Found in the Machine is a narrative podcast about the forgotten people, decisions, and accidents that quietly shaped the digital world.
If you've ever wondered who actually made the technology you use every day, and why you've never heard their name before, you'll feel at home here. This show is for the curious, not the credentialed. You don't need a technical background to follow along. You just need to be the kind of person who pulls on threads.
New episodes unearth human stories from computing history every other week.
