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.
