The Merry Crew
The vPirate Radio crew consists of Joe Houghes, Jim Jones, Matt Crape, and Brian Knudtson. We get together on occasion to have a good time and record it for you. We connected through the enterprise IT community, primarily around VMware, but have a diverse set of interests that we often discuss. Listen in as we discuss topics like IT news, the latest in cybersecurity, AI, consumer technology, business, and life in the digital age.
