In the first-ever episode, we break down who the hosts are and why we started this podcast. Getting that crap out of the way, we get to talk about PowerShell! We cover Kevin Marquette’s “Everything you want to know about” series, focusing on psobjects that we both have used to help our writing. We take a look at the module PsWordle and discover Jordan accidentally learned something. Josh King announced he has done a preview release of Burnt Toast and is looking for people to help him test, as well as join in the discussion on what could be next. Finally, we talk about why $null should be on the left side for comparisons in your scripts.

About the Authors
Andrew Pla
PowerShell MVP, podcast host, and Community Director of PowerShell Summit
I’m a technical educator and community builder. I’m a Microsoft PowerShell MVP, podcast host, speaker, and Community Director of PowerShell Summit. I also work at PDQ alongside sysadmins and IT pros every day.
Community isn’t just what I do. It’s where I get my energy. I genuinely light up when I see someone land a new job, level up a skill, or show up to their first conference. I love sharing that passion with others.
Every week I host a live podcast and stream on YouTube covering PowerShell, automation, and the humans behind the keyboards.
If you’re on your IT journey and need someone in your corner, you’re in the right place. Find more at andrewpla.tech/links.
