Hello, I am Rosie, your MoTaverse Weekly host.
Every week, anyone can join the virtual stage as we gather live to talk all things quality. We then turn our live conversation into a podcast. It's perhaps the easiest way to get podcast credibility.
Our final episode of 2025 is happening this Friday, of course, the name is tweaked to This Year in Quality.
We'd love for you to join us. Listen in. Join in the text chat. Or jump up on stage. Build your credibility. The choice is yours.
