This week’s episode of our audio-centric The Occasional Podcast features none other than Sean Casey of Zu Audio, and a separate breakdown of the upcoming Florida Audio Expo with show runner Bart Andeer. The Florida event takes place in February, and if recent signs in the hifi circuit are any indication, big things will be taking place. Attendance for audio shows has skyrocketed over last year with many hungry for more in-person experiences to subject their ears to.
Designer Sean Casey of Zu Audio also joins the episode for his first follow up interview since S1E1! Sean provides a little follow up for how the Zu brand has weather the pandemic, along with several more philosophical takes on design, sound and something he is not necessarily known for, cost-no-object speakers.

Granted, the expression, “people person” remains a tautology, but to refer to oneself (or another) as something other than a people person suggests they might be something other than human.
Interesting. . .
Sean swears a lot.
Hence, I lost interest.
When I see adults still getting offended at naughty words like it’s 1953, I lose interest in what they’re saying. In 2022, verbs that describe normal human behavior and bodily functions are not profanity. Slurs against minorities, women and the LGBTQ+ community are. Let’s move on.
