Sharing HR insights with drive-thru efficiency and occasionally irreverent discourse since 2010.
“Irreverent. Cheeky. Easy to digest. Drive Thru HR has a fast-paced, tongue-in-cheek style that has quickly built them a reputation as one of the favourite podcasts for HR professionals. Most episodes are focused on a particular topic which could be absolutely anything HR related. Occasionally, hosts Robin and Mike will just spend half an hour chatting about nothing in particular but you’ll still come away feeling like you’ve learnt something, whilst also being entertained!” – Factorial
"Why You Should Listen:
Stay informed about the latest developments in HR technology and regulations, hear expert opinions on managing modern workforce challenges, and learn from the experiences and insights of seasoned HR professionals." - People Managing People
"Since 2010, DriveThruHR has carved out a reputation as the fast-paced, tongue-in cheek lunchtime show for HR professionals. The hosts and their motley crew of HR superstar guests spend half an hour every two weeks deliberating the hottest topics in the HR space, from the challenges of recruiting and talent management to company culture and the best (and worst) of HR tech. So, turn up the volume on your own wellbeing, and hit the play button on this show while you step out for some fresh air and some dedicated you time during your lunch break."- HiBob
Michael leverages his extensive experience in Labor Relations and HR in his role at LRI Consulting Services, focusing on fostering strong associate relations via strategic communications to create extraordinary workplaces. He serves as co-host of the Left of Boom podcast and enjoys offering platforms, including #DTHR, in order to discuss pressing HR issues and share insights with a broad audience.
Robin is Director of Talent Strategy with HR consulting firm Humareso and is a self-proclaimed “advocate of the workplace revolution.” She regularly speaks to global HR and TA audiences and writes for various publications as well as her own popular HR blog. Named by HR Executive Magazine as one of the Top 100 HR Tech Influencers (2019 & 2020), she continues her search for the perfect French 75.
On February 1, 2010, Bryan Wempen, the founder of #DTHR hosted the very first show. This episode, “Everything HR,” was a pre-cursor of things to come.
In the early days, and for many years after, the show was a live call-in show. Airing every day (at “lunch time”), guests and callers would “dial-in” to be part of the conversation while simultaneously keeping a robust back-channel alive on Twitter using the hashtag #DTHR.
After several years, Bryan was joined by co-host William Tincup and then, forming a trio, Nisha Raghavan joined the team. In subsequent years, the show added a number of regular co-hosts and/or fill-in hosts including Michael VanDervort, Crystal Miller-Lay and Dwane Lay. In 2018, Robin Schooling joined Michael and today, as a duo, they ensure the show remains in the top 3% of global business/HR podcasts.
Drivethru HR is, first and foremost, a community…as it always has been. It’s a gathering place – the pub, the coffee shop, the lounge at an HR event – where like-minded people come together. We discuss the world of work, HR, Talent Acquisition, HR Technology, Leadership, and social trends and ideas. Our guests include CHROs of large global brands and HR practitioners working as a “Department of One” in SMBs. We talk to HR analysts and innovators, and we chat with founders of technology companies. We converse with employment attorneys and those who rail against the employment attorneys.
As we approach our 15-year anniversary, and close in on 1,700 episodes with 1M+ downloads (across all ptatforms) we thank YOU…our listeners and our HR community…for listening. We’re committed to keeping the show “on the air” because we firmly believe the work we ALL do is important…and WORTH discussing.
Cheers!
