Microsoft 365 is evolving so fast that I, for one, need an overview resource like the Intrazone podcast just to keep up. Thank you.
Great to have a SharePoint devoted podcast!

I listen to podcasts while working in the garage and in the yard, while commuting, in waiting rooms, ... I have a lot more time when I can listen than when I can watch videos or read. I've made people chuckle in my desire to get more SharePoint content just via audio (which also takes up less storage space). Like J. May said in April, I hope to see (and hear!) deeper dives. Even if it was just audio of some of the written material, the more I can get, the better. Thanks for doing this!
