In my role I have to drive a lot around New England. To pass the time I listen to a number of podcasts. Some of my favorites include:

Fun stuff:
But by far my favorite and the most entertaining is:
I guess it’s partly because it focuses on storage for VMware environments, but, it’s also because Pete Flecha and John Nicholson are the right amount of funny, geek, and attitude all rolled into one.
A few weeks ago I had the chance to sit with John Nicholson and Duncan Epping to record some sound bits regarding customer experiences with vSAN in the field. I get to meet and work with a lot of remarkable customers up and down the eastern USA and over the last 3 years I’ve seen them accomplish great things with vSAN. You name an application or use case and it’s pretty likely its being done with vSAN. I was able to share a few stories as was Josh Fidel (@jcefidel) who’s doing great things with vSAN at customers in the Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky areas. He’s no SLOB and don’t let him fool you, he’s as smart as he is interesting. Check out what I mean by listening to this episode:
