Manufacturing Spaces

I'm joined by Greg Koenig (@gak_pdx) and Cooper Zurad (@CooperZurad) for a no holds barred discussion about the economic manufacturing relationship between the US and China. Both have super deep knowledge of the topic and well reasoned opinions, so we’ll all have fun and walk away having learned something!

This week we have an audience Q&A about Andrew's latest "build in public" adventure, Project Bob (projectbob.xyz), whose mission is to autonomously circumnavigate the globe.

Andrew's previous public projects include his mission to replicate the LK-99 superconductor in his shop (featured in Wired), and the hilarious Doomscroller device.
