Guests:

Allison Sheridan started podcasting in May of 2005, just 7 months after podcasting was invented. At 20 years, her flagship show, the NosillaCast Podcast is the longest-running Apple-centric podcast. In the NosillaCast, she focuses on reviewing tech products with an EVER so slight Apple bias, while weaving accessibility throughout her content.

She also co-hosts the podcast Programming By Stealth where Bart Busschots is teaching the audience to program through an audio podcast (with Bart's tutorial shownotes). Bart and Allison also hosted the podcast Taming the Terminal which is a 40-episode guide to the macOS Terminal which you can also get as an ebook through Apple Books.

She has a tech conversation show called Chit Chat Across the Pond which currently comes out at least once a month with Adam Engst of TidBITS as her guest.

She's a founding speaker at Macstock Conference every year outside of Chicago, and a frequent guest on the Daily Tech News Show, Clockwise, and the SMR Podcast, with appearances on MacBreak Weekly, Cordkillers, Tech's Message, and The Productive Woman Podcast. She is also a video screencast tutor for the subscription service ScreenCastsONLINE. She and her husband Steve produce video interviews from trade shows such as CES and CSUN's Assistive Tech conference.

She's an avid exerciser walking around 7 miles a day and enjoys time with their dog Kepler, and two cats Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper. This is what happens when two engineers marry.
