The new podcast, Made in the USA, is unlike anything Modern Machine Shop has done before, in an effort to uncover the hidden history of how manufacturing in the US arrived at its current state and lays out where it can go from here.

“Made in the USA,” is a six-part documentary-style podcast series that strives to uncover the hidden history of how manufacturing in the United States arrived at its current state and lays out where it can go from here. Episode 1 digs into the collapse of manufacturing jobs after the turn of the millennium. Other episodes will explore topics such as the effect of automation on American manufacturing jobs, supply chain strengths and challenges, and how the face of manufacturing is changing as baby boomers retire. The preview trailers (links below) for the show are out now, and the first episode drops on March 16th. New episodes will be released twice a month after that. Read more
