Request for Podcast

Despite my absence from posting on here, there’s been a lot on my mind lately. Certainly, the results from the recent US elections and the impact that we may be experiencing in 2025 and beyond has been on my mind. There have been people far more equipped and eloquent weighing in on this.

But something else has been on my mind - in fact, for the past decade. This year – 2024 – marks the 10th anniversary of a mini podcast series I did called The Downtown Phoenix Podcast. In only eight episodes total, I addressed a number of key issues facing a changing downtown Phoenix in 2014, interviewing diverse voices and bringing new perspectives to the table that usually didn’t get a seat. With apologies to past, current, and future employers, it will be the work I am the proudest to have done.

Despite that series ending, the podcast bug has never left me. Every iteration of a home office I’ve had since then has had provisions for doing another podcast/broadcast project. As I’ve tossed around many thoughts about what something could be, I’ve thought about something regarding nonprofit IT. As much as I say IT is IT, our corner of the IT world is an interesting one and I’m willing to gamble there are some good stories worth sharing.

Consider this post to be me throwing this idea out into the world. Anyone interested in taking part? Or anyone interested in helping find these stories worth sharing?
