Power Platform news with practical static.

The gist

Power Platform Boost Podcast follows Power Platform updates, release plans, AI tooling, Power Pages, and community chatter with a loose two-person rhythm. It is technical, chatty, and usefully skeptical about what actually works once features leave the announcement slide.

About Power Platform Boost Podcast

Power Platform Boost Podcast is a working-room conversation about Microsoft Power Platform news, community events, and the daily realities of building business apps. It is not polished corporate narration. The show has the feel of two practitioners comparing notes after a session, complete with travel delays, sick kids, lost voices, weather, competitions, jokes, and the occasional detour that circles back to the technical point. That looseness is part of the value. Episodes translate release plans and product announcements into the questions makers actually ask once they try to use the thing. Power Pages, Power Apps, code apps, AI tools, generative pages, Dataverse security, and preview features all show up as practical problems rather than abstract roadmap items. The show is openly excited about AI-assisted building, but it does not treat AI as magic. It asks where human judgment still belongs. It distinguishes playful experimentation from enterprise-ready implementation. It also spends real time on the less glamorous blockers: regional availability, unclear pricing, unsupported workarounds, governance, prompt injection, and security boundaries that sound reassuring until someone has to defend them. The hosts can get animated about a major shift in maker tooling. They can also get just as animated about copy-paste themes, skip-cache parameters, or small improvements that remove everyday friction. That balance makes the show useful for people who already live near the Microsoft ecosystem. It assumes some familiarity with the product names, but it does not assume every listener has read every release note. The community thread matters too. MVP renewals, workshops, Microsoft campus recordings, ColorCloud mentions, and shout-outs to people helping behind the scenes give the show a sense of place. The result is both news briefing and hallway conversation. It is best for makers, consultants, solution architects, and Power Platform regulars who want product context with jokes, caveats, and honest practical pressure. The show’s strongest episodes make Microsoft announcements feel less like bullet points and more like decisions someone will have to make on a real project next week.

Made for: For Power Platform makers, consultants, solution architects, and Microsoft business-apps regulars who want product updates tied to actual implementation tradeoffs. It especially suits listeners who already know the ecosystem names and want candid context around them.

What sets it apart: The show pairs community banter with unusually practical interpretation of Microsoft announcements. It treats AI and Power Platform changes as things teams must govern, support, and rebuild properly, not just features to admire.

Best episodes of Power Platform Boost Podcast

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

Travelling Circus (#82)Mar 25, 2026

A rough live episode that makes CoWork's file-based memory feel practical.

Power Platform Boost takes on a live recording from Microsoft campus DevRel Studios, with Nick Dolman and Ulrike Ackerbeck sounding understandably rough while Nick does most of the talking.

Power Platform 2026 Release Wave 1 (#81)Mar 18, 2026

A grounded release-plan walkthrough with useful Power Pages context and a few implementation cautions.

Microsoft's 2026 release wave one gets a plainspoken tour here, and the strongest material is around Power Pages, security, and AI-assisted building.

Everyone's doing it (#80)Mar 11, 2026

A practical reminder that experimentation and production are not the same thing.

The episode draws a clear line between experimenting with AI-assisted code apps and building for production. Nick Dolman and Ulrike Ackerbeck talk through code apps, vibe.powerhouse.com, and the split between a playful workflow and the more disciplined rebuild that comes after.

With Great Power comes Great Responsibility (#79)Feb 25, 2026

Small Power Platform wins matter more than the AI fireworks.

Power Platform Boost spends most of its time on the gap between headline AI and the smaller fixes that still make makers happy. Nick Dolman and Lidika Akebek make that contrast easy to follow: the community can shrug at a model driven app built from scratch, then get genuinely…
