About the show

Scott and Ben are both IT Pros that have a long history with Microsoft products, including the Microsoft Cloud. Recently Ben focuses primarily on Microsoft 365 but does a fair amount in Azure, and Scott spends most of his time in Azure, but with a history in SharePoint and Microsoft 365 still enjoys that side of things as well. We started the Microsoft Cloud Podcast over 6 years ago and continue to enjoy chatting weekly about various topics in Microsoft 365 and Azure, specifically as it relates to IT Pros. They’ve also started a partner YouTube channel “Two the Cloud”. If you’re looking for a Microsoft 365 podcast or an Azure podcast, you found the right one!
