Happy Birthday, IT Conversations

Today is the third anniversary of the first program published on IT Conversations, renewing our status as the oldest still-publishing podcast. One year ago today I wrote:

IT Conversations now has 553 programs either published or at some stage of post-production and we’re releasing 9-11 each week thanks to the amazing 42 members of Team ITC.

That first program was my interview with Phil Windley, who is now the Executive Producer of IT Conversations. Who would have thought?

Today the total number of shows published or in producton is 1,081, and next week we’ll launch our second channel, with more to follow shortly.
