Jacket Media Co., formerly known as Manufacturing Broadcast Corporation 
The Ohio Manufacturing Institute is a think-tank within The Ohio State University that is working with manufacturers and support organizations to bring advanced manufacturing best practices and policies onto the Jacket Media Co. network to reach additional listeners across the country.
“Our partnership with the Ohio Manufacturing Institute to bring their content onto our platform for greater listener exposure helps to provide more quality information to an industry that works without much fanfare but is the backbone of the U.S. economy,” said Lew Weiss, CEO of Jacket Media Co.
The “Manufacturing Tomorrow” series aims to provide a voice to small and large manufacturers, educate the public on the value of manufacturing innovation to the U.S. economy, and showcase how Ohio’s technology resource support providers (e.g., higher education, technical centers, and MEPs) boost advanced manufacturing solutions. Interviewers ask guest speakers about what catalysts are needed to collaborate on new products and processes, how to reduce academic-industry barriers, and the types of technical resources that can truly bolster manufacturing productivity.
“As one of the leading manufacturing universities in the U.S., we are excited to add the uniqueness of our podcast to Jacket Media Co. so listeners can find an expanding library of audio interviews with thought leaders from manufacturing, academia, and government that offer a greater depth of knowledge about this vibrant ecosystem. As tomorrow’s manufacturing trailblazers, they are propelling the industry forward to new heights of technological innovation and end-user satisfaction,” added Kathryn Kelley, Executive Director of the Ohio Manufacturing Institute.
Jacket Media Co. and OMI will be using their combined marketing reach via email and social media to announce the new podcast series on Manufacturing Talk Radio. Listeners can hear Manufacturing Talk Radio’s new series,“Manufacturing Tomorrow,” on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Music, Blubrry, PodBean, YouTube, omi.osu.edu/podcast, and mfgtalkradio.com.
“By partnering with Jacket Media Co., its podcast line-ups, and listener reach, we look forward to OMI’s new series becoming one of the go-to’s for every listener interested in the manufacturing industry, whether they are working in it or with it today or see it as their career path in the future,” commented Kelley.
