As I am a regular listener of the The Azure Podcast. I was a bit surprised to see the title of the latest episode: Episode 521 – The Final Episode. That sounds like final, final – like as if it wouldn’t be continued?
And indeed! 🙁
In this special final episode of the Azure Podcast, hosts Cale, Evan, Sujit, Russell, Cynthia, and Kendall come together to reflect on the incredible journey of the podcast over the past 12 years. They share personal anecdotes, discuss the evolution of Azure services, and reminisce about the early days of podcasting.
In a LinkedIn comment, the host Sujit D’Mello writes:
When we started, there were no podcasts for Azure […]. Now, there are many podcasts available that cover various aspects of Azure, so the co-hosts felt the time had come to turn off the microphones and channel our passion for Azure in other ways.
So why do I blog about the end of a podcast? First of all, I find it pretty impressive to run a podcast over 521 episodes and 12 years! This shows quite some dedication for their topic! I also found it entertaining to listen to their stories. But I also pay the respect for their decision to finally switch off thei microphones – despite the fact that I maybe have to look for an alternative.
Just too bad, that all the (co)hosts aren’t on the fediverse to follow.
