Are [here](http://www.yellowpark.net/cdalby/index.php/2007/07/20/episode-4-of-the-yellow-park-podcast-out-now/) (apologies for the MP3, text compression bigots). The YellowPark podcasts promise to be pretty interesting for those with a Microsoft bent. Chris Dalby, the host, is a Microsoft reseller so he has that practitioner thing going on, but he’s not afraid to adopt open source technologies [where they are more effective](http://www.yellowpark.net/cdalby/index.php/2007/05/06/wordpress-beats-community-server/). So he is a Windows-oriented pragmatist. Areas of specialism are Microsoft SBS, Office Communications Server, and Microsoft Exchange. If I were WaggenerEdstrom I would keep an eye on him as a channel for technical discussions with product managers.

disclosure: Chris is a really good friend of mine.
