View fullsize

Solid updates this week heading into the holiday weekend. No guest on today's show, but more being scheduled.

I've been hard at work the past couple of weeks getting things spun up for the expansion of this show and Supporting IT Support into video, as well as launching the newsletter and blog posts! If you want to continue talking about Google Workspace and other IT Admin topics, I invite you to join our tabGeeks Slack community at tabgeeks.com/slack! As mentioned we have launched our newsletter which includes our latest episodes, important tech news of the week, management articles, and job listings. Sign up on tabgeeks.com at the bottom of the page.

On Spotify we have a new poll asking if you prefer episodes with or without guests, feel free to vote!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
