Yeah it's excellent and I recommend that all of my fellow educational theater folks give it a listen. If I remember correctly it came out a couple of years ago in the middle of the lockdown when everyone was creating lots of podcasts and online learning. It may have not gotten a lot of discussion around here with so much other content being created at that time. I should probably give it another listen.

I'm currently in discussions with my superiors at the school district about how we are going to handle the ANSI Crowd Management Standard so this stuff is currently very much at the front of my thought process.
