Brad and Dave. Great Job. The podcast is about the right length and gives very useful information to those not familiar with the GSA Schedules Program. I plan to refer agency customers and GSA Customer Service Directors (CSD)s to this site so they can gain a better appreciation for the GSA Schedules Program.

Very well done. Tremendous insight into the complex world of procurement. This is a great approach to educating customer agency contracting officers as well as internal GSA stakeholders (e.g., CSDs, customer facing employees) on the use of schedules. Efforts like this that stimulate ongoing, meaningful dialog are integral to any successful outreach program. Brad and Dave combine knowledge with humor to effectively communicate value in the podcast. I encourage those who work with GSA to listen to this and future episodes to avoid "MAS confusion". Who knows, perhaps a radio talk show is next? MAS Talk with Glick & Glack? Kudos to you both.

Thanks for the kind words, Robert! I'm not sure if the world is ready for us to do a radio show but we have more podcast episodes in the mill.

Brad and Dave,just finished listening to your podcast, it was very informative and will assist me in "selling" the use of the schedules and answering some of the more basic questions. Appeciated the references for each one of your points. Time very well spent - looking forward to the next episode.

The entire presentation was great. Some specifics are: Loved the use of the Show Stoppers & Myth Busters. Voices were great - just like radio personnality voices. Sounded like a friendly conversation and there was nothing that "put me off." Liked the way you synopsized what had been covered at the end of the podcast, talked about Episode 2, and then talked about future podcasts. It gave a sense of continuity and forthcoming additional help. Great use of FAR references without getting bogged down in boring content. Liked you giving location for viewing the podcast online. The "picture" on the screen with all the varied colors and designs was great to look at while listening, and did not detract at all from the words. The way you took turns speaking, and spoke to each other at times, and to the audience at other times gave that good feeling you get when you are listening to a group of announcers on the radio during rush hour. You captured that sense of being at a gathering that the radio hosts convey. The entire production was very professional, interesting, and informative. All information was presented so well. It was logical and easy to understand. And for those who needed proof of what you said, you gave FAR cites. BRAVO!!!
