The story of the podcast began in 2003. Then he was called "Managing Technology: The Right Way!" And was a live radio show. His lead was and still remains Sandjong Aul ( Sanjog Aul ), IT consultant and entrepreneur, who was on the Top 100 Under 50 Leaders list according to the Diversity MBA magazine. Today, the podcast is a series of interviews with executives from large Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 companies.

What they say: There is no specialization - they talk about big data, cloud technologies and the Internet of things. However, IT governance is often touched upon. For example, one of the recent issues dealt with improving the quality of customer service using the ITSM methodology. In another, the participants discussed the prospects of artificial intelligence systems for technical support. It is believed that the podcast is well suited as a “first look” on unfamiliar topics in these areas.
