  • What to watch out for in the United States-Mexico-Canada agreement — with David Henry of GlobalTranz.
  • Keeping material handling equipment safe and sanitized — with Ken Raycroft of Briggs Equipment.
  • Racism faced by Black delivery drivers — with Dr. Terry Esper, associate professor of logistics at the Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business.

Easy listening wherever you are

Just like podcasts in general — they now number a staggering 850,000 — supply chain podcasts have grown in popularity in recent years, spurred by increased smartphone use and the ease they let you absorb new information. Some, like Talking Logistics, founded in 2015, and the Inbound Logistics Podcast, founded in 2016, are veterans in the group. Others, like The Digital Supply Chain podcast, premiered last year. But, clearly, there’s even more to say.

Logistics Matters With DC Velocity is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, TuneIn, Google Podcasts, iHeart Radio, and many other platforms, as well as at dcvelocity.com/podcasts. DC Velocity’s new supply chain podcast is produced by AGiLE Business Media, a leading publisher of business content for logistics, material handling, and supply chain executives.

It has never been easier to stay on top of the world of supply chain trends and news.

Happy listening.

Instagram rolls out live video

Following the massive success of Facebook Live, Instagram has introduced a live broadcasting tool within its Stories feature, now available for all U.S. users.

Twitter will pare down Vine to Vine Camera

Instagram introduces Saved Posts

Users of the Instagram 10.2 app for iOS or Android are now able to save posts from other users in their own private collections. Instagram has added a small bookmark icon on the bottom-right-hand side of each photo, which allows users to pin that image to their Saved Posts board. This board is not visible to other users, but individuals can access their Saved Posts at any time. Read more
