  • The Manufacturing Report

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for years and have enjoyed it immensely. As a blue collar worker who has seen the decline of industry over the years and downplaying of the importance of blue collar jobs this podcast gives me hope. Especially like hearing the success stories of companies striving to manufacture in the USA.

  • Lots of Insight

    There's lots of talk out there about bringing back manufacturing jobs but this podcast explains what's actually happening to get the job done. Plus the episodes are usually about ten minutes long so it's a quick (but good) listen.
