IT in the D is your insider look at the tech scene in Detroit. Started in 2007 as a meetup group in Metro Detroit for IT professionals, the IT in the D podcast was born in 2013 as an extension of those conversations. Host Bob Waltenspiel and co-host and producer Randy Walker are IT industry veterans, but IT in the D is intentionally more conversational and less instructional. Each weekly show has guests ranging from CIOs and local rock stars, to subject matter experts, local event organizers, and everyone in between. We hope you enjoy listening to us as much as we enjoy recording the show.

Randy and I were recently invited to podcast on the floor of the CXO Forum Detroit 2025 Event at the beautiful Madison Loft.
My guest host of the day was board member and CTO of Cabinetworks Group and host of the Great Security Debate, Erik Wille.
We had a blast interviewing and having conversations with people like Martin Bally, CISO of The Campbell's Company, Galina Antova, Co-Founder of Kai, while taking tech from companies such as Black Kite, Prophet Security, Torq, and many others.
We talked about the future of AI in security, what automation is heading toward, the vendor landscape in security, bad salespeople, and overall had an absolute blast.
We ended the day talking with Tom Doane, who had a fascinating story about some projects has been involved with that is worth the listen alone.
Enjoy the listen, and THANK YOU to CXO Forum for partnering with us to podcast at your event!
