Big fan of both Mallory and Voltaire and this podcast is a great look into the people that have been impacting higher education marketing and communications for the past couple of decades. I appreciate the authentic vulnerability guests often bring. Plus it’s always fun to hear my friends talk about their passions.
This podcast is for higher Ed marketers who don’t have a lot of time and could use some inspo between conferences and strategy sessions.

Great introduction and excited to hear more perspectives from future guests
