This podcast is presented by Marijn and Steve; two experienced Microsoft 365 and SharePoint consultants. In each podcast you will get a smile or two with a chunk of interesting and practical help in Microsoft 365. Then you get introduced you to what we hope is a Whisky you have not tasted before.
Ducktails - woohoo!! The boys are talking about the random spawning of ducks in Steve's house, conference travel, new website url's they bought and Steve's changing jobs. The whisky of the episode? The Ledaig Castaway - which turns out to be superb!
Marijn got fanmail, a user that had a real usecase and was looking how to tackle a problem. So the boys become cunts - I mean consultants and do some live consultancy!
The boys start off with an AI created intro, Marijn gets winded up about the use of "and honestly" he sees everywhere, Steve talks about lady gardens, but they are interrupted by a ruckus on the street. Thank goodness there is a Danish Dirty Bastard!
The boys have a whisky-infused talk about AI use cases, share fun stories and have 4 different English whiskies throughout the episode.
Marijn came back from MVP Summit in Seattle, but can't say anything, because NDA! The topic changes in what AI can do for you, and why people are the secret ingredient for AI success! They end with an American whisky "Straight Triticale Distillarium".
On this special day of the day, when we celebrate Saint Paddy, the boys taste 4 whiskies while they work out how to measure collaboration.
Happy Birthday to 25 year SharePoint! The boys reminisce and share war stories. They end with an amazing smoky dram.
In this episode of Microsoft 365 Distilled, the boys celebrate Burns Night in true Scottish fashion: with tartan‑level enthusiasm and a whisky that would make even the Bard raise an approving eyebrow. They go hunting for insights in places no one has ever thought to look. The mission? To see whether the timeless wisdom of Burns, actual old-school poetry can shed new light on the ever evolving universe of Microsoft 365. And to everyone’s surprise (including their own), it absolutely does. Expect hilarious interpretations, dramatic readings, suspicious Scottish accents, and philosophical detours that somehow make perfect sense. Along the way, they uncover governance lessons hiding between the verses, collaboration metaphors tucked into the stanzas, and even a few productivity tips disguised as 18th-century poetic flair. It’s part whisky tasting, part literary adventure, part tech nerd‑fest—and 100% Distilled chaos in the best possible way. So pour yourself a dram, warm up your best “Auld Lang Syne,” and join the boys as they celebrate tradition, toast the future, and prove once again that wisdom, like whisky, only gets better with age.
Happy new year everyone! The boys are back and making plans for fun events this year. Marijn hates the fact that Steve is now higher up the CommunityDays speaker board list than Marijn. They reminisce about past events and eventually get on topic: AI doesn't care if your sites are pretty. So how much work do you need to put in to make SharePoint "pretty" for AI (AKA readable)? So what is the ratio for human eyeballs vs AI? The boys finish off with a superb Danish whisky, Skippers Glow, kindly donated by friend-of-the-podcast Kasper Larsen. It all started with this post from Daniel Anderson: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/danielando_sharepoint-in-2026-activity-7410921384069017600-m52B/
The boys discover Jura and their wheel to describe the full range of whiskies. They compare it with different SharePoint elements, techniques and ingredients to put in the cauldron and to make new potions!
