Industrial Storytellers

by Jim Mayer

Industrial Storytellers is a story-first podcast about the wild, wise, and unexpectedly human moments in manufacturing and the skilled trades. Hosted by Jim Mayer of The Manufacturing Connector, each episode is recorded on-site at major industry events like Hexagon Live, AME, FabTech, and MT Series West. The show features candid, unscripted conversations with the storytellers shaping the voice of modern industry—content creators, podcasters, filmmakers, and brand builders who’ve seen it all and aren’t afraid to talk about it. If you’re looking for technical specs, this ain’t that show. But if you want to laugh, nod, and maybe rethink what the word industrial really means—welcome. New episodes drop monthly. Wild stories, wisdom, and the occasional f-bomb.
