I was a guest on a podcast before, but never one with Jeffrey Snover! In this short blog post, I will tell you about the podcast hosted by Heiko Brenn (Thanks again!).
Who is Jeffrey Snover?
Jeffrey Snover was the former Technical Fellow and CTO at Microsoft in many areas, but most importantly… The inventor of PowerShell! Without him and the rest of his team, we wouldn’t have this today 🙂 He explained his vision, the Monad Manifesto, here, and referenced it in the podcast, too!
The podcast
It was recorded today, March 12, 2026, and was hosted by Heiko Brenn (I was a guest on his podcasts in the past, too). Jeffrey and the other guests made it special to be a part of.
Guests (Besides Jeffrey Snover)
Bruce Payette – Lead architect and co-designer of the PowerShell language
Doug Finke – 16-time Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional) specializing in AI, automation, and development, and creator of the ImportExcel module

You can watch it here, enjoy! Great inside stories, views on PowerShell from past to present, and many comments and thank you’s to Jeffrey Snover… And no… He said he was retired, but… A few weeks later, next stop –> Fellow at Harvard 😀
Wrapping up
Hope you enjoyed it, shoutout to Heiko Brenn again for making this all possible, and have a lovely weekend!
