1988 was a good year for movies and music, and episode 88 of our live weekly broadcast wasn’t too shabby either. Joined by our guests from The Center for Michigan, as well as our friends from Penguicon and the Agile and Beyond conference, a great time, some fun chats and a whole lot of information about things going on around the area including this weekend and the end of the month and all sorts of good stuff for your career and professional life. We may or may not survive the weekend, so let’...

Another weekly live broadcast has come and gone, and another great time was had by all. For our 87th episode, we were joined by one of our core sponsors, Quantum Storage, as well as our friends from Motor City Geek. And of course the intro and breaks were all 1987 themed as the 80s episodes continue. We talked a little tech, we talked a little geek, we talked a little cosplay, and we laughed a lot while having all of those conversations and more… As the mics went live at 9pm, our 1987 themed i...

Episode 86 is in the archives, and it was a really fun show.

Duran Duran. The NeverEnding Story. Transformers. 1984 was a good year, and so it’s of little surprise that episode 84 of our weekly live broadcast was a blast. With our guests from Falling Down Beer Company, RhinoCoders and Startup Weekend Pontiac in-studio with us, we had a wide variety of topics to handle…to the point where it even took us into a fifth segment to get through it all… We kicked off this episode with another retrospective intro, and then dove into our usual round of guest int...

Our flashback to 1983 with episode 83 of our live, weekly broadcast has come and gone, and it was definitely a lot of fun. We were joined in-studio by a couple of recurring guests on our show, Steve Gaura from Arrow Strategies and Billy Strawter of Social Coop Media Detroit. We talked about our Pink Slip Party this Thursday night, what Arrow’s seeing in the jobs market, why companies build all of these splintered apps and more… Once our 1983 themed intro wrapped up, we dove into the news, even...

Episode 82 of our weekly live broadcast is in the history books, and we had a lot of fun with our guests.

A fun episode, even if we were riddled with technical issues, which sort of explains why this episode is a little bit late getting out. Sorry about that. We were joined in-studio by one of our sponsors, W3R, as well as our friends over at Daily Detroit, for a whole bunch of conversations and chats about the state of things here in Detroit, the latest news and info floating around worth noting, the BIGGEST NEWS EVER IN DETROIT…and much more… In our first segment, we talked about the little prob...

Another week, another really fun episode with some great guests. Thanks to our guests Major General Amy Courter of Youngsoft, Hans Erickson of New Mind, and Katrina and Mark from our newest sponsor, W3R, for joining us in-studio tonight.

T...

What a fun, fun night. Thanks to our guests Scott and Nuri from Penguicon, Kelly O’Hara of Bebop Art and Kasey from Kosmic Kasey for joining us for just a great night of conversations, laughs, and we even managed to be a little informative…not to mention running a giveaway that you can still be a part of. We talked conventions, comics, art, women at cons, and all sorts of really great topics… As always though, our first segment kicked things off with the stories that have caught our eye over ...

Episode 77. We had a few Detroit-themed guests on the show tonight, as you can tell. Thanks to our guests Courtney and Ian from Detroit Beer Press, Monica Wheat of Pipeline Fellowship Detroit, and repeat offender Daily Detroit for joining us for a night of laughs and fun conversations… Of course we talked a little Super Bowl…well, we talked about the commercials. Especially the Nationwide one. Wow. Nothing like dead kids to really kick the party up a notch… We chatted about the naked guy in ...

Episode 76, and yet another episode that’s full of a lot of laughter and great conversations. Thanks to our in-studio guests Anthony Tocco, Kyle Nelson, Andrew Mortemore, and Wade Kean, all from one of our sponsors – Quantum – for joining us… From the Skymall bankruptcy to the measles outbreak at Disney, our first segment was all about the stories that caught our eye this past week. How the FBI’s trying to say that using a TOR or even a VPN connection constitutes probable cause. A drone showin...

Our 75th episode, and this one’s full of rants, raves, laughter and great conversations. Lots of rants. Lots…and lots…of rants… Thanks to our guests local entrepreneur Bradley Hoos, as well as Jimi Plouffe and Nick Daniels from Momentum for hanging out, hopping in on the rants, hanging for the laughs, and providing a lot of great information in between the outbursts, and we even had a voice from the past call in… Our first segment was pretty much wholly occupied by our discussion of what happ...

Episode 74, and wow was this a packed one. Lots of great topics, tons of good conversation, a whole slew of new drops to be isolated for our opening… …but I digress.

IT in the D, Episode 73 Holy wow, what a great way to kick off the year. Huge thanks to our guests Tom Nardone and Ian Sterrett who joined us tonight to talk about everything from the continually evolving Sony hack to bulletproof hats to geeks and conventions around the area. Yes, it was that random…and it was that much fun… In our opening segment, we talked about the college football fan who drunkenly took a $900 Uber ride, the continuing Sony hack debacle, whether or not apps are dying, th...

IT in the D, Episode 72 We closed out 2014 with a great episode. A lot of rambling…as you’d probably expect given that it’s the last show of the year…but still a great episode. Thanks to Eric and Jeremiah for joining us as we wandered and rambled through a number of topics, and thankfully kept ourselves from getting too terribly weird as we closed things out for the year… We talked about The Interview, and the continually breaking updates about the Sony hack. We chatted about how in the hell ...

IT in the D, Episode 70 Well, this was certainly an interesting night, both on the mic and off of it. Let’s stick to the on the mic fun though – we had some great guests join us in-studio tonight, and we even made a new friend from down the hall from the studio thanks to doing a little wandering and being friendly with the locals. We got into some controversial topics, we got updates on a growing local business, and we talked with an artist about her work and figured out more ways to blow mone...

IT in the D, Episode 69 It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, it was the epoch of our serious charity fundraising, it was the epoch of foolish mocking, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us… Yeah, it was one of those nights… We kicked off with the stories about the Grumpy Cat owner pulling do...

IT in the D, Episode 68 You know what the best part of doing this show is? I mean, sure, there’s the beer, the music, and the general laughter and fun that happens every week, but what’s really cool about it all is being able to help get the word out about really cool stuff going on in the area, and that’s exactly what tonight’s show was all about… Guests: Hemingwrite: Adam Leek Woodward Throwbacks: Kyle Dubay and Bozenka Shepherd As per usual, our first segment was a round up of topics th...

IT in the D, Episode 67. As the dust begins to settle from last week’s fun and excitement, we had another great live broadcast. Three outstanding guests to help close out the Home and Home series with the Internet Advisor show, some good tunes, a lot of laughs, and just a fun time overall. Oh, and we even managed to sneak in some discussions about security, auditing, and the balance of those in the business world while Bob wasn’t paying attention… Our first segment was all of the things you’...

IT in the D, Episode 66. This episode was pretty much exactly what it needed to be. We were joined by two great guests talking about things they’re doing around the area, ranging from an upcoming comic convention to zombie themed energy drinks and sodas to a new group getting off the ground helping people learn how to code and how to transition into a career in information technology…if that’s what they really want to do. And, of course, there was the elephant in the room… Guests: Dennis L ...

IT in the D, Episode 65. We managed to clean things up to the point where it’s a pretty solid episode with a lot of great information in it, so give it a listen as we’re joined by Billy Strawter of Social Coop Media and Kevin Krason of Biznet. And look, let’s be right up front about what the live listeners already know – we had some serious technical difficulties throughout the broadcast and recording process this time around. So, there are some jumps in conversation, some snippets that got mi...
