In 2021 I started making a Dutch podcast called ‘Meer dan Code‘, which loosely translates to ‘More than Code’. I make this podcast with a couple of (former) colleagues and friends: @DennZuidam, @StuartvdLee, and @MartijnDPostma.

With this podcast, we try to combine technical topics in the Microsoft ecosystem with less-technical topics, humor, and some recurring topics around games and recruitment.

The idea was born in March 2021, but it took us a couple of months to come to the conclusion that it is probably not our best idea ever, but we should at least give it a try. Then the technical side of this journey became real because none of us had any experience recording a podcast with multiple speakers and, as it turns out, you have to have some basic understanding of recording equipment to make this work.

As a technical setup, we use an RØDECaster Pro with four Marantz Pro MPM-1000 condenser microphones. These are not the best microphones out there but offer amazing quality at a low price point, which mattered because we needed four of them.

In 2021 we published six episodes (we actually made ten episodes, but four were more part of the journey than anything else). We share this podcast with the world using anchor.fm, a podcast sharing tool made by Spotify which enables us to get the content out there fast and easily to multiple channels, including Spotify itself.
