Best content in one place

On this date,I've listened to 156 days 13 hours of podcasts, and this was the first technical podcast I subscribed to. Well done, smart, clever, and funny. I hope this helps to promote your podcast and brings in new listeners. Mat Somers Ponte Vedra Beach Florida, USA

If you want to learn more about the exciting world of cloud computing. . . fast-forward at least to the 12-15 minute mark of each of these podcasts, since this show's hosts waste ages and ages catching each other up on what they had for dinner the previous evening. This regular side-tracking delays any discussion of DevOps, cloud computing, hybrid- and multi-cloud architectures, new Azure capabilities, cloud security, identity and access mangement, cloud-bursting, or anything else you might want to learn about having to do with the cloud, since (apparently) they want to pretend to be Gareth Mitchell and Bill Thompson. But those pros over at the BBC only banter for maybe one or two minutes before each podcast, not for 10 minutes or longer. Respectfully, how about adding some relevant, useful information for the first 25% of each podcast, guys? Really.

I listen regularly to the show as AC & CJ always have all the latest cloud news all summed up for me and really interesting great guests who are experts on topics I'm interested in. Overall, awesome show!

CJ & AC do a great show, more often than not after the show I have a nugget of info or more to pass on which makes me look smart! If you are interested in the cloud or working in it this is the weekly show that pulls a bunch of into together in a great way. Keep it up lads

Great stuff

AC and CJ continually deliver great content. The format of the show keeps it moving and interesting. If you subscribe to any cloud services you'll benefit from the knowledge they share.

Been a long time listener and friend and honored to provide the shows new theme music!

I just heard about this on the Office 365 Developer podcast. I plan to binge listen to 20 hours this weekend. I hope to listen to all the past episodes before the start of September. I think the series is great. I heard Andrew inAtlanta at SharePoint Saturday. I used to buy his books, but there does not seem to be as many technology books anymore. I guess Borders and Barnes and Noble were so 90's and 2000's.

If you're in the cloud space and are more of a developer this podcast is for you. Not a lot of content for infrastructure folks.

I found this podcast a few weeks a go and it has become one of my must listen to podcast. Great way to keep up with the ever changing and evolving MS Cloud. (Apple please don't make me enter this review a fourth time because you are too lazy to check my nickname before letting me type and then loose everything.) (4th time)

AC and CJ are two great guys that bring Cloud news to me when I need it.

One of my favorite and must listen to podcasts, this is the best way to stay up to date on everything cloud. The info is great and the banter is even better. Met them both in person, they are hilarious. Make time for this podcast and cut down having to read a ton of RSS feeds. Great work guys! - @timferro

AC and CJ do a great job of getting out the relevant info and announcements from the never ending cloudy, but bright sky. By including news from other cloud platforms, this podcast is great to get a 30-45 minute forecast weekly. Thank you and keep up the good work guys!

Hello. I'm probably one of your most unusual or perhaps unexpected followers - a doc (though admittedly a slightly nerdy one). I came across your show trying to familiarize myself with what's going on with O365 and other cloud software / platform progression strategies and how it can affect my business (which is a Hospice organization, I'm the Chief Medical Officer). I'm not sure how in tune with this most developers are, but the medical industry is in desperation for a revolution toward something resembling a functional data interoperability structure, and despite how it may seem externally with recent efforts, those efforts are in many ways a relative failure (we mostly have EMR’s, but mostly bad ones – is that really progress?). I'm also not sure how aware most are of what a sad state the level of sophistication of the average Electronic Medical Record software platform is in in this country. The bigger the EMR vendor the more likely they are using 20-30 year old architectures "under the hood" with terrible data silo issues and any "discrete" data entry is basically completely on the back of the clinical users to serve it up on a silver platter to the EMR so that it can process it in a useful way. This is literally killing our productivity as docs. Without a doubt, our only hope of getting "good" data, big data, and most importantly inter-operable and useful data we can use to modernize the health industry is this revolution to the cloud for apps and core IT infrastructure and eventually the Personal Health Information (patient) data content as well. It levels the playing field and scales the entry fee appropriately for say a small hospice organization like mine compared to large hospital networks, etc. And importantly, it gives us equal access to latest & Greatest database and computing tools architectures and processes. Key to success is for medicine to develop common platforms, common interoperable data standards, and perhaps most importantly an agreement on just common data elements so medical data in one EMR can truly move from that EMR deep into a useful format in the next that is commonly understood. So I was interested in your Geek-out on Node.js and the (rather odd but interesting) relevance it has to my plight with the discussions that you have like those discussing the convergence across platforms and OS's now that you all in the developer world are realizing is so advantageous in the cloud. Medicine needs to go through the same revolution so that all EMR’s speak the same language and can interoperate in an HTML-like way. O365 looks like it can be a big helper in that space as well - for instance I just recognized that I'm now able to use Moodle and a new O365 Powerpoint plugin to essentially replace what we're paying $8k/yr for, and in addition we can of course develop our own educational content in Powerpoint and with a single click I can have that served up and essentially in LMS format. That's POWERFUL leverage for small companies. We can use this and serve up Mayo clinic style streaming educational content to our patients without hiring expensive developers and content hosters (no offense !) that we can’t afford. So as far as podcast topics, I'm in favor of any topics you choose that help us conceptualize how coding platforms and infrastructure platforms and SaaS / PaaS industry progression applies across industries. This show has been very helpful information for even a non-coder like me understand and get a sense of where we are all headed. It's amazing at how much of my time I've spent trying to translate between medical folks and IT folks and coders over the years, to essentially just get them to conceptualize what O365 is doing to that platform - each side has been (in often futile ways) for years trying to interact and develop software and infrastructure to support what medicine needs. I think with what I see in the revolution into the cloud technologies, the tools may finally fit the needs. Anyway, I’m a big fan of the show, the content, and particularly your style of speech and interaction and how you manage to put in just enough contextual explanation to keep someone like me in the conversation and make it entertaining at the same time. Perhaps my commentary can be validation to guys like you for how important work like yours is, and that it's not just about cool bells and whistles for MS Office software, but it's really about building the infrastructure and platforms that will be the future of our business world that takes the practical application of important yet ailing industries like mine to the next level.

