Found in the Machine
Every line of code has a story. Most of us just never hear it.
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.

I want to share a quick update. The show has a new name. Starting today, Lore in the Machine is now Found in the Machine. Same show, same stories. Just a new name and a new home at foundinthemachine.com.
But why the change? "Found" is actually a better description of what this show does. These are stories that got lost somewhere in the history of computing. Finding them is the whole point. The name finally says that out loud.
