Podcasts:
A Good Way to Make Connections
Remember in-person professional meetings? When you could sit and listen to a variety of speakers--from giants in the field to insightful newcomers? Even with the pandemic lightening, it may be a while until we attend many of those kinds of events again.

During the past year, ever inventive disaster mitigation experts increased production of podcasts to reach more people, get information across in a more natural, casual way, and stimulate conversation and thinking.
