The 500th Episode
We’re excited to present our 500th episode of the Contracting Officer Podcast.
Kevin Jans and Paul Schauer created The Contracting Officer Podcast to help both government and industry to understand more about how the other side thinks.
As former Federal Contracting Officers who have also walked in industry’s shoes, Kevin and Paul share their expertise and perspectives in support of the podcast’s mission: Make government contracting better, one contract at a time.

500 – The Quincentenary (the 500th Episode)
It’s been over 10 years since we started the Contracting Officer Podcast. See the whole library at http://GovConPodcast.com!
“It has been a great ride making these episodes each week. We’ve managed to navigate changing rules in GovCon, struggles with how to make huge concepts simpler, issues with timing, travel, sound recording, echoes, software blips, and even occasionally technical fails where we had to redo the whole episode. It’s all worth it. I love creating these episodes every week: doing the work, getting better every time thanks to feedback from our listeners.”
- Kevin Jans
Here in the 500th episode, Kevin and Paul cover a short history of what got them to 500, some things that have changed, some things that have not, and what’s next (hint: another 500 episodes!). The podcast will continue to support Skyway’s Mission of Bring Context to Both Sides of GovCon to help people to Do GovCon Well.
NOTE: given the turbulent times of GovCon right now, we are here to help you navigate GovCon as it is, within the rules we have, with the options we have…to get the job done. If you’re struggling through the Fog of GovCon right now, reach out to our team at http://AskSkyway.com. We’re here to help.
