Here Comes Everyone by The Conference Bard
Originally called "Uncanceled & Unplugged" this podcast was conceived at the outset of the Covid crisis in North America. Being a conference designer I knew a lot of people who had expected to be speaking at events in the subsequent months having them canceled or postponed. So I launched the podcast to provide them with an alternative platform.In August, several months into the pandemic, it was clear that most event organizers had shifted to virtual events and no one was getting canceled anymore.So the podcast has now become "Here Comes Everyone". The name reflects the huge variety of guests we've had in the last few months and the intention to focus a bit more on issues of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging.

More POETRY NOT POWERPOINT with Shane Schick, Founder of CX Magazine 360
For the latest episode in our occasional series featuring poets my awesome co-host Kate Jenkinson and I are joined by Shane Schick.
I've known Shane for many years both through his excellent writing on Customer Experience, IT and Men's Fashion as well as his work designing and emceeing business conferences. Given what an accomplished writer he is it should have come as no surprise that he is also a wonderful poet.
Shane is less of a performer than either Kate or I, but we found much common ground in this conversation,. While Kate and I get on the stage, Shane sees his work as a "diary you want people to read". What his "private" poetry and public journalism have in common is a focus on detail, the ability to create new, valuable insights, and a lightness of touch that makes him easy to read even when he challenges how we see the world.
I hope you enjoy this conversation. You can check out Shane's business writing at https://360magazine.com/
