FROM THE EDITOR

Announcing Our New Podcast!
I CAN'T REMEMBER the first time I listened to a podcast, or even when I first knew what
that was. I do remember discovering I could subscribe to podcasts and create a library
on my phone so that there would always be something there to listen to. And, while I
normally drive an old but trusty 2003 model car with limited gadgets and innovations, I
rented a new car for a few days last December and discovered that I could connect my
phone to the car and listen to podcasts right from the dashboard speakers! That was an
unexpected gift.
I work from home,
so I don't have the
commute time that
many workers (at least
pre-COVID) enjoy (I
know there are some
who don't enjoy commute time, but stick with
me here). I remember many
years ago commuting on the train
to the Deloitte offices in downtown
Chicago from the western suburbs
and using the time to read books
(which I carried in my leather
monogrammed briefcase) and listen
to music on my WALKMAN! Even
before that, I commuted by bus to
downtown Washington, D.C. where
I worked in the accounting department of a (now defunct) law firm,
and having that time to read on the
bus was relaxing and delightful. In

both cases, carrying
a good book was like
taking a friend with
me on the ride.
I think I would
really like dedicating
commute time to podcasts now if I were still a
commuter. My podcast library
fills up quickly and it's difficult to
keep up, but I do enjoy knowing
the recordings are there, available
whenever I have some time to fill.
And with those happy memories
in mind, we here at CPA Practice

Advisor are delighted to announce
that we have partnered with Randy
Johnston (executive vice president
and shareholder at K2 Enterprises,
and CEO/co-founder of Network
Management Group, Inc.) and
Brian Tankersley (director, strategic
relationships at K2 Enterprises, and
adjunct instructor at Yaeger CPA
Review) to produce a new podcast
called The Technology Lab.
Each week, Brian and Randy will
take a deep dive into a software
product that you should know
about. Whether it's a product you
