Episode 1 of this podcast was published on April 20, 2017. We’ve been recording and publishing weekly for almost 5 years. In that time, we’ve had the opportunity to talk to you about everything from Office 365 (when it was still called that) to Azure IaaS and PaaS services. Our focus has always been on the Microsoft cloud and providing you with news, tips, tricks, and deep dives on how you can leverage these technologies in your professions.

Your feedback to us over the years has been invaluable in shaping the show and the types of content we deliver. Please keep it coming. You can connect with us on Discord (sign up for the newsletter to find out how!), Twitter, Facebook, and of course follow along in your podcatcher of choice.

With all that being said, in Episode 261, Ben and Scott take a break from tech and talk about some of their favorite non-tech related finds from the past year, including books, TV shows, outdoor activities around the holidays, and some resources for great recipes. We hope you have a chance to disconnect and relax as we head into 2022.
