Our Mission
Every AI podcast sounds the same. We built something different.
The AI conversation is dominated by hype cycles, celebrity founders, and academic abstractions. None of it helps the engineer deciding whether to deploy an LLM in production. None of it helps the manager wondering what to tell her team.
Martin Miller and John Sukup are working practitioners — not commentators. They've built AI systems, led technical teams, and lived through the disruption they discuss. Unriveted exists to bridge the gap between deep technical understanding and its real human consequences.
The result is something rare: a show that earns the trust of engineers and executives alike — because it never talks down to either.
"We don't cover AI. We live inside it — and then we talk honestly about what we find."
