Hey, those of you who are regular listeners to our PodCascadia…have you noticed something different lately? A lilt in Aaron’s voice? A giddiness emanating from Christine? Well, those are the effects of our new podcast producer, Richard Watson!

Christine shares that “Richard has been a great addition to the podcast team, jumping right in to provide logistical support. He's already organized our schedules, policies and procedures on a wiki. He's even recorded his first segment. He's always enthusiastic and full of new ideas.”

Richard has experience as a technical content writer, and is a published author, having authored and co-authored several books published by Prentice Hall that deal with Windows administration and network security.

He has more than a decade of experience delivering and developing courseware for private companies, community colleges and universities. These have included instructor-led courses both in the classroom and via the Internet. All of this technical know-how made him the perfect choice for podcast producer.

Richard holds numerous technical certifications and is now working on the attainment of his CPLP designation.

Some thoughts from Richard: "My experience with the ASTD-Cascadia Chapter and the PodCascadia program has been incredible! I've had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people who not only share my passion for learning but also understand the power of collaboration and networking".

"One of the biggest impacts the Chapter and the PodCascadia program has made on me is recognizing the critical role that others can play in helping you develop your own career. Through conversations with fellow members I've learned how to identify my true strengths, how to network effectively with others, and if that wasn't enough, I've made some amazing friends along the way that I can count on to provide advice and encouragement".

"Whether it's working with Christine Martell and Aaron Munter to produce the Chapter's podcast program or participating in the Chapter's first Certified Professional in Learning and Performance (CPLP) Study group, it's been a great experience. I feel privileged to be able to tap into the wonderful resources the ASTD-Cascadia Chapter has to offer!”

Thank you for applying your technical and organizational expertise to the delivery of our Podcasts, Richard. Your team and our chapter appreciate all that you do!
