A note from the host…

4748 days ago, the first T is for Training happened. I had an idea to start a podcast for library trainers, since we were usually the lone wolves in our places of work.

It was a pilot show with three friends, Beth, Bobbi and Jennifer, and we talked about 23 Things and learning while playing (remember that?), Active Shooter Training (unfortunately still needed) and a Trainer Bi*ch Session (also still needed.) With show links on Delicio.us *RIP*

Also, the very cool Trainer’s Alphabet was discussed on FriendFeed (RIP) Here is a link to the two August 2008 posts about the pilot show and the Trainer’s Alphabet. August 2008 T is for Training Posts

Unfortunately, those older shows, along with the first 150 episodes or so, are lost in the ether.

If you happen to have any copies of our older shows, drop us a line!

This show as survived MANY changes.

Life changes.

Job Changes.

Support Changes.

But we still try to do something useful every two weeks (most of the time.)

The real first show took place on September 12th, 2008. But the show on August 29th is the first place T is for Training happened.

It has been a long and fun thirteen years and counting.

Thank all (five) of you for listening, and I hope you all continue to support us with your kind words and thoughts.

Also JOIN US on a Thursday night. You know you want to…

T is for Training 120 – Congress with a 2 Drink Minimum

The 120th @tisfortraining recorded on Friday.   Download the podcast here.

We talked with Kate Kostursk and Andrea Snyder about conference behaviors and things we want everyone to know about conferences.   (However that list is in another place than I am this point.)

But I tell you what, it was a brilliant list.

Happy Holidays from your T is for Training family — We are back on January 11th.

Hope you are all having a happy and healthy holiday season and wish you a joyous and successful new year.

We had our last show (our 111th, by the way)  “Wishing You A Better Tomorrow” and with the show being taped the day of the Newtown, CT incident.  We discussed workplace safety and active shooter situations.  A bit of departure from our normal subject matter.

If you just follow this blog and not our twitter feed @tisfortraining you may not know that we have been producing shows pretty much every two weeks throughout the year.

I would like to thank this year’s substitute host Kate K.  who always does a fantastic job when she guest hosts the show.

You can go to our talkshoe page and see our list of calls over the fall and early winter 2012.

Our next show is scheduled for January 11th, 2013  at 2 pm eastern time.

Our next call in show after that will be on February 8th, 2013 also at 2 pm eastern time.

I will be at ALA Midwinter in Seattle and may do a live show there.  We shall see.
