Landings Podcast
Landings is an independent podcast spotlighting the unexpected creative and technical roles shaping the Midwest’s manufacturing ecosystem. Through intimate interviews and thoughtful production, each episode uncovers the human stories behind the complexities, nuances, and challenges of working in design and technology across the region.
What began as a five-episode pilot has grown into an evergreen resource for regional talent development and retention efforts at the University of Notre Dame’s iNDustry Labs, sponsor of the inaugural season. Students, professionals, and community leaders exploring pathways in design and technology are invited to consider the landscape of possibility in the Midwest, especially when we pay attention to how work is shaped by people and place.
