"We've had great success with the interviews produced for Problem Solved, but we also had to recognize the behaviors of our audience," said David Brandt, IISE's digital marketing and communications manager. "Most podcast audiences don't listen to an entire episode, and that's largely because our tech culture is made up of constant distractions.

"ExpertISE has highly valuable content that can be consumed in short bursts, and over time we'll have built a dynamic collection of wisdom from experienced voices from the profession."

Problem Solved recently earned an Azbees Southeast Regional Gold Award for Online-Podcast from the American Society of Business Publication Editors. The winning episode "Generative AI and ISEs: What's now? What's next?" was published December 2023.

The awards recognize outstanding work by business, trade, association and professional publications across 61 print and online categories.
