S4 - Episode 010 – The Making of I AM MACHINE – w/Chris Glanden & Len Noe

Season 4 Episode 10

Description:

In this compelling episode of the Cyber Distortion Podcast, hosts Jason sits down with the extraordinary trio behind the groundbreaking documentary I AM MACHINE — a deep dive into the life and mission of transhuman white hat hacker, Len Noe. Known for merging biology with embedded technology, Len's journey into transhumanism is as provocative as it is visionary. He uses his cybernetic implants not only to push the boundaries of human capability but also as a powerful tool to demonstrate vulnerabilities in both physical and digital security systems. From real-world pen tests to live hacking demos, Len's ethical hacking blurs the line between man and machine — all in the name of education and awareness.

Joining the conversation is director Chris Glanden from Barcode Security, who provides insight into the creative vision behind the documentary and how the concept was brought to life. Kevin, who also served as the film's editor, gets put in the hot seat by Jason to share his unique perspective on shaping the story from raw footage to finished film.

Together, the team explores the challenges, inspirations, and revelations involved in documenting such a futuristic and deeply personal subject. Whether you're fascinated by transhumanism, cybersecurity, or the art of storytelling, this episode unpacks the making of I AM MACHINE from concept to screen — and everything in between.
