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.

What a terrific show. I listened to the episode with Tony Gunn. Going to go check out his podcast now. Can’t recommend your show enough. If you have the time and wanna check out a relatively new CNC Machining Podcast, listen to The Right Direction Podcast from Compass Precision. Thanks!
