Love the show,

In your latest issue you had a user ask about playing the same audio to two different Chromecasts from one pc. This can easily be done using a piece of software called Airparrot 2. Also you can stream the same video feed to multiple Chromecasts with this software or something different to each one. I am currently testing this as a cheap solution for digital signage and have displayed to 5 tv's simultaneously.

Hope this helps.
