2020 Episodes

Welcome to our first episode of 2020, and we kick things off talking a little more Star Wars (because why wouldn't we), as well as diving in with James Allison... who's not only a geek and can talk sci-fi with the best of us, but has the distinction of being a Guinness World Record holder for the longest running online gaming guild, so we naturally have a lot of questions and it's a pretty interesting chat about the entire process and what he had to go through...

IMPORTANT NOTE: due to Dave not paying attention, the networking event this month is on the 23rd at Detroit City Distillery.  We know, it's always 3rd Thursday... he screwed up, it's a thing, move on.  That being said, tonight we're joined by Caston Thomas to chat about our recent appearance on the Internet Advisor show, as well as an upcoming seminar series he's doing about securing iOT devices and networks that you probably want to pay attention to...

IT in the D ep332 - Astronomicon, Fundraiser for Wildlife in Australia

We always love our chats with Adrian, not just because he's got phenomenal insights into internet and banking security, but he's also one of those people who always has about eighteen irons in fires at any given point in time from a creative perspective, and that lends him some rather unique insights into what he knows, what he doesn't know, and what he stumbles across in his endeavors that apply to multiple areas of his life.  So listen in...

IT in the D ep333 - Banking Security, Face the Consequences

Hey, this is episode 337 of the one and only it in the D show. Guests this week include Dave and Steve there with the exceptional Academy and like museums. No, no, no. Like no actually better, actually better. They are doing training programs for disabled people but they're not just training programs. We're talking CCNs and upper echelon it training programs, getting people with autism, getting people with severe disabilities, seizure disabilities, getting them gainfully trained up, employed. So I cannot wait for that conversation. Should go great. And in the meantime, you know what Dave, you may uh, I got, we're, we're, we've can barely see each other cause there's room stocked full of toilet paper and water. Um, but we'll talk about that in a minute. You may hand sanitize, you may fire when ready. Hey, what's going on? This is the one and only it in the D show.

IT in the D ep337 - Exceptional Academy

The IT in the D Show

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.

The show has been listened to over five 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.
