  • Entertaining and informative podcast

    Great podcast! Jill is a fantastic host, that has brought on a huge cross section of people involved in the many different sectors of the EHS community. It’s fascinating to hear about how other safety professionals started off in the industry and what things they have worked on and things they are currently working on. The only things I wish is that the episodes were more frequent and longer in length.
