July 21, 2021 Episode 39 - Live from MidwestTechTalk2021, it's the Cory Show!
This episode is short and sweet. The guys are at MidwestTechTalk2021, well, not Josh. Chris is running around making sure the conference is going well as he's on the planning committee. Josh is on the planning committee too, but he bailed. Cory steps up and does the episode himself.

July 07, 2021 Episode 38 - Summer Check In (Sponsored by StatusGator)
Josh, Chris, and Cory check in with what has been going on this summer. All three have been busy with summer projects, planning MidwestTechTalk, presenting a session at ISTE, and taking vacation. The guys also mention the recent Kaseya issue, but save that for a later episode (Cory didn't want to talk about it). They also talk about the recent announcements from Google pertaining to Age settings as well as Drive Link sharing settings. There seems to be a bit of confusion around both of these new, required settings. And, for whatever reason, Chris does the entire podcast episode sitting in his car...

May 28, 2021 Episode 37 - IT'S SUMMER!
The guys celebrate the arrival of summertime and what it means... projects. Cory talks about all of his projects he has this summer. Chris is already talking about the arrival of new teachers and when to create those accounts. Josh and Cory talk about the reports they have received from MS-ISAC (MDBR and others), and they all talk about the newly announced VMware vCenter vulnerability and the need to patch ASAP.
Upcoming episodes might be less regular due to summer vacations, but we do plan to release episodes over the summer.

May 24, 2021 Episode 36 - Mobility Print
In this episode the guys take a deep dive into PaperCut Mobility Print. Chris recently did a demo of the product and Josh talks about how his district uses it. Then, they briefly touch on the new announcement of funding for schools to purchase computer equipment that will be administered through USAC, but it is a separate pool of money than E-rate.

May 14, 2021 Episode 35 - ISAC, FCC, and EOY Stuff
In this episode Josh is absent, so Cory and Chris actually have to come up with content. They talk about ISAC's offerings for K12 schools including free vulnerability scans and pen tests. They talk about the recent announcement that the FCC is going to offer a new "grant" for schools to help buy devices for students and teachers including laptops/Chromebooks. Finally, they talk about end of year collection and wrap up getting ready for summer.
