IT in the D

Well, here it is – our cryptocurrency deep dive episode.  We were joined by three people who have done quite well for themselves in this hazy world that not too many of us fully understand, but there’s a lot of great information in here to walk you through the basics of understanding what it is and getting started all the way out through what’s next.  The guests on tonight show a...

Captain Soundboard was left alone, and so recruited trusty associates Randy “I do the twitters” and Jeremiah “Dr Hook…I mean, Daily Detroit guy” to be in-studio for this week’s conversations covering news, events, items that caught our eyes, as well as local news like the auto show… IT in the D On the web:  http://www.

No, we couldn’t wait.  We got the band back together to dive in on Star Wars, Episode 8: The Last Jedi after last week’s preview discussion.  Our opening segment is “safe” – just the usual news, events, and bantering that you’ve come to expect, and then in segment two the spoilers start to fly… IT in the D On the web:  http://www.

IT in the D was founded upon the principle of making things suck less for the Metro Detroit IT industry. Whether it be meetups, recruiting, job seeking, job fairs, podcasts, we have always strived to change the way things were being done. Roughly four years ago, we heard complaints about the training industry being broken. While people wanted to increase their skill set, they couldn’t spend 8 week...

No really, there’s a podcasting conference that asked us to speak, and we’ll be there next weekend, so we brought the man organizing it up to the studios to make sure he knew what he was in for…and surprisingly, we’re still going.  We also talked about DSDT, where we’ve opened our new downtown studio, as well as a new podcast coming to the network in October… Th...
