| 6/23/26 |  Sound Off #126 - Vibe is Key, AWE Highlights, Lane7 up, D&B down & more! | Sponsored by Intercard! On this week's show we argue that the “vibe” of a venue is as important as the attraction mix, and we challenge operators to stop treating location-based entertainment like cookie-cutter venues. We also track the business shocks coming for LBE, from under-16 social media bans to trade show postponements, platform resets, and XR’s accelerating move into out-of-home experiences. • Why vibe, design, and social energy become the real differentiator • How under-... | 1h 21m 37s | ||||||

| 6/16/26 |  Sound Off #125 - Prioritizing the Guest Journey, Playcations, Crane Oasis & more! | Sponsored by Intercard! On this week's show we push back on hospitality-first thinking and argue that the entertainment layer, narrative, and agency are what make location-based venues feel distinct and repeatable. We also track the latest theme park, competitive socializing, XR, VR, and AI moves that are reshaping how operators build and upgrade attractions. • prioritizing the guest journey over food and drink trend-chasing • making entertainment accessible across ages and skill ... | 1h 14m 16s | ||||||
| 6/16/26 |  The Stinger Report #1267 - Defining Immersive Punch! | The evolving XR landscape in Out-of-Home entertainment faces challenges amid industry churn, with notable closures like RED Tokyo Tower highlighting monetization hurdles.
