/ PUBLISHER'S PAGE

Heat Treat Today publishes twelve print magazines annually and included in each is a letter from the publisher, Doug Glenn. This letter from the March 2026 Annual Aerospace Heat Treating print edition highlights the growing presence of heat treat-focused podcasts in North American market, spotlighting both The Heat Treat Podcast with Carlos Torres and Heat Treat Radio, including the transition to a new host, Heather Falcone and the continued evolution of digital content in the industry.

Feel free to contact Doug at doug@heattreattoday.com if you have a question or comment. 

It’s amazing to me that there are at least two professionally done heat treat podcasts in the North American heat treat marketplace. There are actually more than two podcasts, but the two I’m speaking of are ongoing and very targeted toward the North American heat treat industry. Check the end of this column for a link to some of the other podcasts I won’t be discussing at length here.

The Heat Treat Podcast with Carlos Torres

Let’s start with the podcast that it not part of Heat Treat Today — The Heat Treat Podcast with our friend Carlos Torres. Carlos is the CEO of TORSA Group Mattsa and a director at Mattsa Furnace Co. in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Carlos’ video podcast is housed on YouTube (www.youtube.com/@theheattreatpodcast) and has roughly 70 episodes. Carlos cooperates with Super Systems Inc. (SSI) in Mexico, so it is no surprise that Episode #1 from 2021 featured SSI president and all-around great guy, Jim Oakes. Carlos is a very engaging podcast host and has interviewed the likes of Tracy Dougherty, AFC-Holcroft; John Hubbard, former CEO, Bodycote; Chip Keough of the Atmosphere Group; Chad Wright from Wirco; and many other industry notables including Joe Powell, Ben Rassieur, Karen Stanton, Jason Orosz, Jim and Andy Orr, Andrew Bassett, and Trevor Jones.

When Carlos first started his podcast, I joked with him that there was no way he could keep up the pace of turning out good quality heat treat interviews. That was at least four years ago — I was wrong. Carlos continues to do a great job interviewing and posting helpful, timely heat treat content.

Heat Treat Today

The podcast that is a part of Heat Treat Today is Heat Treat Radio. By the time this column is published in March of 2026, Heat Treat Radio will have deployed over 131 episodes since 2016. Initially, the podcasts were strictly audio, but since January 2023, episodes have been video, audio, and transcribed. The list of industry notables is too long, but suffice it to say, it is impressive.

Heat Treat Radio’s new host, Heather Falcone

The BIG news regarding this podcast is that starting last month (February 2026), Heat Treat Radio has a new host, Heather Falcone, former CEO of Thermal-Vac Technology and currently the CEO of Falcone Consulting. Since 2016, I’ve had the pleasure (and responsibility) of hosting the Heat Treat Radio. Heat Treat Today‘s managing editor, Bethany Leone, has been hugely instrumental in the scheduling and production of episodes for the past four years. Both Bethany and I have handed over the reins to Heather, and we are very excited about how the podcast will morph and grow under Heather’s leadership.

By the way, Heather, in her previous life, was interviewed by both The Heat Treat Podcast (Carlos Torres) and Heat Treat Radio. She is, by every measure, an industry legend in her own right.

The nice thing about having Heather take the lead is her ability to “talk turkey” with other industry experts…something I was not able to do being a lowly “publishing guy,” and her creativity and technical savvy when it comes to digital products like audio and video productions. We’re very excited to have Heather on the Heat Treat Today team.

If you have a topic you’d like to see covered on a future episode, or if you know of someone that you think Heather should interview, please reach out directly to Heather at heather@heattreattoday.com.

Whether it’s The Heat Treat Podcast or Heat Treat Radio, I hope you find some of the heat treat audio (and video) helpful.

As promised, here’s a link to some other podcasts. Heat Treat Today provides this link on the Heat Treat Radio landing page: https://www.heattreattoday.com/media/heat-treat-radio-lp/other-industry-podcasts/.

1.  Will Robotics Change Heat Treat?

Robotics seem to be an increasing part of life as we know it. "The operator utilized a suite of wearable devices, which is known as the iFeel system. These gadgets include multiple IMUs (inertial measurement units) placed at various locations on a body suit; 'gloves' that both track the user's finger movements and relay tactile sensations from the robot's finger pads; and a VR headset – the latter tracks the user's facial expressions, eyelids and eye movements, picks up their voice, plus it allows them to see what the robot is seeing, and to hear what it's hearing." Will the metals in the technology designed for robots find their way into your heat treat shop? (New iCub 3 biped robot used as a long-distance avatar for its operator)
