#  [ I was the guest for the 100th episode of The PowerShell Podcast!

PowerShell-Podcast/)

__ January 11, 2024  __ 4 minute read

I was recently invited to be a guest on The PowerShell Podcast ( [ Podbean
](https://powershellpodcast.podbean.com/) ) ( [ YouTube playlist
](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1mL90yFExsjUS8DRkzfLUcHds7vlxqgM) )
( [ Apple Podcasts ](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-powershell-
podcast/id1616048196) ). I had a great time talking with [ Andrew Pla
](https://twitter.com/AndrewPlaTech) , and it was a bit surreal as I’ve
listened to every episode. This was my first time on a podcast, and I was very
nervous. You can tell because I was talking very fast, so hopefully I was
still understandable to everyone 😅.

While I didn’t realize it until a few days after recording, I was on the
show’s 100th episode! [ Check out the episode on YouTube here
](https://youtu.be/sBpm_R1MQ38?si=sEduyCx8ONY3NfNC) . That is a huge
accomplishment for the podcast, and I’m honoured to have been a part of it.
Congratulations to Andrew and the rest of the team for reaching this
milestone!

I was a little bummed that I did not get to also meet [ Jordan Hammond
](https://twitter.com/DevOpsJordan) , as he decided to take a break from the
show at the end of 2023. I missed out on meeting him by just a couple
episodes. Even though he stopped just shy of 100 episodes, it is still a great
feat and he should be proud. I hope he returns to the show in the future, even
if only as a guest and to check off the “100 episodes milestone” box 😁.

##  Podcast additions

When writing blog posts and recording videos, I have time to gather my
thoughts and later update any information that I left out. While chatting
live, I don’t have that luxury. After we were done recording I was soon
thinking of all the things that I could have said better, or things that I
left out and should have mentioned.

If I was able to edit the podcast, these are some additional things I would
have mentioned:

###  My [ PowerShell tiPS module
](https://github.com/deadlydog/PowerShell.tiPS)

  * The tip is delivered to your PowerShell terminal. 
  * Provides not only a PowerShell tip, but also: 
    * Example code of what the tip describes. 
    * Links to external sources for more information. 
    * Categorizes the tip (e.g. Performance, Security, Syntax, Terminal, Module, Community, etc.). 

###  Is getting a certification worth it?

  * The exams can be a bit expensive, but often your employer will pay for them if you ask. 
    * If you attend a conference, such as MS Build or Ignite, you can often get a free exam voucher. 
  * Don’t get too discouraged if you have trouble passing the exam. Some people are great at traditional school and taking exams, others are not. If you are someone that struggles with traditional exams, don’t
