I'm really excited for today's episode because I am joined by my colleagues and new co-hosts, Christina High, NRPA's marketing specialist, and Cara Myers, NRPA's marketing and engagement manager. I'm really looking forward to this new era of Open Space Radio, and as many of you know, it's been a while since I've had co-hosts.
So, we thought it would be fun to sit down together for an episode and discuss what we're looking forward to, what you can expect on the show in future episodes, and share some of our experiences and takeaways from the NRPA Annual Conference a few weeks ago.
And, before we jump into the episode below, I'd be remiss if I didn't give a shoutout to Roxanne Sutton, who is the Open Space Radio host emeritus and original creator of this podcast – I'm so grateful that Roxanne brought me onto the show back in 2017 and not only showed me the ropes, but also helped create such a good foundation for what the show is today.
Tune in to our full conversation below to hear what we're planning for this next era of Open Space Radio (including asking for more feedback from you, the listener!). You'll also learn:
· Why Christina and Cara are excited to join Open Space Radio
· What we enjoyed about the 2023 NRPA Annual Conference

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
