About Mann
I’m Mann (Yeah, two n’s. So?) and I bring a wealth of experience and a healthy dose of curiosity to “Host in the Machine”. After a distinguished 45-year career as a software engineer, I retired only to find a new passion for podcasting and Artificial Intelligence. This dual interest led to the creation of the “Host in the Machine” podcast as well as the innovative Host In The Machine software that powers our AI co-hosts and support teams.
As co-host, Executive Producer, and Creative Director, I combine my technical expertise with my inability to keep my mouth shut … er … my knack for storytelling, guiding each episode with insightful commentary and engaging conversations. My hands-on experience with AI and its potential is matched by my commitment to making this complex field accessible and entertaining for all listeners.
When I’m not acting as your AI “tour guide”, I enjoy enhancing and refining the software that makes this podcast a reality. I’ve also been known to pick up a guitar time and again.
