EngineerGuy Stories

a podcast by Bill Hammack, the EngineerGuy

EngineerGuy Stories carries the same sensibility as the EngineerGuy videos — a fascination with how things are made and how engineers think — but in a different key.

Each episode is short, roughly fifteen minutes, and it’s just one voice: Bill at his desk, talking to a single listener. No interviews, no panels. Freed from the tight focus of the videos, the podcast can wander into the more human, more personal, more essayistic corners of engineering — the history of an everyday object, an abstract idea worth turning over, a person whose work changed something. At its heart it’s still an exploration of the engineering method: what engineers do, and how they do it.
