CollabTalk Podcast | Episode 93 with Sean McDonough and Geoff Varosky

 

For Episode 93 of the CollabTalk Podcast, we explore the late summer news, with the conversation focused on Microsoft’s Copilot copyright protections, the just-as-exciting-as-it-sounds Python in Excel, and the highly anticipated Starfield game from Bethesda Games. This is part of a monthly feature on the podcast with Sean and Geoff where we’ll cover the latest product announcements, major Message Center updates that you need to know about, and community news from around the world. You can listen to the podcast above and follow me using your favorite app, such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Soundcloud, or the iHeartRadio app. Be sure to subscribe!
