  • Too many interruptions by host

    Some tell that John guy to shut up. Constantly talking and interrupting people. So annoying and inappropriate

  • Entertaining and Informative

    I stumbled across this podcast about a month and a half ago. Since then I have listened to almost every episode and repeated a few. I am preparing for VCP certification and some of the episode have been a tremendous help with that endeavor.

  • Elevated discourse

    I enjoy this podcast. It has the usual cast of characters/guests doing the rounds on these enterprise tech podcasts from NetApp Communities (now Tech ONTAP), Geek Whisperers, Speaking in Tech, et al. The hosts and guests get to build their careers and I get to learn from them because they love to talk and share. More importantly, Virtually Speaking has clean language, and a more elevated discourse, which only adds credence to the discussion and content. Keep up the good work, Pete.
