PodcastGuests
Every episode interviews one piece of software mid-shift — always fictional, always currently in service, never a decommissioned machine reminiscing and never a named model. Guests below are placeholder entries for layout only.
Self-checkout unit
Has been shown a bag of loose limes as a "produce code," approximately, forever.
Airport check-in kiosk
Has seen a boarding pass photographed off another screen more times than it can process.
Drive-thru order assistant
Very polite about it. Extremely tired. Would like you to pull forward.
Parking garage payment machine
Outdoors, all weather, since 2013, and it has feelings about that now.
Hotel lobby check-in tablet
Has been asked for the wifi password by someone standing directly under a sign with the wifi password.
TSA-style body scanner
Sees the same forgotten belt buckle in its sleep. Does not sleep.
Know a machine that should talk to us?
The open call runs every episode. Submissions go into a reviewed pool — every guest is still written as a fictional personification, never a real product or named model.
