    Ivy Insights

    The United We Scan podcast is an invaluable resource for postal workers looking for information and guidance during these challenging times. I had the pleasure of meeting Bill, one of the hosts, at a convention in Orlando, and although I was initially warned that he was a troublemaker, I now regret not engaging more with him. Listening to a few podcasts from this show has made it clear to me that all four hosts genuinely care about the craft and their fellow carriers.

    One of the best aspects of The United We Scan podcast is the wealth of information it provides. Postal workers are facing extremely difficult times, and having access to as much information as possible is essential. The hosts do a fantastic job of discussing various topics related to their profession, offering insights and tips that can be immensely helpful. Whether it's discussing load time for credits or addressing customer outreach scans, they provide in-depth explanations and advice that truly benefit their listeners.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is the hosts' passion for their work. It's evident that they genuinely care about what they do, and this passion shines through in every episode. Their dedication to sharing knowledge and helping others in their field is inspiring. As someone coming up in the post office as a current rural carrier associate (RCA), I appreciate the guidance and information provided by The United We Scan podcast. It has given me a deeper understanding of my role and has equipped me with useful knowledge that I wouldn't have otherwise known.

    While there aren't many negative aspects to this podcast, one potential downside could be the hosting style. Some listeners might find Bill's straightforward approach as an old school steward too brash or confrontational at times. However, I believe his honesty adds value to the discussions and brings important perspectives to light.

    In conclusion, The United We Scan podcast is an exceptional resource for postal workers seeking relevant information and advice during challenging times. The hosts' passion for their craft is evident throughout each episode, and their dedication to helping others is commendable. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone working in the postal service or interested in learning more about it. Keep up the amazing work!
