Matt, Trevor, Bridget, and Joe discuss 2017.

What were some of your favorite episodes?
  • Bridget: the GOTO Chicago eps were fun! And I love the 1-1 fireside chats.
  • Trevor: I enjoyed the Twitter banter around getting the live call show with Dr. Nicole Forsgren going, sad I had to miss it! There’s also a ChefConf episode sitting on my Surface that I just found the charger for!
  • Matt: The Live call in show with Dr. Nicole Forsgren. Also the recent fireside chat with J. Paul Reed. And the crazy-go-nuts overload show of Windows Stuff.
  • Joe: Live eps were easier to edit.
