Fabricators and Manufacturers Association

[The Fabricator Podcast] (https://www.thefabricator.com/podcast/channel/the-fabricator-podcast) brings you conversations with people who make things out of metal. We speak with manufacturing leaders, metal fabricators, welders, job shop owners, small business entrepreneurs, artists, marketers, educators, and more. Host Dan Davis, Editor-in-Chief of The Fabricator, and a rotating co-hosts also go beyond discussing just manufacturing and the skilled trades, and chats about pop culture, current events, food, music, movies, comedy, and, of course, robots. The Fabricator Podcast is presented by the [ Fabricators and Manufacturers Association] (https://fmamfg.org) and part of the FMA Podcast Network.
