Podcasts about Industrial

Lern just got back from seeing Nine Inch Nails and apparently the lighting design deserves its own Grammy. We're talking gauze curtains, delayed shadows, industrial rave vibes, and Trent Reznor absolutely refusing to high-five Tim like a majestic goth gazelle sprinting through the crowd. It's concert chaos in the best possible way — from the DJ opener bleeding seamlessly into the show, to the setlist swaps that made the St. Louis crowd feel personally chosen.We break down the Peel It Back tour experience, including the “Frail into Reptile” moment that sent fans spiraling (in a good way), the zippers-per-capita record inside Enterprise Center, and the emotional high of being in the same airspace as your music heroes. Remember when just being in the same room as your favorite artist felt life-changing? Yeah, we went there. Hard.But because this is a comedy podcast and we cannot stay focused for more than 12 consecutive minutes, the conversation pivots into something much more responsible: inflation rage. Concert tickets, movie theaters, $15 waters, delivery apps, streaming services we barely use but refuse to cancel, and the emotional damage of a $12 Lion's Choice meal. Are we becoming our parents? Possibly. Are we mad about it? Absolutely.Then we spiral (again) into hypothetical chaos:$10 million but you lose 10 years of life?$50 million but you lose all your friends?$1 million but you're stuck in St. Louis forever?$500,000 but you can't complain for five years (so… impossible)?The answers are revealing. And slightly concerning.We also dive into the so-called “singles tax,” the surprising numbers behind OnlyFans income (sorry Scott), and the underdog effect — why being told you'll fail might actually be rocket fuel. It's part concert recap, part financial therapy session, part existential crisis — aka your favorite comedy podcast doing what it does best.Industrial rock. Inflation anger. Hypothetical moral collapse. Curtain work.Just another totally normal day.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This Daily Habit Flushes Dangerous Fat in Days In this episode, Ben breaks down how your morning routine could be causing you to recycle inflammatory fat instead of eliminating it. Key Highlights: Your liver packages inflammatory fats and toxins into bile every morning. If bile flow is sluggish, those toxins get reabsorbed through a process called enterohepatic circulation. Industrial seed oils and excess omega-6 fats can stay in your fat tissue for up to 680 days. Bile is your fat exit highway. Clear flow equals elimination. Sluggish flow equals recirculation. The 3 Morning Mistakes: Not hydrating first thing, which thickens bile Adding sugar and inflammatory creamers to coffee Drinking moldy, low-quality coffee that stresses the liver The Solution: Clean coffee, when high quality and mold-free, has been shown to: Stimulate gallbladder contraction Increase bile release Improve bowel motility Lower liver enzymes Reduce fatty liver risk Simple Morning Protocol: Hydrate before caffeine Drink clean coffee (black or with healthy fats, no sugar) Allow natural elimination Support bile flow with bitter foods like lemon, arugula, and ginger Ben also shares a free 7-day fat-burning guide to help reset metabolism and reduce visceral fat. Bottom line:Your morning coffee can either trap inflammatory fat or help flush it. Support your liver, stimulate bile flow, and stop recycling what your body is trying to eliminate.

In as large as the wine trade is, it is really a small, tight knit industry. It takes a certain love of the lifestyle, the product and the people to survive, or shall I say flourish.  I've been following the career and passion of Master of Wine Isabelle Legeron. So intrigued I am, that when I learned her famed wine consortium, RAW wine, was in Paris the week I was attending Wine Paris, I had to catch up with her and learn her latest. Isabelle Legeron has never been one for convention—unless, of course, by "convention" you mean redefining the world of natural wine while collecting accolades like France's Légion d'honneur. In this illuminating episode, listeners will savor Isabelle Legeron's passionate vision for returning wine to its roots as an authentic, cultural expression—connecting land, grower, and glass in a way that today's industrial winemaking has all but forgotten. As founder of the RAW WINE movement, Isabelle Legeron draws back the curtain on the additives, shortcuts, and marketing tricks currently saturating the wine industry, advocating instead for genuine, low-intervention methods that honor tradition, sustainability, and unique terroir. You'll dive into rich stories from her travels—from Tokyo to Armenia—where wine is less a commodity and more a living legacy, shaped by history and heartfelt craftsmanship. Each conversation is spiced with practical insights on how any wine lover can support this global shift and recognize the remarkable difference in their glass. Listeners of Wine Talks will gain: Understand what truly defines raw, low-intervention, biodynamic, and organic wines.

