Sound Bars, Streaming Services, and Trends at CES 2019 | #191 - a podcast by Entertainment Right Now

Nestled away on our broadcast platform at CES 2019, we took some time to reflect on past trends and look towards the future. Starting the show, audio journalist for The Wirecutter, SoundStage! Solo, and JazzTimes, Brent Butterworth, shares his excitement about modern sound bars and urges us all to get one for our home theaters. Then, we discuss format wars, their effect on consumers, and what is going on in the world of digital media. Next, we explore Brent's new-found appreciation for The Beatles, a band he's traditionally had a fair amount of disdain for. Closing the show, President and CEO of the International Food and Beverage Technology Association (IFBTA), Rob Grimes, tells us why identifying the trends over the fads is important for him in his bid to stay ahead of the curve in the food and beverage vertical. Tune in for the latest from CES 2019.
