HosPortal loves to listen to good podcasts. And about 21 minutes and 50 seconds into a recent episode of the Cautionary Tales podcast we saw some insight into the parallels between good design of nuclear reactors, Oscar award envelope logistics, and HosPortal’s shift-swap and shift-splitting features. We are often asked whether we have a mechanism […]
