Chris always brings great guests. Each of them delivers so much to help our manufacturing sector.

Really enjoyed the content and guests so far in my experience. Not many manufacturing podcasts out there but this one is very entertaining and informative. I really enjoyed the May 30, 2023 bonus content on “Content Strategies”. Will be using some of the tips from the episode to help create content for my family’s manufacturing company that will hopefully prove informative to our customer base and potential audience and employees. Thanks to Chris for your efforts in creating a one-of-a-kind podcast.

Just caught a vintage episode with the CEO from Folsom Ski. Chris does a fantastic job bringing out manufacturing as well as business building insights. A must-listen show!

Chris Leuke is the real deal as both an engineer-educated and industry-immersed manufacturing creator. His skills as a host both online and off at his MFG Happy Hour events at trade shows and manufacturing-focused destinations allow his audiences to not only tune-in but to create connections that make an impact on people, businesses, and the manufacturing community.

I really enjoy the versatility of this podcast and every guest has something unique to offer. Loved the episode with Mike from Folsom Skis!

This is the podcast I recommend the most to my manufacturing friends. Chris’ curiosity and inside baseball knowledge delivers one meaningful conversation after another.

As I work in manufacturing, I really enjoy learning about how the other guys do it! Lots of interesting perspectives from consumer, b2b, and service perspectives. Chris is a fun host and the podcast is an easy listen on your commute or next road trip

Love this podcast. Seems there’s not enough engineering/manufacturing material out there and this fits the bill!

I love this podcast. Not only is Chris a terrific conversationalist and fantastic host, but he also sits down with some of the most interesting guests and leaders from the manufacturing space. I’ve learned so much from this show and from the human and creator behind it. The only thing that could make this show a full on rock concert is the addition of an after hours party. We just finished up hosting a karaoke night in Charlotte, NC for IME South. That was the most fun I’ve had in a long time. It was the perfect chance to balance the seriousness of work with the humanity of our friends. Working together online is one thing, but every once and a while, people need these memories to form the bonds that help us work better together. I would be honored for the opportunity to work on collaborating on a future endeavor to host our friends and help them create these unique experiences. You bring the conversation. I’ll bring the music. I promise to play all of our favorite songs and also allow our friends to play theirs. Because in the words of our 21st Century profits, Good Charlotte, “I want to rock with my friends and have a little fun.” I know the hours will be long. I know there will be a fair share of chaos. But it’s only chaos if you don’t hear the music as you go. So, sign me up. If it means making an impact and sharing life experiences with our friends, I’ll take it. Five stars. -Ann

Most industry podcasts provide a cure for insomnia. Chris does a great job of selecting guests and asking the questions that keep us engaged. Especially liked this week’s discussion with Mike Kraft about the wayback machine known as the Retro Encabulator.

Great job Chris, keep up the good work!

Chris always does a fantastic job with all the content that he puts out. You should listen to the podcasts, watch the videos, and find the Manufacturing Happy Hour group on LinkedIn (or whichever conference that a group of us will be.) Review 1. Chris, I’m going to see how many machines I can leave a 5 star review on. Dave

I absolutely love this show. I think Chris has done an absolutely amazing job with it and Im really looking forward to future episodes!

Great in depth interviews with thought leaders in manufacturing. Highly recommended for anyone involved with or leading manufacturing concerns.

Manufacturing Happy Hour was the podcast that was missing in our industry. Finally a podcast that features the innovations of manufacturing and features the great people leading the charge. Chris is engaging and always has great guests on the show.

Lots of manufacturing knowledge, doesn’t hurt that he’s a STL Blues fan also. Thanks for being an all-star Chris!

Chris brings a fresh perspective to manufacturing. His passion and enthusiasm combined with the relevant subject matter make this a must listen for anyone who believes in the importance of manufacturing.

Passion is hard to fake and Chris brings it each week! The content is relevant and thought provoking!

I really enjoyed the insights and flow of episode 2 with Z Holly. Great job!

Great content for manufacturing enthusiasts. Excellent video and sound quality for a smooth listening experience. A must have on your list of Pods.

This is a great podcast to listen to during my commutes to and from work.

This podcast has great tips and tricks for people looking to create new ideas in manufacturing. Very informative!

Your ability to turn all this subject matter into such engaging content, easy for anyone to digest and understand is amazing. Glad I sub'ed.

I love podcasts that pull back the curtain and let us see and learn from a world we wouldnt normally have access to. THe audio is great as is the content!

Chris does a great job on making manufacturing topics accessible.

Chris makes manufacturing easily digestible and does a great job dissecting content that is not traditionally the hottest topic. He brings the industry to life and makes it fun to learn about!

Great source of information for industrial automation

These first few episodes really resonated with me. I felt like I was chatting with friends about a day at work and what to expect, change, grow. I found myself saying aloud, “yeah, right, same here”! On another note regarding episode#1: BIRD’s EYE VEGETABLES! Cmon’ Chris!

Great podcast for all things manufacturing. Chris does a great job interviewing guests and pulling out interesting, relevant stories and pieces of advice that are interesting to listen to. Recommend!

As someone in the manufacturing industry, it’s great to hear podcasts like this and learn from other industries and what’s going on in the world of manufacturing. Great sound quality and great questions, made my car ride to my next customer very enjoyable. Subscribe and enjoy!!

I am super impressed with Chris and this new podcast. The audio and production is terrific and the subject is super interesting. Great guests, tips and takeaways. Subscribed!
