Show
Hosts
Steve Scott (Scotty) does the easy bit and hosts the Mac Developer Network shows. Scotty has been a developer since 1987 but only moved to the Mac in 2006. In his frustration at learning Cocoa he started the Late Night Cocoa podcast in January 2007 as a thinly veiled disguise for getting some free Cocoa advice from some top Mac Developers. In late 2007 Scotty started the other MDN shows and brought them all together under the Mac Developer Network banner.
Scotty does do some real development now and again as the owner , principle developer and sole employee of Mamooba.

Post Production Team
Andy Burson is Managing Director of Hit Internet, a web development company based in Auckland New Zealand.
His first job was in radio writing/producing/voicing ads for The Radio Network, the largest radio company in NZ. He had a bit of success, winning a handful of international awards.
Andy left radio to work for a small advertising agency where he was doing a bit of everything; creative/design/account management etc. His first programming experience was writing an internal database application to manage jobs, quoting and invoicing. Over the years the agency had attracted a few web clients that it handled in-house with one or two developers.
Hit Internet was set up to take over the web/multimedia side of the business and make it a 'proper' web company. Hit works with a number of large clients based in NZ and Sydney developing medium-sized custom solutions.
Personally, Andy is just getting his teeth into Cocoa programming after 'meaning to get round to it' for a year or two now. He is currently working on his first iPhone application.
Andy does post production editing on a number of Mac Developer Network podcasts and created the titles for The Mac Developer Network Training courses and Xcode Quick Tips
Andrew Nixon, works full time in medical physics and computer science at a hospital in Birmingham (UK). Andy is a hobbyist OS X programmer who also plays guitar in a local soul band (bookings available upon request) recording and producing music on his MacBook. Andy has only been using cocoa for about a year and been on a Mac for 18 months.
