For D CEO‘s May issue, we reached out to leaders in North Texas to ask what podcast everyone should tune in to. Ranging from societal and cultural topics, to industry-centric shows, as well as some comedic relief, here’s a sense for how area executives stay up to date on current events, or unwind for a good laugh.
“On a road trip to Colorado, my wife and I listened to The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling. It was a fascinating documentary that explores cultural and social issues surrounding transgender identity and the battle between progressives and conservatives—wokeness vs. anti-wokeness—all against the backdrop of the story of the backlash surrounding the Harry Potter series and its author J.K. Rowling.”
Chris Trowbridge, Bell Nunnally
