Where I work, and why that's awesome.

It's time for a little context on who I am. The About page gives you a little, but you haven't really seen where I get to volunteer and what I get to do.

That, and it's hard to take photos of a video game. So let's get into it!

The heart and soul of Troy's journalism department. Well, more like the skin and skeleton.

Troy University has one of the best journalism degrees in the nation, and it all happens right here: Wallace Hall. The campus newspaper, the Tropolitan, is printed here, but I'm involved with the other half of the program. The 21st-century half. I help produce TrojanVision.

Look at all those awards. Look.

We're a campus news program that puts out three shows a day from deep within the bowels of Wallace, and we're pretty darn good at it. I'm not one of the anchors (yet). I am one of Jeff's "minions," the bearded, tv-show-logo-shirt-wearing legion of AV technicians who man The Booth.

This is where the magic happens.

This is where other, related magic, still qualifying as "the" magic, happens.

We run graphics, sound, teleprompter, cameras, video, you name it. The anchors have by far the most glamorous position, but they don't do half the work. Not even close.

But just look at that desk. You want to sit there. You know you do.

Plus you get to stare at these cheery guys for thirty minutes at a time.

The student volunteers at TrojanVision (and we are mostly all volunteers) get together every day to put on a half hour of informative local, national, and worldwide news. At any point someone could decide to press the wrong button and screw a given show up beyond repair... but that generally doesn't happen. Usually.

So next time you hop by Troy campus, look under the library. There's a whole TV station hiding down there you never knew existed!

Not like we can blame you for missing it.

You can catch a livestream of the show every weeknight at 5:00 Central time at troytrojanvision.org. Look for "Casey Garvin" in the credits. And possibly behind the desk. Maybe. I might need to shave first.
