When the official Office Hours show ends, the conversation doesn't. These are the regulars who keep After Hours running 24/7 — across time zones, continents, and every topic imaginable.
After Hours is the unofficial, always-on extension of Office Hours Global. When the daily show wraps up at 8 AM Pacific, the conversation continues in the community chat — and it never stops. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, someone somewhere in the world is talking about production, tech, life, and everything in between.
The show is one hour a day. After Hours is the other 23.
These are the people who make After Hours what it is. They show up every day, share what they know, ask what they don't, and keep the conversation going around the clock.
Director of Athletic Communications at Pacific Northwest, USA. The one-man-band of live sports production. Chris has pioneered how small colleges can produce broadcast-quality sports streams using automation, AI, data-driven graphics, and locked-off cameras. He built a custom vMix web interface that lets volunteers direct broadcasts remotely from anywhere. A regular on Office Hours second-hour deep dives, especially on Bitfocus Companion. Proof that you don't need a big crew to make big productions.
A veteran of 40+ years in ICT, based in Oceania but with California roots through his wife from Santa Barbara. Deep expertise in Blackmagic ATEM switchers, video production automation, and scripting. Runs the Video Integrated Scripting Environment (VISE) blog where he documents technical solutions that the rest of the community relies on. Former veteran of a major tech company. The kind of engineer who solves problems nobody else even knows exist.
One of the consistent voices in the 24/7 After Hours conversation. Always there, always contributing, always asking the right questions. The kind of community member who makes the space better just by showing up every day.
A doctor turned IT executive turned digital event pioneer. CEO of a digital learning company in Cape Town, focused on digital empowerment and bridging the gap for non-tech-savvy populations. Previously founded a multimedia and design firm (multimedia and graphic design). Brings an international perspective from South Africa and has produced highly successful Digital First events. The fact that a doctor from Cape Town is part of a daily production community based in San Francisco tells you everything about what After Hours is.
The man behind the info screens — the visual displays and data overlays that keep the community informed during shows. Simon builds and maintains the information infrastructure that makes After Hours feel professional. A steady daily presence with practical production experience and a willingness to experiment with new tools and workflows.
The IT guy with unexpected passions. When something breaks, when a connection drops, when the tech stack needs troubleshooting — David's the one who figures it out. Based in Michigan, he brings deep IT infrastructure knowledge to a community of creatives. Outside of After Hours, David runs channels and websites about powerlifting and fishing — proof that the most interesting people in this community are never just one thing.
One of the most consistent voices in the 24/7 After Hours community. Keith is always there — morning, afternoon, evening. A reliable presence who keeps conversations going, welcomes newcomers, and brings a steady energy to the community every single day.
The vertical streaming evangelist. Guy's data on Shorts reach changed how the entire community thinks about 9x16 content: "We got 10x the reach from Shorts after the livestream. Not with 3-second average view duration — 8 minutes." His Saturday show uses Ecamm's dual streaming to simultaneous horizontal and vertical, and the results speak for themselves. If vertical streaming has a champion, it's Guy.
A reliable daily presence in the After Hours community. Engages deeply with the technical discussions and brings practical perspective from real-world production challenges. The kind of member who connects the dots between what's discussed on the show and what actually works in the field.
Builder of the WholeTech Network — 119 websites, one person, 30 years of web development. Active in After Hours daily. Built this website (afterhours.party) as a companion to the Office Hours community. Studied tai chi under Master Choy Kam Man in San Francisco. Former competitive quarter-miler. The oldest member of the community who's also the most prolific web builder.
The question machine. Alexander always asks the technical questions that everyone else is thinking but nobody is brave enough to ask. Deep knowledge of Ecamm, Mac production workflows, and streaming graphics. His April 3 question about 9x16 graphics strategy kicked off one of the best Ecamm discussions in recent memory. Also strongly opinionated about Apple's software quality — "Say no to Tahoe."
The man behind the curtain. David keeps the shows running — technically and logistically. When something breaks, David fixes it. When a guest needs to be connected, David makes it happen. The unsung hero of every broadcast.
Recently hosted her first Rundown show and was praised for bringing "the human side" to the production. Mike B. said she came across as "pretty slick flying the rest of the show." Tamra represents the next generation of Office Hours leadership — the community growing new hosts from within.
Founder of a popular Mac-based live streaming tool. Oliver brings the perspective of someone building the tools that the community uses. His questions about YouTube's dual streaming mode and Mac hardware availability reflect the real challenges developers face keeping up with the streaming landscape.
Welcomes everyone, connects people, and keeps the social fabric of the community strong. When someone new shows up, CJ makes them feel at home. The hospitality department of Office Hours.
Always in the chat with practical insights. Diagnosed a recent hardware problem by isolating it to a network switch — the kind of real-world troubleshooting that happens in After Hours every day. Quoted Jurassic Park in the Ecamm discussion: "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Brings the AI perspective. "Once you get to a context window over 500K, it can be so much wiser about a large codebase." Also: "AI isn't one thing — think of it as a team with each agent having specific roles." The voice of practical AI application in the production community.
Used Ecamm to stream a show for artists during Giving Tuesday. "The iPhone, the internet, and YouTube are crushing every other distribution medium." Brings the perspective of someone using production tools for social good.
"9x16 is owed its own production, not just a byproduct of having a 16x9 video." Uses Claude for enterprise: "We have it ingesting our monolith." Combines enterprise-level technical thinking with practical production advice.
Tracking Mac Mini availability, monitoring Raspberry Pi temperatures for ISS video streaming, praising guests' audio levels. Mike pays attention to the details that separate good production from great production.
Every morning, Robert posts the Daily Observations — a curated list of what day it is, what's being celebrated, and what's happening around the world. National Chocolate Mousse Day. World Aquatic Animal Day. Good Friday. The ritual that starts every After Hours day.
House of Worship (HOW) audio and video specialist from Upper Midwest, USA. Tommy brings deep expertise in church production — the cameras, the mixing boards, the live streams that keep congregations connected. A regular presence in After Hours who knows the unique challenges of HOW production inside and out.
Scout leader, former enterprise tech veteran, and Austin local. Peter brings the methodical, systems-thinking perspective of a career technologist to After Hours. Fellow Austinite with Paul Walhus — they share the tech industry connection and the Central Texas lifestyle.
After Hours never sleeps because its members span every time zone. When it's evening in Austin, it's morning in Cape Town. When Seattle's asleep, Western Europe is waking up. The conversation flows around the planet like the sun — always daytime somewhere, always someone talking.
Everything. Camera gear. Audio setups. AI. Coding. Politics. Philosophy. Music. Sports. Bad puns. Good coffee. The meaning of life. Production troubleshooting at 2 AM. It's a group chat for people who make things.
Be helpful. Be curious. Don't sell. Don't spam. Share what you know. Ask what you don't. If someone's stuck at midnight, help them. If someone ships something great, celebrate it. It's simple.
