Season 1 | AutomationTown Trailer

A 4 minute podcast trailer? Why not.

Show Notes

Imagine this...you're at your job and it's time to do that one thing you absolutely despise. So you start working on it and immediately start wishing the computer would do it for you.

Like, "Why do I have to do this?"

There's got to be a better way.

No more click this, click that, over and over again. Somehow, it's just done for you.

That's what this podcast is trying to do.

Give you a seat at the table as we discuss ways to automate and eliminate the things we want to forget about at work.

If you make it to the end of the trailer, let us know what you think on Twitter (@AutomationTown). 

We know 4 minutes is a lot, so thank you. 

What is AutomationTown?

Welcome to AutomationTown! A podcast about regular people, building automations for the problems we all share.

First time here? Start with S02E01 "For When You Need A Chatbot"

What are the things you do each day that you'd rather forget?

Chad & Jason explore common pain points for knowledge workers, and track down the people & tools necessary to automate trivial to-do's.

Have you ever wondered what the automation nerds are actually talking about?

Like what are all those words they use and what do they actually mean?

What if I told you I wasn't completely sure,

But I wanted to find out.

Can I come?

You don't know anything about podcasting Chad, but

What if we learned and recorded it for science? I think people would actually listen to, honestly, it's hard to say, but Chad, I can tell you there's people out there who need our help named three of them.

All right. Well, what would we talk about? And there are a bunch of these podcasts out there already.

But what if it wasn't about the tech or the tool or even the software instead, it was about the problems, problems, problems that we all. And how to overcome those problems with tech. You said it wasn't about the tech, I guess it's a little about the tech, but more about the problem. What if we worked together on the pain points we all have and in the process.

Got a little closer to the things that matter the things we actually want to do, build solutions for the things we want to forget. We want to forget, forget, and in the process. Re-engage with the human experience. That's a little on the nose there.

Okay. Are we still a podcast trailer?

So what does that actually look like?

Well, let's go down the list of problems we're solving. Things like, I don't know, managing email, managing, having to mail physical things in the mail things, connecting systems, connecting system system, maybe some data entry data age.

Let's fix it.

Let's find those problems that so many of us share and build shared solutions.

And what would we call this podcast?

automation town coming to you, wherever you get your podcasts, a podcast about regular people, building solutions to the problems we all share. And the human experience and the human experience.

Of course.

So we're actually just going to talk about email and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Just that automate regular knowledge, worky things and specific problems, but not so much about the specific tools, the how to solve our most common problems.

Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool.

Cool.
