Podcast Interviews With Experts
Our new episodes drop every Monday. Scroll to the bottom of the page to see where we’ve been guests on other shows.
The Practical DAM Podcast is a series of interviews with experts about topics in the textbook. Each interview roughly correlates with a chapter of the book, but because we think the more people talk about their work in the field, the more we all learn, we do tend to get off topic and into things like vendor relationships, contract negotiations, and the realities of contract DAM work. Click on the links below for a full discussion with the authors and another DAM expert. Scroll down the page to see a list of other podcasts where the authors talk about DAM.
In addition to starting the very first DAM podcast ever almost twenty years ago, Henrik wrote introductions to E’s first two textbooks. Lisa asks Henrik about what has changed, and what has stayed the same as we go over what is, and isn’t a Digital Asset Management system nowadays.
Seema Caron works in the San Francisco area as the Founder and principal consultant for Info Alchemy, and has seen it all working for clients launching new DAMs. Seema, Lisa, and E talk about the realities of leaving corporate DAM gigs behind for the contract worker life, and how we can all support each other while furthering our careers.
When Ralph wasn’t busy co-founding DAM News, the primary industry news source for Digital Asset Managers, he was busy watching the evolution of the field from the inside. In this episode, we talk about the changing vendor landscape and why you should be keeping up with https://digitalassetmanagementnews.org/ .
E has worked with M. K., Lisa has worked with them both, but the three experts on this episode have never all collaborated at the same time! In this episode, we get into the great movement to get all DAM hosting into the cloud - and why that era may be ending for a while. The three of us have feelings about putting your server in a closet.
Allison King helps librarians find jobs outside the traditional library setting, often as Digital Asset Managers. In this episode, we talk about how our field has a lot of work available, but few jobs, and how vocational awe can cause librarians to undervalue the skills they’ve learned on the job. Episode will go live Monday, August 31st.
