On January 31, 2025, Blog Talk Radio will cease operations. Drive Thru HR has been on the platform since the very first show on February 1, 2010. So almost to the day!
In that time, we have posted 1, 665 episodes and had 945,184 listens on BTR alone (that doesn’t include our listeners and downloads on other channels including Spotify, iTunes, etc.).
Due to challenges beyond our control, we have lost the ability to migrate the entire show library over and find that we are starting fresh in 2025 – literally 15 years to the day!
So before we lose access to our library of 1,665 shows, here is a bit of history:
First week of shows
2/1/2010 – “Everything HR”
2/2/201 – Twitter is here to stay; friend or foe to HR?” – with guest Jessica Miller-Merrell
2/3/2010 – “Can employee engagement really be improved?” – w/ guest Geoff Webb
2/4/2010 – “TruConference and maybe TruDat” – w/ guest Bill Boorman
2/5/2010 – “Discussing Everything HR #FF”
COVID era shows
At the height of Covid closings Robin and Michael went back to “live” call-in shows for a few months when we told listeners to grab the beverage of their choice and hang out on the Twitter backchannel!
