On Saturday night I donned my headphones, set up my microphone and co-hosted the iconic Hobson & Holtz report, which is out now for your listening pleasure.
I’m an avid listener of the weekly podcast to learn about the latest happenings in the world of communication and technology.
It has been produced for 10 years by Neville Hobson @jangles, and Shel Holtz @shelholtz, and on Saturday night I stepped into Neville’s co-hosting chair while he takes a well-earned month off.
I host my own show on the For Immediate Release (FIR) network, called All Things IC, but was delighted to be part of the main show.
I’m taking a break from my podcast while on maternity leave with my five-month-old twins, but it was good to get back on the airwaves for this one-off appearance.
You can hear the show here:
Shel called me from California via Skype at 9pm my time, and we recorded show #811 focused on “The state of internal communication.”
