The show you’re about to hear is part one of a two-parter that was recorded during the ConExpo exhibition in Las Vegas.

Both parts are a discussion between myself and vlogger, podcaster and journalist Peter Haddock of Content with Media.

Peter had just come from the finals of Caterpillar’s global Operator Challenge finals where he had met both the operators and their families.

So when I asked him for his greatest highlight of the show, it s no great surprise that he started with his encounter with the children of the man crowned world champion.

This episode touches upon subjects including autonomous and remotely-controlled machines, the growing skills shortage, and the prohibitive cost of operator training.   

So sit back and enjoy this episode; and be sure to check out Part 2 as soon as it lands.
