<![CDATA[The Default Podcast]]>Most Power Platform content is built for makers. This one's for the people keeping the lights on.

The Default Podcast is the show for Power Platform administrators, architects, and governance leads who are building real things at enterprise scale — and dealing with all the complexity that comes with it. We talk governance frameworks, ALM pipelines, Copilot Studio agent deployments, DLP policy headaches, environment strategy, and the decisions that don't show up in Microsoft's documentation.

Hosted by Andrew Gaskins and Akash Patel this podcast exists because the admin community deserves its own space.

Each episode is a practitioner-to-practitioner conversation: the problems we're actually solving, the patterns that work at scale, and the honest take on where the platform is headed. If you've ever inherited an environment tenant and wondered where to start — or if you're the person in your org who gets tagged every time Copilot Studio breaks — you're in the right place.

Subscribe and join the community of admins who are shaping what enterprise Power Platform looks like.
