It’s been quite the day at NAB Show, with Scrubs and Alex Inc star Zach Braff dropping by, the Engineering Achievement Awards, and a couple of treats from the Show floor.

Zach Braff

Zach Braff and Matt Tarses, the producer and writer behind Scrubs and Alex Inc, appeared in the From Podcast to Broadcast panel at the NAB Show. The pair took the time to sit down with Josh Miely from the NAB Podcast to talk Alex Inc, broadcasting and his love of gadgets.
