Mandatory Mandy James

Mandy James is the morning show host with Pat PT Thomas and Mike
Dubs on Entercom's Buz'n @ 102.9 in Minneapolis. I've gotten to
know Mandy over the last few years at the Conclave Summer
Learning Conference. I watched as she bravely networked her way
through the room in 2017, eventually giving me a gift bag
complete with a Conclave survival kit which include a small
bottle of something flavourful when 5pm kicked in. She also asked
hard questions to industry leaders that needed answering as it
pertains to what companies are doing about advancing females in
the radio business. Coincidentally, Cox Media unveiled a
corporate strategy to address that while we were recording the
podcast.


In this episode, we talked about he path from listening to WLOL
99-and-a-half as a child led to stints in Iowa, Wisconsin,
Rockford, Illinois and now she's back in the Twin Cities. A lot
of what we spoke about stems from our passion in attending the
Conclave, so you will hear it come up more than once. Finally,
how does she find the bravery to ask hard questions?


Mandy was featured in two blogposts stemming from her question at
Conclave 42. The original here.
