I started listening to Windows Weekly years ago when I worked in retail selling Windows devices. This show helped me understand what Microsoft was working on, and it helped me talk to customers that were confused or frustrated with changes that were happening in Windows. I no longer work in retail, but I still listen because I enjoy the discussions between Paul and Richard. They also bring up a wide range of Windows-adjacent discussions as well that help keep me informed regarding Windows and things that may or may not affect it. The picks of the week alone are great and have helped introduce me to a new piece of software or tool that I use on a regular basis now.

I’m an IT professional and always want to know what’s going on with Microsoft. I could read a bunch of articles, but I’d rather be entertained and get the scoop from people who know what’s going on. I’ve been watching Windows weekly for over 10 years. With the mix of backgrounds that Leo, Paul, and Richard have, I know all sides of any issue will be thought of. I also enjoy the casual, comical interplay between the hosts. The show feels more like they’re just having fun chitchatting versus doing work putting on a show. In my job, I develop business facing web applications and support customers using Windows computers. I use the show to help me be informed about changes in Microsoft platforms and be able to support my customers. The whiskey segments and former host Mary Joe’s beer pic of the week are just bonuses.

Some podcasts are enjoyable just because the hosts are enjoyable to listen to. Windows Weekly is refreshingly light on politics and easy to listen to. I really appreciate how long they’ve kept this thing going and how much quality vibe-time they provide on a weekly basis.
