The Virtual GM Podcast hosts Cody and Megan Aydent use this slot to announce a production pause while they enjoy the final weeks of summer with their families. Rather than deliver content, they preview the return of Season 4 on September 3rd and hint at upcoming guest appearances and milestone coverage as the show approaches its 200th episode. The hosts also leverage the airtime to promote the Independent Hospitality Show happening September 16th in Miami Beach at the Miami Convention Center, offering listeners a discount code (Cody26) that covers admission. For hotel owners and GMs tuning in expecting fresh strategies, this serves as a checkpoint and reminder to mark calendars for the next substantive episode.
The podcast returns on Thursday, September 3rd with Season 4, Episode 1.
Promo code Cody26 covers the cost of admission to the Independent Hospitality Show on September 16th in Miami Beach.
