# GCP Podcast - Author: Melanie Warrick (nyghtowl) - URL: https://nyghtowl.com/gcp/ - Published: 2018-12-31 - Site index for agents: https://nyghtowl.com/llms.txt In 2018, I co-hosted the [Google Cloud Platform Podcast](https://www.gcppodcast.com/) with [Mark Mandel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marksmandel/), contributing to nearly 60 episodes of the show he originally launched with [Francesc Campoy Flores](https://www.linkedin.com/in/campoy/). Together, we explored everything from AI and machine learning to developer tools and customer stories. Looking back on that experience, I wrote [Stop Accepting Less than Equal](https://nyghtowl.com/posts/2019/01/stop-accepting-less-than-equal/) - a retrospective on my intentional approach to featuring diverse voices and perspectives throughout our podcast episodes. | Episode | Title | Description | Categories | |----------:|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 93 | [What's AI with Melanie Warrick](https://www.gcppodcast.com/post/episode-93-whats-ai-with-melanie-warrick/) | What is the difference between AI and ML?