Nuclear fuel is nothing like the coal or gas it replaces. Where fossil fuels are destroyed in combustion, nuclear fuel must survive years of continuous fission inside a reactor and come out the other end looking almost exactly as it went in. In this episode, fuel engineer Michael Seely breaks down how uranium dioxide pellets are made, why the fuel rod is one of the most sophisticated manufactured objects in the world, and how an industry that once ran more than half its fleet on leaking fuel pins methodically engineered its way to near-zero failure rates by 2010.We also get into enrichment economics, the bespoke nature of reactor fuel design, the post-Fukushima push toward accident-tolerant and higher-burnup LEU Plus fuel, and why high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU), the feedstock required by most advanced reactor concepts, requires 40 kilograms of natural uranium and six times the separative work of conventional fuel just to produce a single kilogram. If you want to understand why nuclear plants are built the way they are, why the water cooled reactor won, and what the fuel supply chain challenge really means for the advanced reactor industry, this is the episode to start with.Listen to Decouple on:• Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6PNr3ml8nEQotWWavE9kQz• Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/decouple/id1516526694?uo=4• Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1516526694/decouple• Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/ehbfrn44• RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/23775178/podcast/rssWebsite: https://www.decouple.media

For just under two hours, Trump in his State of the Union address lied about the state of the economy, the cost of living, his tariffs, and even his immigration policy—claiming that he favors legal immigration while his armed, masked goons grab and imprison people who followed the law. And if Americans didn't hear Trump discuss any real policy proposals in speech, it might be because he's a bit distracted with his quest to capture more media outlets, including his longtime nemesis, CNN. Trump's attempt to silence dissent has become the signature of his presidency. Plus, the paradoxes and conflicting signals on Iran, the sellout of bipartisan support for Ukraine, Vance finally has a job as VP, and POTUS only allows robotically remixed, Fox fever dream women in his Cabinet.Susan Glasser joins Tim Miller.show notes Susan's column on the SOTU Susan on Trump's attacks on free speech Josh Barro's new pod, "Central Air" Tickets are now on sale for our LIVE shows in Dallas on March 18 and in Austin on March 19.

Atlantic fish stocks sit at the center of a new political push to expand commercial fishing in federal waters. A recent U.S. executive action signals increased access for industrial fleets, raising critical questions about how economic policy aligns with science based fisheries management. The United States promotes its fisheries system as one of the most sustainably managed in the world, built on stock assessments, annual catch limits, and rebuilding plans overseen by NOAA Fisheries. Yet globally, more than one-third of assessed fish stocks are already overfished, according to the FAO. When access expands, fishing pressure does not vanish, it shifts. This episode examines the legal authority behind offshore fishing expansion, the role of science in setting quotas, and what happens when political priorities move faster than precaution. Are Atlantic fisheries protected by science, or vulnerable to politics?

