| 6/24/26 |  Ep. 38 - Beth Lesen, California State University, Long Beach | Send us Fan Mail Leadership, laughter, and a little Dairy Queen debate? This episode has it all.

| 6/17/26 |  Ep. 37 - A "Just Us" Episode | Send us Fan Mail This week, the rails were more of a suggestion than a destination. Kevin celebrates his 46th birthday while Brody shares his philosophy that every birthday is worth celebrating. Along the way, the conversation veers into unexpected territory: the disappearance of neckties, the quest for the perfect joggers, movie theater etiquette (put the phone away!), and whether theaters are destined to become the drive-ins of the future. Eventually, the duo finds their way back to higher ... | 34m 34s | ||||||

| 2/25/26 |  Ep. 21 - A "Just Us" Episode | Send us Fan Mail Winter is (almost) over, spring break is playing hard to get, and The Pickup Meeting is back with a classic “Just Us” episode. Brody and Kevin kick things off with birthday gauntlets, daylight savings time grievances, and a spirited debate over the Winter Olympics. Speed skating? Hockey? Iconic. What does it really mean to lead when leadership isn’t popular? How do you make tough calls, pivot initiatives, and have hard conversations with compassion? Kevin and Brody dive... | 28m 43s | ||||||
| 2/18/26 |  Ep. 20 - Cecilia Olivares, University of Missouri | Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Pickup Meeting, Brody and Kevin welcome Cecilia Olivares, Director of Academic Advising Initiatives at the University of Missouri and former NACADA President, for a conversation that zigzags delightfully from Easter candy to change management to the existential question of academic advising itself. Fresh off the Administrators Institute, the trio dives into: Tech implementation without losing the human touchDecentralization dilemmas and the art of stayi... | 59m 48s | ||||||
| 2/11/26 |  Ep. 19 - A Just Us Episode | Send us Fan Mail In this Just Us edition of The Pickup Meeting, Kevin Thomas and Michael “Brody” Broshears settle into a wide-ranging conversation that feels like one of their regular phone calls. From the many ways we mispronounce February and other deeply suspicious English words, to Valentine’s Day nostalgia, chalky candy hearts, and why umbrellas are wildly overrated, this episode leans into humor, reflection, and a little bit of friendly ranting. The conversation then shifts to higher ed... | 33m 33s | ||||||
| 2/4/26 |  Ep. 18 - Jennifer Markin, Henry Ford College | Send us Fan Mail This episode of The Pickup Meeting kicks off with peak banter, including an impossible Indiana football season, shared indifference toward cars, and the kind of sports fandom that only comes once in a lifetime. Kevin and Brody then welcome an incredible guest, Jennifer Markin, Director of Advising at Henry Ford College, who brings warmth, humor, and deep insight into advising, leadership, and student success in the community college context. Jennifer shares what pulled her ba... | 1h 02m 47s | ||||||
| 1/28/26 |  Ep. 17 - A "Just Us" Episode | Send us Fan Mail This week on The Pickup Meeting, Brody and Kevin ditch the guest list and settle into a classic Just Us episode. Think less polished panel, more honest phone call between two friends who’ve seen a few semesters, a few campuses, and more than a few questionable comfort foods. The conversation wanders joyfully through first-week-of-college memories, accidental class enrollment disasters, legendary professors, Super Bowl predictions that may or may not age well, and the real wor... | 33m 28s | ||||||

Rodney’s career journey zigzags through academic advising, orientation, student affairs leadership, crisis response, Greek life, career services, and yes, literally being a mascot. 🐾 Along the way, Brody and Kevin unpack procrastination, gr... | 1h 02m 32s | ||||||
| 1/14/26 |  Ep. 15 - A "Just Us" Episode | Send us Fan Mail 🎙️ New Year, Same Pickup Energy It’s 2026! In the first Just Us episode of the year, Kevin and Brody kick things off with sharp banter, real talk, and the kind of spirited disagreement that only longtime co-hosts can survive. This episode zigzags delightfully through end-of-semester chaos and post-holiday limbo. But beneath the laughs is a powerful conversation about higher education, advising, and the quiet, life-altering magic of a single 30-minute meeting. Press play, sett... | 29m 24s | ||||||

They're joined by Kerry Kincanon from Oregon State University, a nationally respected voice in exploratory advising, student success, and developmental advising. Kerry brings deep insight on helping st... | 1h 06m 59s | ||||||
