IT in the D show

IT in the D

Summary: So what do a couple of IT guys from Detroit talk about when they go to the bar? Welcome to the IT in the D show, brought to you by long-time Detroit IT veterans Bob Waltenspiel (The Sales Guy), and Dave Phillips (The Geek). The duo has been putting on free networking events for the metro Detroit information technology community for over 10 years, helped more than 1,200 people find new jobs, and been featured in local and national news stories and publications for their efforts. After taking on speaking engagements starting in 2011 that helped refine their message, in 2013 they took their ramblings to a broadcast format that has proven to be far more popular than anyone expected. The IT in the D show is more conversational and less instructional – it is far more geared toward entertainment and local goings-on in the metro Detroit area than a deep-dive about specific technical issues. It’s a bar chat, not technical seminar. You’ll hear more movie quotes than MySQL queries and more Depeche Mode than development methodologies. Not that the guys don’t roll up their sleeves and deep dive from time to time, but with guests ranging from local CIOs and CEOs to roller derby girls and pop culture icons from the 80s, don’t let the “IT” in “IT in the D” scare you. Each weekly two-hour show typically includes current events and stories, guests ranging from local entrepreneurs to local IT rock stars to people with great local stories to tell, rants, raves and everything you’d expect from a couple of guys who have known each other and been drinking together for nearly two decades.

 Episode 274 Saying Goodbye with Foster Braun | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:21:03

It was the best of times... it was the worst of... Yeah, there's really no cliche that fits here, other than the Boys II Men song "It's so hard to say goodbye".  Our apologies (and fair warning ahead of time) that we all got pretty emotional during this one.  It wasn't easy to record it, and isn't all that easy to listen to, either. A man who has been like a broadcasting grandfather to us over the years, Foster Braun, reached out and asked to come on our show one last time before his battle with cancer comes to an end.  We obviously couldn't say no to such a request... so we cleared the decks of any and all other guests for the night, strapped on our helmets because we knew it was going to be a rough ride, and off we went.  We talked history, broadcasting and otherwise, radio vs podcasting, and what Foster wants people to remember about him more than anything else. It was our honor and privilege to have him in the studio all of the times he spent with us, but particularly this last time... There is a GoFundMe campaign running to help Foster and his family through this difficult time.  We would consider it a personal favor if you can contribute: https://www.gofundme.com/community-love-for-ginny-amp-foster-braun IT in the D On the web: http://www.ITinTheD.com On Meetup: http://www.meetup.com/ITintheD/ On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/IT-in-D-91763 On Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ITintheD On Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ITintheD Podcast Detroit is at: On the web: http://www.podcastdetroit.com/ On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PodcastDetroit On Twitter: https://twitter.com/PodcastDetroit On Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/podcastdetroit