Industrial and logistics automation continues to expand, yet many robots still struggle with tasks that humans perform effortlessly. A major limitation has been the absence of a true sense of touch. XELA Robotics focuses on tactile sensing technology that can be integrated into existing robot hands and grippers, giving machines the ability to feel pressure, contact, and subtle variations in objects. This capability allows robots to handle items more precisely, safely, and reliably in complex environments.Rather than manufacturing complete robotic arms, the company develops tactile sensor systems that are embedded into a wide range of end effectors. These sensors provide detailed feedback about contact forces, object position, and surface characteristics. With this information, robots can adjust their grip, detect misalignment, and avoid damaging delicate components. The result is a more human‑like interaction with physical objects, which is essential for advanced automation in factories and warehouses.Applications in Factory and Warehouse AutomationIn factory environments, many tasks require precise insertion, alignment, and handling of components. Visual systems alone can struggle with small tolerances or occluded parts. By adding tactile sensing from XELA Robotics, robots can detect whether a connector, memory module, or other component is properly aligned and seated. Force feedback enables fine adjustments during insertion, reducing the risk of damage and increasing process reliability. This is particularly valuable in electronics manufacturing and other high‑precision assembly operations.Warehouse automation presents a different set of challenges. Robots are often required to grasp items they have never encountered before, with varying shapes, weights, and textures. Tactile sensors allow a robot to feel how heavy an object is, how hard or soft it is, and whether it is slipping from its grasp. Grip forces can then be adjusted dynamically to prevent drops while avoiding excessive pressure. This adaptability supports more robust pick‑and‑place operations and enables automation of tasks that previously depended on human dexterity.Customization, Integration, and DeploymentXELA Robotics works with customers to integrate tactile sensors into specific robot hands and grippers. The process typically begins with an understanding of the target application, the type of end effector being used, and the performance requirements. Sensor modules are then selected or customized to fit the geometry and functional needs of the system. Software tools and interfaces are provided to make it easier to interpret tactile data and incorporate it into control strategies.Deployment timelines vary by use case but can often be achieved within a few months. During this period, testing and refinement are carried out to ensure that the tactile feedback is being used effectively. The company's ability to tailor solutions to individual applications is a key strength, allowing enterprises to address unique handling challenges without redesigning entire robotic platforms. The cost of the tactile sensing solution is positioned as a small fraction of the overall robot system, making it an attractive investment relative to the gains in automation and reliability.Economic Impact and Operational BenefitsMany of the tasks targeted by tactile sensing are still performed by human workers, particularly in warehouses and manual assembly lines. By enabling robots to handle more complex and delicate operations, companies can automate a larger share of their workflows. This can lead to significant labor savings, extended operating hours, and improved consistency. Automated systems can run around the clock, do not require sick leave, and reduce exposure to repetitive or ergonomically challenging tasks.Analytics derived from tactile data provide additional value. Robots can determine whether the correct number of items has been grasped, whether the right object has been picked, and how often certain motions occur. This information supports quality control, process optimization, and predictive maintenance. As product lines change, the same tactile sensors can be used to adapt to new items, reducing the need for frequent hardware changes.ConclusionXELA Robotics advances automation by giving robots a practical sense of touch through integrated tactile sensing technology. By enabling more precise handling, better alignment, and adaptive gripping, these systems expand what robots can reliably accomplish in factories and warehouses. The combination of customizable hardware, supporting software, and strong economic benefits positions tactile sensing as a foundational capability for the next generation of robotic automation.Interview by Don Baine, The Gadget Professor.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Randall Bock – Mental health in America has become a sprawling industry that manages distress rather than curing it. Drawing on clinical experience and psychoanalysis, Eric Greene argues that social breakdown is recast as personal pathology, diagnoses multiply, and medication becomes permanent, leaving patients labeled, compliant, and rarely restored to wholeness...

Award-winning author and veteran commentator Charles Goyette joins the program for a no-holds-barred conversation on power, propaganda, and the architecture of political deceit. From manufactured narratives and media manipulation to covert operations, coups, Cold Wars, and historic blunders that reshaped the world, we examine the deadly folly, moral failures, war profiteering, and ruthless manipulation that define modern empire.Goyette delivers a fearless warning: systemic dishonesty is not an accident — it is the operating system of empire. As Mark Twain famously observed, “America cannot have an empire abroad and a republic at home.”We also explore the Epstein blackmail operation — not as an isolated U.S. scandal, but as a global leverage network reaching into power centers around the world.Learn more and purchase his new book, Empire of Lies: Fragments from the Memory Hole, at www.charlesgoyette.com.See exclusives at https://SarahWestall.Substack.com

Silver is disappearing from the COMEX at a pace never seen before, with roughly 90 million ounces leaving in just the past four weeks, while the U.S. government continues running deficits near $2 trillion annually, proving once again that tariffs and political promises won't solve a structural debt crisis. Industrial silver supplies are tightening, ETF inventories are shrinking, and physical metal is steadily moving East. This is not normal market behavior, yet most investors remain distracted and underexposed. Listen to the full update to understand why silver's vanishing act and America's exploding deficit could be setting the stage for what comes next. 

