This week on the GovNavigators Podcast, Robert and Adam discuss Speaker McCarthy's triumph taking all night to pass a bill that will never become law and OPM's release of its new data strategy. Also, former Federal CIO Tony Scott joins to talk about the importance of cyber resiliency.

And don’t sleep on the very end, when you’ll hear the first (but likely not the last) visit from the Office of Standards to the podcast.

Sandwiched between a discussion of the Professional Services Council annual conference, the release of the biennial GAO High Risk List, and a look at the week ahead, the GovNavigators talked with Independence Hydrogen's urbane CFO, Owen Barwell.

Owen walked Robert Shea and Adam Hughes through the journey from problem identification, study, and policy shaping to solution development using Independence Hydrogen's veteran-run effort to provide communities access to affordable, low-carbon hydrogen as an example.

Moving Dirt. Welding stuff. Government at work, indeed.

Friend of the show Charles Cooper from Brumidi Group joins the podcast this week to share some keen observations and his optimistic view from Capitol Hill as Congress returns to Washington.

In the news, Robert and Adam have somewhat opposing views on a new OMB memo strongly encouraging federal employees to return to the office and the upcoming release on quite an auspicious day of GAO's High Risk List.

It was a busy week even with Congress out of town. Tune in to hear about a regulatory process overhaul proposal from OMB, Labor IG sending nastygrams, and a brilliant Brewster’s Millions shout out.

The GovNavigators Podcast also welcomes friend of the show and noted fraud expert Linda Miller.

On this week’s GovNavigators Podcast, an empty guest chair was suddenly filled by an embarrassment of riches. It was like the red carpet outside a bureaucrat bonanza.

Adam Hughes and Robert Shea are back on the podcast circuit with the inaugural episode of the GovNavigators Podcast.
