The Cisco Learning Network

Beth Oommen, Tanner Swift

Booking Overview

This is an interview-focused professional education podcast about Cisco certifications, networking, cybersecurity, and technology skills, typically featuring Cisco leaders, product managers, architects, and workforce-development experts. PR agencies could credibly pitch senior networking and cybersecurity practitioners, certification executives, cloud-collaboration specialists, and technology workforce experts with practical expertise, though booking is likely difficult because the show primarily features Cisco-affiliated guests and has a specialized editorial remit.
