You might have already spotted Incoming President Andy Armacost on campus, in meetings or at events. Earlier this week, he took a break from his schedule to chat with Interim President Joshua Wynne on the latest episode of the UND presidential podcast. In fact, Armacost served as Wynne’s first-ever guest on the podcast, which is launching its second season this week.

The two chatted about a host of topics, ranging from Armacost’s preferred term of address (hint: it’s not “Brigadier General,” nor is it “Dr. Armacost”) to becoming a North Dakotan to what Armacost is learning about UND and Grand Forks in advance of his start date on June 1.

The full episode of the podcast will be released tomorrow (Friday) via the Leadership Updates blog (and you can listen to it on Spotify). But here is a teaser — and an answer to a pressing question: what is Armacost going to do with the podcast?
