  • XAML.io with Giovanni Albani
    Oct 22 2026
    OpenSilver evolves! Carl and Richard talk to Giovanni Albani about how OpenSilver continues to help folks migrate Silverlight apps into a sustainable model not dependent on the plug-in - but now the focus is on WPF! Giovanni talks about XAML.io and its ability to turn WPF applications into WebAssembly apps that run in the browser with no plug-ins and no HTML or JavaScript coding required. The conversation also explores the role of AI in software development and the tooling XAML.io is developing to help senior developers add guardrails and tooling around domain experts using these tools to build secure, reliable software.

  • AI in Live Broadcast with Tim Huckaby
    Oct 15 2026
    Can AI tech work in live television broadcasts? Carl and Richard talk to Tim Huckaby about his work building Duff Foreman, an AI-powered avatar for live golf programs. Tim talks about using AI to build AI, using M365 Copilot to architect and ultimately implement the AI avatar, pulling from golf statistics to provide a digital commentator for the sport. The conversation explores the stack of tools needed to build Duff, some of which Tim selected and some that were already in play for the project. And then there was that first live broadcast - Duff "sitting" with two human presenters during a minor PGA event. Lots of great stories and questions about the future of this tech!
