This special anniversary show will feature many of the moments and key guests that continues to make our show a great success. Like prior year’s anniversary shows, we have bloopers! These never before heard outtakes will have you chuckling throughout the hour. The HR Power Hour is educational but it can also be fun!

Thank you to all our listeners as without you the show’s success would not be possible. Also, thank you to the local, regional, national and now international guests that provide us so many tips and take-a-ways. So kick back, listen, enjoy, and learn.
