Words I never thought we would say, but am thrilled to announce that it is finally a reality!<\/p>\n<p>For those who are longstanding readers of ICT Pulse, you may have noted that we have a great appreciation for podcasts, and recently highlighted <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2fEllRm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">their continued and growing popularity<\/a>. However, our reason for adding this medium to ICT Pulse goes far beyond just jumping on a trend bandwagon.<\/p>\n<p>For the past seven years, ICT Pulse has been a text-based publication. Adding a podcast (audio-only), will allow us to develop and explore an exciting dimension for engagement, Further, instead of just me (or a single author) sharing my (or his\/her) thoughts on a particular subject, the podcast format facilitates dynamic discussions, which we believe will enrich the insights and conversations we could be having.<\/p>\n<p>To that end, and so far, we have lined up one-on-one interviews with individuals, many of whom are considered experts in their fields, or otherwise trying to make a difference in the local or regional tech space. We are also planning to have small panel discussions, with up to three or four people, to review select issues.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, if you would like to be a guest on our podcast, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ict-pulse.com\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>please get in touch with us<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Podcast episodes will be released on Wednesdays, and will be accompanied by a short article with notes on the show.<\/p>\n<p><del>Additionally, arrangements are being made for the ICT Pulse Podcast to be available on Apple iTunes. When Apple\u2019s verification process is completed, we will advise you, and ask for your support by subscribing to the podcast on iTunes, and leaving a review to help others find the show.<\/del><\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:\u00a0 The ICT Pulse Podcast is now available on <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/ict-pulse-podcast\/id1373550291\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple iTunes<\/a>!
