Some pictures of members may be from past years. Apart from guest co-hosts, hosts or cohosts of our podcasts are members or affiliates of the Accomplished Professors Podcast Group. Though not currrently considering new group members, Accomplished Professors may do so in the future. That would likely first involve appearance on the program as an invited guest. Views at times expressed on the group's podcasts are not necessarily at all times those of all group members or Accomplished Professors Podcast Group as a whole.
