Introducing the new name for our podcast -- WT 360

Gettyimages.com/ JuShoot

As we retire the Project 38 brand, we look back at some of our favorite episodes from the past year and preview what to expect with the new name and look.

As we start 2023, Washington Technology is rebranding our Project 38 podcast.

We had a specific idea when launching Project 38 in 2018: talk to industry leaders about the future of government contracting. What will the market look like in 20 years? What must companies do to prepare for and make that future happen?

What will the market look like in 2038? That’s where Project 38 got its name.

It quickly became apparent that looking ahead 20 years was a hard concept to sustain. Most of the executives we talked to were looking in a horizon of two-to-three years.

The podcast's focus evolved into talking with company leaders and market observers about what they saw driving GovCon. It was still about change and looking forward, just not 20 years.

It’s a formula that served us well, but we feel the time was right for a new name that more closely reflects what we do.

WT 360 will continue the approach that Project 38 adopted. The idea is to look at the market from all angles, hence the number in the title referencing 360 degrees.

We will continue our interviews with executives and market observers. We will also have groups of episodes around specific topics and themes, such as mergers and acquisitions and the Top 100.

We are also launching a twice a month WT360 podcast called The Info Sessions. These will be roundtable discussions with other reporters from GovExec.

As we say good-bye to the Project 38 name, I wanted to highlight a few of our favorite episodes from the past year. Both Ross and I selected a few. They are not in any ranked order, but are all worth a second listen.

Looking back at 2022 and ahead to 2023 – This interview with David Berteau was a fitting conclusion to Project 38 as they reviewed 2022 and at the challenges and opportunities ahead in 2023. Ross and Government Executive's Courtney Buble were the questioners.
