By Mark Mandel and Francesc Campoy Flores, Developer Advocates
It was 2015, and we were having coffee in a Google cafeteria when we, Francesc and Mark, came up with the idea for the Google Cloud Platform Podcast. Shortly thereafter, the first episode “We Got a Podcast” was released on the internet. And now, after years of interviewing Google Cloud Platform (GCP) customers, product managers, engineers, developer experts, salespeople, support staff and more, we’ve released our 100th episode!
To celebrate this milestone, we invited as our guest the venerable Vint Cerf, who’s one of the “Fathers of the Internet,” having co-designed the TCP/IP protocols and the architecture of the internet, and who is currently vice president and Chief Internet Evangelist at Google. We talked to him about the history of the internet, net neutrality, the next billion users, interplanetary networks and more. His interview is totally amazing and you should definitely listen to it.
It also got us thinking about all the other amazing interviews we’ve done over the years. If you aren’t familiar with the Google Cloud Platform Podcast — or if you just want to relive the glory — here are the top 10 most downloaded episodes since it was introduced:

Lastly, the Google Cloud Platform Podcast would like to say thank you to all you listeners that have downloaded the podcast, the interviewees that gave us their time and all the people behind the scenes that helped edit, promote, procure equipment and more. Without all of you, the 100th episode would never have been possible.
