Today we welcome Gary Gattis, a former video game CEO and technology executive who now helps parents, schools, and students understand the hidden mechanics behind games, feeds, social media, AI, and digital attention. His current work, The Invisible Playground, explores how hidden screen systems shape childhood, attention, belonging, identity, and agency." His career includes several distinct phases: Gaming: He helped develop major online games early in his career and later co-founded SpaceTime Studios, known for mobile MMORPGs. The gaming industry provided experience in large-scale simulations, networking, and AI-driven virtual environments. Artificial Intelligence: As CEO of Hypergiant Galactic Systems, he shifted toward applying AI to real-world problems rather than entertainment. Satellites and Space: His work has centered on using AI to improve satellite operations, automate space systems, enhance space situational awareness, and modernize satellite infrastructure. Defense and Military Simulation: His interests align with a growing defense trend of combining AI with wargaming, digital twins, and operational simulations to Thank you for your support! The B.I.Stander Podcast is a listener supported podcast so please consider subscribing and patronizing the follow businesses.   BE A FRIEND OF PODCASTVILLE AND TELL A FRIEND  Thank you to our very supportive sponsors!

https://www.savethetrailerpark.com/ One of the last vestiges of original affordable housing on Bainbridge Island, this little neighborhood known as the Islander Mobile Home Park, is a resident-owned cooperative of 50 mobile homes. The "Trailer Park" is a group of longtime locals, fixed-income seniors, and working families who have built a colorful, quirky community that feels more like a small village. Many of us have lived here for years. However, a home isn't a home without reliable water, and that's why we need your help. What's Wrong With The Park? After years of expensive repairs to our water, sewage, and stormwater infrastructure, engineers have recently confirmed that the system is failing and replacement is now our only option. If these systems fail, it becomes a health and safety issue for the entire park. https://givebutter.com/save-the-trailer-park Thank you for your support!

Today we welcome the founder of Ardell Food Company: Ross Eide The Ardell Food Company's salsa is a cherished family recipe passed down for generations. When the family moved to Bainbridge Island, they started making it for friends and their children. It became so popular that parents began asking if they could buy it. And so, the local salsa was born. The simplicity of the recipe inspires their core values - the use of fewer ingredients of higher quality. This principle guides the creation of all their products. They hope you enjoy their salsa and become a repeat customer. Thank you for your support!

Circle Mirror Transformation By Annie Baker Directed by Ken Michels February 27 - March 14 at 7:00 PM  /  March 15 at 3:00 PM Rolling Bay Hall Today we welcome cast members: MARTY | Amy Jo LaRubbio LAUREN | Zoe LaRubbio Synopsis In the quiet town of Shirley, Vermont, a quintet of strangers—a vulnerable carpenter, a reserved teenager, a wandering actress, and a bohemian couple—gather in a community center for a six-week "creative drama" class. Through a series of quirky theater games led by their well-meaning instructor, the group's defenses slowly unravel, exposing their hidden hopes, fears, and desires. As laughter and vulnerability collide, secrets simmer beneath the surface, and every moment holds the possibility of transformation. Annie Baker's acclaimed play invites audiences to witness the humor, heartbreak, and longing that connect us all—and to discover what happens when ordinary lives intersect in extraordinary ways.   CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection.
