Leading Tennessee Broadband Forward

Tnba Podcast Is an Innovative Way To Reach the Industry

“Lead Tennessee Radio” continues to bring the most pertinent broadband industry news in podcast form to audiences throughout the state with a focus on how current events and policies affect them. The show, hosted by TNBA Executive Director Carrie Huckeby, has featured leaders speaking on topics like broadband in smart homes and in agriculture, closing the generational digital divide, and using federal funds to finish the job of #ConnectingTN.

True to form, podcast producers made the most of the opportunity at the recent KYRBA/TNBA Fall Conference & Supplier Showcase presented by setting up on-site for a series of unique upcoming episodes. A special thank-you goes to TNBA Government Affairs Director Trevor Bonnstetter and Andy Johns of Pioneer Utility Resources for guest hosting “Lead Tennessee Radio” during the conference. We encourage you to watch out for 6 new episodes that will launch over the next few months.

Guests and subjects will include:

• Brooke Coleman, of Nokia, a platinum TNBA member, on the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment program
• Leif Oveson, of NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association
• Craig Barber, of Hatbox, a broadband cybersecurity company and platinum TNBA member

Recording at the conference presents a chance to recognize the power of podcasting. Taking advantage of the wealth of information and expertise this event pulled into 1 place not only generated new material with on-site guests, but it created an opportunity for those who weren’t in the audience to experience conference benefits with information about creations and happenings. It’s 1 more way to keep content fresh in the minds of our industry members so innovations can continue to move forward.
