Construction Junkie’s annual Best Construction Podcast Competition is underway for 2019 and the voting booth is officially open. As part of the contest this year, we will be highlighting one of the contest’s nominees each week. This week we highlight The ConTechCrew Podcast.
The ConTechCrew is always a serious contender in the Best Construction Podcast competition, as they won in 2016, placed 2nd in 2017, and 3rd in 2018. Hosted by JBKnowledge CEO James Benham (@JamesMBenham) and a now rotating cast of Rob McKinney (@ConAppGuru), Jeff Sample (@IronmanOfIT), and others, the ConTech Crew Podcast takes a weekly deep dive on construction technology topics and guest interviews with the construction tech industries biggest names.
The best thing about the Crew is that they don’t just talk about technology, they live it. That fact is made very clear by the incredible investment they’ve made into not only their permanent studio, but the mobile studio that they bring to industry conferences for shows on-the-road. The podcast is live-edited for video and streamed in real-time across their social media outlets, as well as published to YouTube. Of course, it’s also released in an audio-only form each week through Spreaker and iTunes.
On the content side, the rotating stable of well-qualified co-hosts welcome a construction technology insider to the show each week to “geek” out. The first half of the show is spent on interviewing the guest, followed by a look at recent construction tech news, with continued interaction with the guest. Each episode usually lasts around an hour in length.
Now 172 episodes deep, the ConTechCrew has most recently hosted guests like Mikki Paradis from PDI Drywall, Baseem Hamdy of Briq, and Stephan Schnell from UA Local 467. Just based upon those past guests, you can see that the team gets a wide perspective of technology from many different aspects of the industry.
