CHANTILLY, Va., Aug. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Engility (NYSE:
EGL) has launched the Get S.E.T podcast, a free monthly audio show.
Homegrown by Engility employees, the podcast combines the technical
expertise and curiosity of our people with the voices and insights
of leaders in the fields of national defense, space science and
intelligence technology.
The show is available on Engility.com/GetSET and most popular
podcast platforms and apps, including Apple Podcasts, Google
Podcasts and Spotify.
Get S.E.T.'s hosts (who all have day jobs as Engility employees)
bring a unique voice and natural inquisitiveness into each topic
they explore. They dive into a mix of timely topics. For example,
the first episodes run the gamut in tech-centered current
affairs:
- Why might the latest Martian dust storm affect all future space
exploration?
- Will artificial intelligence advancements really mean robots
will fight our wars?
- What the U.S. space program might look today had JFK lived and
served a second term?
- How do shortages in our cybersecurity workforce exacerbate
threats?
"We challenged our people to think differently, think bigger,
think about how to make a disproportionate impact for our customers
and their missions," said Lynn
Dugle, Engility CEO, Chairman and President. "Our people
came together and combined orthogonal ideas, dedication to mission
and an absolute commitment to creativity and produced this podcast.
It's about inviting all stakeholders—scientists, engineers, and
abstract thinkers—into a dialogue that rejects common assumptions,
disavows traditional barriers and dreams big enough to solve our
customers' most complex challenges. Extraordinary problems
demand exceptional approaches. That's what Get S.E.T is all
about."
Meet Our Hosts
Engility employees Dr. Erin
Macdonald, John Amazigo,
Ian Wandner and Linda Yu host each episode.
"This podcast is a way to look at things a little sideways, with
some entertainment thrown in," said Dr. Macdonald, an
astrophysicist and sci-fi fanatic, "Engineers and technical people
by nature have a precocious way about them – they ask questions
that are a bit off the mainstream. We hope to explore those answers
with like-minded listeners."
Amazigo, a systems architect within the Space and Mission
Systems Group with the voice of a baritone angel, said, "We live in
an exciting and interesting time in human history, so we want to
take a look at new developments in terms of positive impacts."
"When we started the show, we figured it would be a smart
podcast for really smart, inquisitive people. We bring on experts
in their fields and dissect a pressing topic," said Wandner, an
audit specialist with a storied grade-school swimming career.
"That's where we want to go with this—into new areas that can
change perspectives and open up new approaches."
"We'll be talking to scientists, authors, engineers and even
science fiction writers," said Yu, an auditor who grew up in nine
countries. "It's not about a single path to a solution. We hope to
help those in our industry find a community where we ask those
questions that are interesting to us about current events and
debate the answers."

security, space and tech topics from a different perspective can
