Special Episode: The Mount Rushmores of American Metal

from Cup o Joe - A Metals Podcast · host Ryerson

In celebration of America's 250th birthday, Mike and Nick put a fun twist on one of the country's most iconic traditions: creating their own Mount Rushmores of American metal landmarks.From engineering marvels like the Gateway Arch, Golden Gate Bridge, and Empire State Building to unexpected choices such as Cloud Gate ("The Bean"), the Brooklyn Bridge, the original Chicago Ferris Wheel, the Space Needle, and even the Hoover Dam, they each make the case for the four landmarks they believe best represent the impact of steel and metal on America's history.Along the way, they share fascinating facts about the engineering, materials, and construction behind each landmark, compare the enormous amount of metal used in these structures to today's AI data centers, and invite viewers to debate their own picks in search of the ultimate Mount Rushmore of American Metal.It's part history lesson, part friendly debate, and a celebration of the metal that helped build America.
