COBOL (COBOL?), Defanging, and Still More Snowden Fallout

  • by

I was lucky enough to be asked, again, by Francis Rose to be on his regular Friday ‘Federal News Countdown”, this last Friday, January 31st. The show can be heard here: Federal News Countdown.

The other guest was Jon Desenberg, the Policy Director for the Performance Institute, The Performance Insitute.

For those unfamiliar with the show, each guest selects their three top stories of the week relating to the Federal Government. The third most important story is discussed first by each, the second next, and the most important last.

FEDERAL NEWS COUNTDOWN

As many of you know (assuming that there is in fact a ‘you’, that is people who read this), I am fortunate to be asked back by the evidently non-discerning, but always interesting and entertaining, Francis Rose to be on his show the Federal News Countdown, http://www.federalnewsradio.com/?nid=155.

I will be on tomorrow, Friday, August 16 at 3pm, on AM 1500 on your radio dial.

The way the show works is Francis invites two ‘experts’ (his words) who ‘discuss the three news stories they think are most important in the world of government’. I learn a lot from the experience.

First, I am forced to think about what I actually think are news stories that have some importance, at least for the week I participate. I even have to rank them from third most important to the very most important article.

Second, I always learn from the interaction with the other guest. Francis is great at getting together two people who bring different perspectives; it is always great fun for me.

Federal News Countdown – February 1st

I was, to my continual amazement, invited back again to be on the Federal news Countdown, hosted by Francis Rose, on WFED, on the AM dial at 1500.

During the show two guests go over their top three Federal news stories of the week, starting with their third most important, then their second and finally their most important story. The other guess this time was Larry Allen, http://www.allenfederal.com/. Larry is a long-time industry expert on acquisition and a good person. Having been on this particular show a number of times, this one was particularly fun to do.
