About the Podcast
Welcome to the IT in the D show, brought to you by long-time Detroit IT veterans Bob Waltenspiel and Randy Walker.
IT in the D has been putting on free networking events for the metro Detroit information technology community for over 10 years, helping more than 2,500 people find new jobs via their Pink Slip Party Concept, and has 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 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.
The show has been listened to over twenty million times to date and has been heard in all 50 states and 41 countries. We appreciate the time spent with us and welcome all feedback.
