    Arc Junkies- walk te talk
    I started listing to arc-junkies around the time I caught up to welding tips and tricks last episode, I did not know if I would find another podcast made for welders by welders. When I started listening I was another student, teaching myself the craft at work, trying to grow and better myself. I can now wholeheartedly say that not only has Jason helped me further myself with his podcast and his support outside of the platform but he has ignited a passion for the industry I didn’t know was there. Jason brings a breath of fresh air to the industry, bringing guests from a plethora of industries that involve welding. Having a real world conversation, with valid questions that come from experience and a place of genuine curiosity. As a fabricator, I find the upmost value in direct, relatable information; we simply do not have time, the time we do dedicate to furthering our craft needs to be efficient and purposeful. Jason over delivers in this matter, adding unmatched value to every welder out there looking to further themselves in this industry. Thank you Jason, truly appreciate all of the time you dedicate to helping the community and making it a more welcoming place for all.

    Keeping me motivated one episode at a time.
    I listen to podcasts almost nonstop. I’ve had the privilege to listen to each one of Arc Junkies podcasts keeping up with the most recent one. This show has helped me be sharper in the field, as well as helping my coworkers, and encouraging me as I teach classes. Also hoping to start my own business and this podcast keeps giving me new and more tips and encouragement to do that one day.

    I just listen to your podcast about the welders and machinist in the military and it’s awesome to see that other branches have the same stuff the marine corp does. I am a Cpl in the marines and I’m a welder so it’s awesome to listen to this and get a prospective I haven’t thought of and seen. Keep it up man I love the podcast
  • T Epting
    The best
    The only podcast I listen to religiously. As a Welding Instructor, I’m always looking for different spins on how to teach the art of welding. Very valuable.
  • ltwp!
    Above and beyond
    Jayson is one of the hardest podcasters in the word of welding! I emailed him a question and in minutes he answered it. That is just one of the ways I know he is on top of his game! Learning a lot keep it up!
  • PhockerFabs
    Could ask for a better podcast for the welding community!
    Jason has one done one heck of a great job with the ArcJunkies podcast. I’m stoked for the quality of content he brings and the guests he has. A lot of great people are sharing a lot of great information. It’s a 10/10 in my book and takes a lot for me to be impressed by a welding podcast due to fabricating for 20 years. It’s not a bunch of boomers talking about boomer things!
  • Jaba125
    Great conversationalist
    Jason’s clearly skilled at keeping a conversation flowing and interesting! Bravo
  • Drinkin'n'Brewin
    Great insights into the world of welding
    Jason has done a phenomenal job of bringing the craft of welding to the public. As someone with over 20 years in the industry, I love the varied guests he brings on. This podcast is helping to bring more awareness to the trades in general and pulls back the curtain on life under the hood.
  • Slydog400

    Love it!
    I am an aspiring CWI, my test is actually here in a few months, I love all the helpful hints and tips on here from true industry professionals. I hope to have my own welding business here soon, so I’m really soaking up every bit I can. Thank you very much for creating away for newer welders like myself to get helpful information without having to pay thousands of dollars.

    Great cast
    I have been in the process of starting my own small mobile welding business the past month. I picked up a ram 5500 crane truck a trailblazer and a suitcase (lost a finger for my last company and got a couple bucks) and ever since I have a nervous breakdown once a day. The episode about starting the business grounded me a bit and got me back moving. Your killing it keep it up
  • GroovyPimpPlaya
    Highest Regards!
    Jason, I’ve been following closely with this podcast as well as your videos on YouTube with Weld.com. I love everything that you’re doing with the podcast and the videos. On a more recent note, I’ve been seriously enjoying listening to Weld Wednesdays with AWS! You’re doing awesome work and lifting up the welding community. Thanks, Jason! -Alex Weeks

    Passionate Professional
    I had the privilege of volunteering with Jason for welding demonstrations at the Future Builders of America. He was engaging and all the students were mesmerized. He is passionate about the skill of welding and the opportunities that welding affords those who choose welding as a career. Hoods off for Jason!

With Jason running the show now it’s bound to be a success, if any of you want to learn a wealth of welding knowledge as well as get a few laughs, this podcast is for you!
  • Ryan1006
    The torch has been passed
    Jason so far has done a great job with this podcast. He’s concise, informative and easy to listen to. I really enjoyed Jimmy, and Jason is a really good fit. I also like that he changed the logo to fit his style and even changed the outro line, rather than recycling Jimmy’s. I can’t wait to see what he does with it in the future.
  • MJCMFD
    Good call
    Trading to get Jason Becker was great. Canning Jimmy was best thing that happened to this podcast.
  • jjkuj4199
    Expected more from a welding podcast.
    They don’t really know what they’re talking about sometimes.. I cant listen to bad advice from guys with not much experience or schooling.. Sure, they’re experienced in some areas, but extremely novice in others, yet you wouldn't know the difference by the way they talk about it... That is WHEN they talk about it. Sometimes they stray off and talk about themselves and their family which I myself have no interest in. Be warned.

    Arc junkies is a great podcast to listen to when you want to let your mind melt into the work before you! I always listen on my Sunday grind makes it a breeze. I really love that they infuse there local heritage and own lives into it. I personally enjoy it because as a lot of people forget most people have other interests. The Detroit history infused is awesome.
  • TexasWelder11
    Not really much welding talk any more
    A lot of jumping around topics and I usually exit out after 15min of listening, miss the old more weld based episodes.
  • cgwelds88
    Best blue collar podcast out
    Been listening for a while and I just love the podcast. Keep on rocking brother! - cgwelds88
  • DaveDD586
    Great Podcast
    I just started listening and listened to 5 in a row. The Detroit stories and history is a big plus.
  • zzfi24
    Arcfest Rebel 205
    I am a regular listener of this podcast and when I saw they had mentioned Baker’s I was ecstatic. I’ve been ordering from them since 2008 and I’ve yet to have an issue with them. I just recently spoke with one of the reps over there and they recommended the Rebel 205 for me and honestly I couldn’t be happier. They had the best available price online and they shipped it for free in 3 days. I am happy to know that more people know about Baker’s and that Jimmy also uses them!
  • Blake7658493021
    Best Blue Collar Talk
    The voice of Detroit, Mr Jimmy McKnight is absolutely killing the podcast scene! ArcJunkies hits the best and deepest topics across the board for welders and blue collar workers. Such a real vibe to every episode and hits on subjects the majority of the community won’t speak on, Jimmy speaks on a lot of excellent points that nobody else will. I always look forward to the next episode and definitely can’t wait for All the live shows at fabtech this year! Right On Brotha, keep up the awesome work Jimmy!
  • Ip Fan 1,2,3,4

    Wish I would have found this podcast sooner!
    Great podcast! Definitely moved to the top of my favorites. Great to see such a strong community in the metal fabrication world. Your podcast has helped me find so many new people I otherwise wouldn’t have found. Went back and started listening from the first episodes. Keep up the great work!

    This is a great show that talks about things blue collar folks can appreciate and relate to. I really enjoy the spectrum of guests and hearing about their experiences in this profession.
