Short aside folks: in this episode I say, in reference to the ETC PARNel that it “is a Fresnel optic in a PAR housing.” This is a mistake, what I meant to say is that the optics of a PARNel are roughly equivalent to the result that a Fresnel lens gives you. Clearly the PARNel is not a Fresnel optic. That is all. | |||
| Episode 040 - Whatever the Average Weight of a Goat Was | 03 Sep 2021 | 01:15:35 | |
Yeah, we still podcast. Sometimes. In this day and age of little work, sometimes we seem to have even less time to get together to pod. Certainly, it affects our motivation. But we have mustered some up for you, dear listeners, so let's dive into this year's week's episode.
| |||
| Episode 039: There Are Actually Wizards Who Create These Files In the Nether Realm | 08 Feb 2021 | 01:26:20 | |

Hugs and kisses y'all. Register to vote. -C | |||
| Episode 037 - That Covers Opening Banter | 17 Jun 2020 | 01:21:52 | |
Geeze, United States. We leave the room for ONE SECOND and everything goes up in flames, at times literally. To those who have asked: Craig is fine. (He lives in the Twin Cities, but all is well) In this episode:
The credits thought today is brought to you by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article I. | |||
| Episode 036 - Defer to Llama on All the Tough Topics | 20 May 2020 | 01:05:37 | |
In the midst of the global pandemic, we offer you this commentary on the state of the lighting industry. I have very few pithy comments this week, because this pandemic is just so emotionally draining. The strain of prolonged isolation is truly monumental. Hang in there, everyone. I'm feeling it, just you like are. In this episode:

| Episode 046: CRI doesn’t matter for anything | 27 Jan 2025 | 01:20:11 | |
Did you hear about the three holes in the ground? Well, well, well... JOIN THE FRIGGIN DISCORD, NERD In this episode:
To all our brothers, sisters, and everyone else about to be impacted by the coming #&%storm, we stand beside you. “A riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?...It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity."- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., “The Other America,” 1968 | |||
