Get the Latest BuZZ Each Week

Digital Production Buzz – May 30, 2019

On this episode of The Buzz, we talk with experts about the current state of technology and how it affects what we do in the future, user groups, and the way we teach technology.

On another note, we’ve decided it’s time to take a break from the Digital Production Buzz to focus more on training. After our May 30th program, we’ll be putting the podcast on hiatus. You will still be able to find all of our Buzz shows on iTunesTheBuzzShow.libsyn.com, and the DigitalProductionBuzz.com website. While I will miss hosting The Buzz and chatting with you, I look forward to creating new training.

Join host Larry Jordan as he talks with Philip Hodgetts, Michael Kammes, Erik Johnson, Mike Horton and James DeRuvo.

  • Four Technology Trends to Watch
  • How to Succeed at Storytelling
  • Why Teaching Technology is Important
  • User Groups: Networking and Craft Skills
  • James DeRuvo’s Journal
