What is a Podcast Fireside Chat?
Following each podcast recording, a small group of members from the OH community participate in an unrecorded chat with the guest of the podcast. This intimate, 30-minute session is designed to foster a safe, behind-the-scenes atmosphere where folks can dive deeper and ask thoughtful, meaningful questions—going beyond surface-level inquiries or answers easily found online.
It’s an opportunity for real, raw dialogue that creates authentic connections without feeling too personal or intrusive.
