The Last I.T. Podcast In The World!
Fine. I'll do a podcast on corporate IT, tech in general, business, the AI Meltdown, and any other topic I find interesting (movies, tacos). This isn't some dry tech podcast for nerds only (nerds welcome), this is a banter-forward, why-so-serious pod that won't hesitate to take detours and try to entertain. But we'll also make serious points about how IT at growing businesses can be great, efficient, secure, strategic, automated, and even friendly (WHAT?!). Bring your sense of humor - life is too short for long-faced and boring IT podcasts.
