We’ve made it to the end of Season 1 of the People Nerds Podcast! To celebrate, we’re turning the spotlight on one of our own. That’s right—this week we’re talking to the one and only Ben from People Nerds. You might know Dr. Ben Wiedmaier from your People Nerds Newsletter each week, or as your dulcet co-host of this very podcast. But what you might now know is that Ben, in addition to being our most public (and popular) People Nerd, is also dscout’s Lead Content Strategist and an Assistant Professor of Communications at DePaul University. This week Karen talks with Ben all about his career, from academia to the head voice of People Nerds. We also talk all about communications and building connections, whether it’s an interview or a new potential date. Ben also shares his unique point of view on research, cultivated from his position at the center of our community, and predicts where he thinks the industry is headed next. Join us behind the People Nerds scenes with this special Season 1 finale.
