  • From the Cutting Room Floor – Down a Rabbit Hole

    In this From the Cutting Room Floor episode, Brian is joined by Jon McCabe, Quality Analyst, and Russell Dabbs, Senior Laboratory Assessor. This audio is taken from their discussion on ASTM D 4318 and AASHTO T89/T90.  During their recording session, Brian, Jon, and Russ went down some rabbit holes, and while their discussions weren't really relevant to the main podcast topic, we thought there was some value in sharing it with you in a separate episode. So in this episode, they discuss using reliable sources for training, the expectations during the assessment, and the importance of ethical lab practices.  Plus, listen to the end to learn how you can be a part of our upcoming Thanksgiving episode!
