S2 Halloween Special: Taking The Fright Out Of Records Management

In this Halloween episode of The Rest Is Data, host Scott Sabins and guest Emily Overton (RM Girl) tackle why records management gets a bad rap and how it’s really everyday behaviour. They discuss modern challenges—hybrid/digital work, automation, audit needs—and argue for stronger legislation, better regulatory teeth, and the value of a dedicated records manager.

The conversation balances the promise of intelligent automation with the need to win hearts and minds, showing how people, technology and policy together can turn records management from a fright into a practical, vital discipline.
