Additive Manufacturing Media Launches New Podcast: AM Radio

Additive Manufacturing is launching a new, ongoing podcast, “AM Radio” this month. The podcast tackles the biggest topics in additive manufacturing (AM), such as challenges to adopting AM, technology innovations and how 3D printing is advancing manufacturing. With a front row seat, listeners learn about the latest advances within the AM space from a variety of technology suppliers, end-users and intriguing new startups.

“AM Radio” is hosted by AM’s Editor-in-Chief Peter Zelinski and Senior Editor Stephanie Hendrixson — who also host AM’s popular video series The Cool Parts Show. Joining them will be Additive Manufacturing’s newest editor, Julia Hider.

The first episode sheds light on where 3D printing lies in the manufacturing space and how it stands out among other production methods, driving startups and small businesses. New episodes will be released every other Monday.

In later episodes, Zelinski, Hendrixson and Hider will dive into topics such as companies building their own 3D printers, sustainability in AM and the reasons behind staying optimistic about AM in today’s world. The hosts will step foot into the facilities where additive happens and share their latest findings.

“We have access to the companies and people who are succeeding with additive’s latest technology or who soon will be,” notes Hendrixson. “We visit their facilities, see their work and talk with them about the challenges and promises of additive manufacturing. AM Radio will be an outlet for us to share more of what we witness, as well as provide context and analysis for those observations.”

The AM podcast is designed to be different from other industry podcasts. It brings together the AM editors’ expertise from their travels and reporting, sharing what they’ve learned primarily from AM users — the lessons they are coming to that others in their audience could learn from, as well as the trends they see playing out across various industry sectors.

“The podcast complements our existing print magazine, website, video and social media channels as a space where we can tackle big ideas in additive, explore emerging trends and let our audience in on the story behind the story,” Hendrixson says. “Our goal is to tune into what’s really happening in additive manufacturing, and help listeners understand what it might mean for their businesses and industries.”

“AM Radio” is focused on providing insights into what makes additive technology what it is today in a way that manufacturers and additive experts alike can enjoy. Along the way, the AM team plans to bring in guest hosts from their Gardner Business Media sister publications for invaluable insights into how AM is changing the manufacturing landscape across a gamut of industries.

Listeners can find “AM Radio” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and all major podcast platforms. Learn more and find links to subscribe at gbm.media/amradio.