If you haven't streamed the full episode yet, make sure you don't miss it.Optimizing for Meaning: What Industrial Engineering Teaches Us About Balance and BurnoutIn this thoughtful and refreshingly honest conversation, Aly Kamel, an industrial and management engineering student at the Arab Academy for Science and Technology, explores how core industrial engineering principles like input-process-output, value-added analysis, and constraint management can be applied to something far more personal: balance, burnout, and sustainable ambition.Aly challenges the idea that success means maximizing output at all costs. Instead, he reframes burnout not as a personal failure, but as a predictable system outcome, and one that can be redesigned.Industrial engineering isn't just about factories and supply chains. It's a mindset for designing systems that last.And the most important system you'll ever design… might be yourself.Learn more about The Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE)Problem Solved on LinkedInProblem Solved on YouTubeProblem Solved on Instagram

This week's discussion reflects a market navigating slower growth and firmer inflation. Fourth‑quarter GDP shows a clear downshift, while PCE inflation surprised to the upside on both headline and core measures. The panel explains why sticky inflation and recent FOMC minutes raise the bar for rate cuts, with markets responding through higher front-end yields and a flatter curve. Investors are also assessing the Supreme Court Tariff Ruling, which adds policy uncertainty at a time when markets are already range‑bound. Ongoing rotation beneath the surface reinforces the importance of diversification and discipline in a choppy environment. Speakers:Brian Pietrangelo, Managing Director of Investment StrategyGeorge Mateyo, Chief Investment OfficerRajeev Sharma, Head of Fixed IncomeStephen Hoedt, Head of Equities 01:55 — Industrial production shows modest January strength03:53 — GDP slowdown and PCE inflation surprise07:35 — Fed outlook, yields, and rate‑cut expectations12:12 — AI uncertainty and sector rotation beneath the market16:05 — Supreme Court tariff ruling and market implications Additional ResourcesAttend: Key Wealth National Call: Navigating Noise, Finding Meaning: A Conversation with Brian Portnoy, PhD, CFARead: Key Questions: Investing Before Lift‑Off – What Should Investors Know About Private Markets and the Next IPO Cycle? Key QuestionsWeekly Investment BriefSubscribe to our Key Wealth Insights newsletterFollow us on LinkedIn

What if your customers could explore every angle of a complex machine, product, or system without ever stepping onto the factory floor? For industrial buyers evaluating intricate systems and components, static images and brochures rarely tell the full story. That's why immersive 3D visualization is transforming how manufacturers showcase, explain, and ultimately sell their products. In this episode, Mark Worger, Managing Director of MarTech3D, shared how 3D product visualization is helping manufacturers modernize both their marketing and their sales funnels. Brochures, static images, and even trade show booths struggle to fully demonstrate large machinery, embedded systems, or intricate components. It's also very challenging to set up in-person demonstrations or ship large equipment to in-person events. So, sales and marketing  teams must figure out how to effectively present a 10-ton machine or a fully integrated process line during an early-stage sales meeting.That's where interactive 3D visualizations come in. By transforming engineering CAD files into marketing-ready, photorealistic 3D models, manufacturers can create product visuals, animations, augmented reality experiences, and even virtual showrooms. These tools can be applied to a variety of marketing channels and serve multiple stages of the sales funnel. At the top, they create visual impact and differentiation. In the middle, they educate buyers with interactive demonstrations that showcase internal workings and unique selling points. And at the bottom, they help shorten the sales cycle by allowing prospects to fully understand the product before scheduling in-person visits.Key Takeaways3D accelerates complex industrial sales funnels.It's easy to transform CAD files into marketing-ready visual assets.Interactive demos improve buyer education and engagement.Better visualization shortens the sales cycle.Marketing processes should match manufacturing efficiency. ResourcesConnect with Mark on LinkedInConnect with Wendy on LinkedInLearn more about MarTech3DRegister for the Industrial Marketing Summit

Industrial workers in Ukraine have a complex political lifeworld because their political action aimed at bringing radical social change coexists with a demobilizing stance that condemns all political participation as corrupt. This contradictory attitude to politics defines the character of populist mass mobilizations that shook Ukraine in 2004 and 2014, as well as the electoral overhaul of 2019 and the popular response to the Russian invasion in 2022. Based on three years of fieldwork in the city of Kryvyi Rih, the book focuses on the moral economy that constitutes the working-class and structures its relations with other social groups. The Making and Unmaking of the Ukrainian Working Class is written by Denys Gorbach, published in 2024 by Berghan Books.

