The Chad & Cheese Podcast is an irreverent, deeply knowledgeable deep-dive into the HR, recruiting, and workforce technology industry, hosted by veteran talent-acquisition insiders Chad Sowash and Joel Cheesman. Blending sharp industry analysis with biting sarcasm, dad jokes, and unfiltered commentary, the show dissects breaking news, funding rounds, M&A activity, AI and automation trends, and the systemic dysfunctions of corporate hiring. Weekly "Shred" roundups keep listeners current on vendor news and market shifts, while longer-form episodes feature candid interviews with TA leaders, HR tech founders, and industry disruptors tackling topics like agentic AI, data privacy, labor market softness, and recruiting automation gone wrong. The tone is irreverent and comedic, but the substance is serious—making it a favorite among HR professionals, recruiters, staffing executives, and HR tech vendors who want sharp critique delivered without corporate spin. Its blend of snark, insider access, and genuine industry expertise sets it apart from more buttoned-up business or HR podcasts.
