Guest Bio and links: 

Meet Andrew, aka 'The Script Specter', and Jordan, known to his fans as 'The Command Crusader'. Together, they form the dynamic duo of PowerShell, turning ordinary coding scenarios into extraordinary feats of tech heroism.
Andrew, with his uncanny ability to manipulate the spectral realm of scripts, can create code so clean, so robust, and so failsafe that it's almost an epic poem in PowerShell language. He has singlehandedly bested numerous system complications with just a flick of his fingers and a well-phrased one-liner. When he's not saving the day with his scripting prowess, he's often found rescuing kittens from elaborate 'syntax trees'.

Jordan, the Command Crusader, harnesses the sheer power of PowerShell commands, turning them into tools for justice, efficiency, and good 'runtime.' He could solve a server crisis before his morning coffee gets cold. His uncanny knack for error handling is legendary, often ultimately resulting in error villains voluntarily turning themselves in. In his downtime, Jordan is known to command dance-offs with undeniable grooves that could only be defined as 'syntax error-free'.
These superheroes of the scripting realm are not just hosts of the PowerShell Podcast but also beacons of code-based justice, humor, prowess, and a whole lot of fun. With Andrew and Jordan on duty, the thriving PowerShell city can sleep safely, knowing it's protected by the best programmatic superheroes on this side of the compiler!