This week on Sinica, I speak with Kyle Chan, a fellow at the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings, previously a postdoc at Princeton, and author of the outstanding High-Capacity Newsletter on Substack. Kyle has emerged as one of the sharpest and most empirically grounded voices on U.S.-China technology relations, and he holds the all-time record for the most namechecks on Sinica's “Paying it forward” segment. We use his recent Financial Times op-ed on “The Great Reversal” in global technology flows and his longer High-Capacity essay on re-coupling as jumping-off points for a wide-ranging conversation about where China now sits at the global technological frontier, why the dominant decoupling narrative misses powerful structural forces pulling the two economies back together, and what all of this means for innovation, choke points, and the global tech ecosystem.4:35 – How Kyle became Kyle Chan: from Chicago School economics to development, railways, and systems thinking 12:50 – The Great Reversal: China at the technological frontier, from megawatt EV charging to LFP batteries 17:59 – The electro-industrial tech stack and China's overlapping, mutually reinforcing tech ecosystems 22:40 – Industrial strategy and time horizons: patience, persistence, and the long arc of China's auto industry 33:45 – Re-coupling under pressure: Waymo and Zeekr, Unitree robots, and the structural forces binding the two economies 40:22 – The gravity model: can political distance overwhelm technological mass? 47:01 – What China still wants from the U.S.: Cursor, GitHub, talent, and the AI brain drain 51:52 – Weaponized interdependence and the danger of securitizing everything 57:30 – Firm-level adaptation: HeyGen, Manus, and the playbook for de-sinification 1:02:58 – The view from the middle: Gulf states, Southeast Asia, and India as geopolitical arbitrageurs 1:10:18 – Engineering resilience: what policymakers are getting wrong about the systems they're buildingPaying it forward: Katrina Northrop; Grace Shao and her AI Proem newsletterRecommendations:Kyle: Wired Magazine's Made in China newsletter (by Zeyi Yang and Louise Matsakis); The Wire China Kaiser: The Wall Dancers: Searching for Freedom and Connection on the Chinese Internet by Yi-Ling LiuSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Are dumb phones actually the solution to our anxieties, or are they a $400 scam built on a moral panic?~~~~~~~~~~My work is 100% self-funded and this series is not backed by any advertisers or tech giants. If you value my reporting, please, please support my channel: Join the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/taylorlorenz     Subscribe to my Substack:  https://www.usermag.co  ~~~~~~~~~~~~Over the past few years, a massive industry has emerged around dumb phones and the concept of logging off. From $400 minimalist dumb phones to influencers selling digital detox courses, logging off has become big business. Schools are banning phones. Politicians are blaming screen time. Media outlets are calling Gen Z “addicted.”But is ditching your smartphone actually the answer? In this video, I sat down with WIRED journalist Elana Klein to unpack the rise of the logging-off movement. We discuss how reasonable concerns over screen time have metastasized into a consumer movement selling $400 minimalist dumb phones for millions in profit. We also dive deep into the anti-smartphone moral panic , which is heavily pushed by reactionary politicians and legacy media. We explore the history of our relationship with the internet, from the tech optimism of the early 2010s and the algorithmic shift in 2016 , to the dangerous reality of school phone bans that are leading to AI surveillance and increased police interactions for students.We also talk about the concept of "smartphone addiction," what it really means, and why your issues with technology are often manifestations of much larger societal problems.

Welcome to Season 11 of All The Feelings: Still Adulting, where Pete and Tommy prove that being a grown-up is just an elaborate prank we're all somehow still falling for.This week: The culinary industrial complex.Pete wages a one-man war against grocery store architecture while searching for a discontinued cookie with the fervor of someone who's lost far more than a snack. Tommy confronts his mageirocophobia (the fear of cooking—yes, it's real), learns he's been a Meat Man, discovers he's aging into his Fish Era, and finally—finally—figures out how to freeze leftovers without creating a Jenga tower of regret in his freezer.Also: the theological implications of coriander, and why the death of the Choco Taco is actually about mortality.It's 45 minutes of two adults realizing that "What's for dinner?" is the most existentially terrifying question in the English language.Merch Drop: We're Aging Into Our Fish Era • The Omega-3 Wars are Coming for US ALL. ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.
