The Geoholics Podcast: Filling A Void In The Geomatics World
I was recently made aware of a new podcast that serves geomatics professionals (that’s you). Hosted by Kent Groh, LS, Ryan Kelly, CP and “Producer Jake”, The Geoholics offers up a combination of serious, pertinent discussion in a quaint atmosphere. Upon visiting their website, I found that one of my past surveying bosses was a featured guest of the most recent episode at the time. It was a great listen, and I really enjoyed the experience. It reminded me of a past work environment during my 5-year stint in Tucson, Arizona, where we had a ton of fun working in the surveying department but we also got a lot of work done.
The podcast is called The Geoholics and you should definitely give it a listen. So far, they are 8 episodes in and they are working on another right now as I write this. I’ve visited their website and chatted with Kent about the endeavor, and I can see why it’s getting traction — they’re passionate about it and obviously love working on it.
From their website at thegeoholics.com:
The purpose of this podcast is to provide listeners with a light-hearted yet serious perspective on the life of a geomatics professional. Topics will cover the spectrum of these great professions and more, with few limitations. Listeners can count on being entertained and educated! Our objective is to not waste your time and leave you looking forward to the next episode.
