Show overview
Automation Advocates has been publishing since 2021, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 46 episodes. That works out to roughly 40 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence, with the show now in its 3rd season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 52 min and 1h 1m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Business show.
The show is still active — the most recent episode landed 2 months ago, though releases have slowed compared with earlier in the run. The busiest year was 2022, with 23 episodes published. Published by Justin Garski.
From the publisher
A show where we will talk about automation, manufacturing and meet some of the personalities that are involved in the industry and get their perspectives.
