It's off-season for the NFL, but this is when broadcasting's remote engineers prep for the Fall season. Robert Carroll is the Game day Engineer & Producer for the New Orleans Saints Radio Network. No matter whom you cheer for, behind-the-scenes engineering is physically demanding and requires quick, clear, and creative thinking as well. Robert Carroll joins Chris Tarr and Kirk Harnack on TWiRT.
