Supply chains — the movement of goods and resources worldwide — are more than just a network of businesses. They are invisible networks that connect us all. With this in mind, ASCM is excited to uncover the mysteries, discuss innovations and share the hidden stories of this complex system with the launch of our supply chain podcast, The Chain.
The Chain, hosted by ASCM CEO Abe Eshkenazi, will cover the latest supply chain news and trends — but then we’ll dig deeper. We will help everyone understand how supply chains impact the world around them.
What you can expect from The Chain
Eshkenazi will interview supply chain business innovators and leaders. Guests will share how micro and macro global events affect the vast migration of goods and services. Their stories will touch on how products are made from the factory floor and shipped to your door and everything in between. You’ll learn about technological transformations including the impacts of AI, the importance of supporting a sustainable supply chain and how to build the supply chain of the future.
How we built The Chain
The idea for The Chain podcast began with ASCM’s initial journey into the supply chain podcast world. In 2020, we helped launch The reBound with cohost Bob Trebilcock of Supply and Demand Chain Executive. The reBound explored the issues facing supply chain professionals as they navigated the pandemic. Supply chain specialists joined Eshkenazi and Trebilcock to discuss topics such as diversity, equity, and inclusion; making sense of blockchain; and more.
Since the last episode of The reBound aired in April of 2024, we’ve partnered with WAG Entertainment to bring the power of supply chains to the screen. Coming soon to select streaming services, ASCM presents the docuseries The Chain. The Chain features compelling stories about how everyday products and services are made, processed, shipped and stocked so we get what we need when we need it.
The Chain: From visual to audio
The story of supply chains and the people who drive them cannot be contained in just one entertainment medium for one specific audience. We worked closely with the producers at WAG Entertainment and learned how important it is to raise supply chain awareness for everyone.
Episode one of The Chain podcast series is dedicated to the producers of its namesake, The Chain docuseries. You’ll meet the WAG Entertainment team and hear how working on the docuseries opened their eyes to the hidden world of supply chains. Learn how they made the docuseries, the stories it presents and the communities influenced by our global supply chains — and why we must all understand the intricacies of this system to create a better world.
A supply chain podcast for everyone
The Chain podcast uncovers the hidden truths about supply chains from the professionals who know them best. Whether you work in supply chain management or are simply fascinated by how products get to store shelves or your doorstep, this podcast is made for you.
