Podcast Updates We had a successful launch of our new podcast, “Two Cans & a String” on August 1st. This weekly podcast, held in the lead up to the Conference, is a result from the efforts of IMDPA Board Member, Samuel Courtney of VN Graphics. Sam hosted and set up the equipment, generated the podcast site, edited all of the interviews, created the platform used,
and provided the promotional content that Michael Masenior used to post on social media. The IMDPA thanks our guests, Tim Duca, Alex Fordham, Domingo Gonzales, the leaders of WICA, (Martha Rojas, Sarah Davidson, and Janis Osborn), Allan Sayers, and Kyle Hurla. Sam will conclude the series with his thoughts and Podcast Recap. Thank you, Sam, for all of your volunteer efforts to bring this to fruition.
