Channel Chat
Welcome to the Channel Chat – home of the podcast which has now proudly become the ‘voice of the IT channel’ 🎙
Since the Podcast’s inception in 2019, the Channel Chat studio has hosted some of the IT channel’s biggest names, kept the nation engaged throughout a lockdown & tackled some of the industry's hottest topics – with regular host, Marc Sumner, asking the questions that many others are afraid to! 🤭
Numbers-wise, we now reach over 15,000 listeners per episode in over 32 countries, hosted 6 sell-out live events… & the best bit? We’re only just getting started!
In 2024, we’re incredibly proud to be launching 3 new events, including the much anticipated Reseller Rumble and have bigger plans than ever when it comes to the podcast.
