Got a story or a system other operators need to hear?

I love having hosts, co-hosts and the people who support them on the show. Here's how it works:

  • It's free to be a guest.
  • Episodes run 30 to 45 minutes, recorded remotely. All you need is a computer or phone.
  • We record video, but the show is audio only, so come as you are.
  • Bring a few topics or questions and we'll build the rest together.
  • Your episode goes live about 1 to 3 weeks after we record.