Andrew and Chris are a pleasure to listen to and offer great (and current) perspective on all things cloud. They’re always up to speed on what is going on with Azure, AWS and Google. Definitely check out some of the Azure training on Microsoft Virtual Academy and watch the datacenter videos on YouTube. If you’re still interested in learning more you can check out Azure Fridays or Scott Guthrie’s blog. Otherwise…if you only have minimal time or can listen to something during a commute…this is your podcast!!!

A consistenly up to date and informative podcast on Azure, Office 365 and many of the rapidly changing technologies coming out of Microsoft. The podcast is hosted by the polished, brilliant Australian, Chris Johnson, who selflessly shares his infinite years of wisdom working with Microsoft technologies with listeners. There is also a fellow named Andrew who pitches in here and there :). A great podcast to add to your playlist.

Best way to stay up to date on the latest cloud news across the various cloud platforms. I don’t have a lot of time to read up on all the latest news and this podcast is a great way to get an overview of the latest news and updates and then read about aspects I want to dig into deeper. Very educational and filled with lots of entertainment and humor. Keep up the great work guys!

I love the work that AC and CJ are doing with this podcast. The content is refreshingly current.

It's been amazing listening these podcasts usually releases once a week. Extremely relevant in Microsoft cloud technologies primarily focused on Office 365, Azure, and SharePoint space. My favorite part about these podcasts are AC & CJ themselves. They span both consumer and Microsoft point of view, they both are highly opinioned with very effective balanced view. If you are interested in knowing stuff about MS cloud technologies, what better place than both AC & CJ do research for you. Great stuff!!!!

I love the scope, breadth and knowledge these guys bring to a constantly evolving and complex industry. They always put 110% into the episodes and deliver them on a consistent basis, which is no small task for guys with busy day jobs.

This is one of the best podcast I have heard. I can even say the best. The show is very informative, useful, and interesting. It covers so much latest information. So far it is very consistent on the quality and content. Keep up the Great Job and Thanks for the show.

AC and CJ are two very well respected guys in the Microsoft world. Go to any Microsoft Conference and these two guys are everywhere. Always engaging to listen to and you're guaranteed to learn something in their sessions. This podcast is just a logical extension of these guys sharing their expertise. Love the format, and the fact they summarize all cloud news, not just Microsoft's. Appreciate these guys are open and honest, and not toting the Microsoft corporate line. Thanks for keeping us up to date, so we do our day jobs. For your "Ask Us Anything " question: If SharePoint never existed, what would you be doing today?

Great content and very relevant info on cloud technology. AC & CJ provide great consumable and current content. Only downside is I wish they did even more recordings!!

It's been a long time since I listened to a podcast. There was a time when I listened to some frequently but I haven't for the past few years. The Microsoft Cloud Show may get me back in the habit. Andrew and Chris, besides being two of the nicest people I know, are very smart and great communicators. The show is slanted towards Microsoft but that should be obvious from the title. There is more SharePoint in the show than you might expect from the title but I actually like that as I specialize in SharePoint, too. There is a lot of news in this space. This show can help you keep up with it in a no nonsense to the point summary of recent happenings.

I'm not much of a podcast listener, but with Andrew and Chris at the helm this podcast is one you don't want to miss. Sure, I've been a guest on the show, but that doesn't bias me. AC and Chris are two of the most knowledgeable people out there about Microsoft in general, and the MS cloud offerings specifically. Each episode has tidbits you won't get anywhere else. Give it a listen and you'll agree with me, I'm sure.

One of the best podcasts on info about Azure, SharePoint, 365, etc. Andrew is one of the smartest SharePoint devs out there (his videos on Plural Site are great!) - and Chris does awesome work when he is on the Microsoft Virtual Academy. If you only have time in the week for a couple MS podcast - this is one of the better ones to put in your list.

This podcast is one of those right place / right time finds. If you (like me) are heavily invested in Microsoft technology and you realize the growing importance of the cloud, this show will help answer many of the questions you face when considering Microsoft’s many cloud offerings. The info on Office365 and Azure is helpful - not just for insight into those products, but to better understand the marketplace as a whole. Great job, guys.
