Chuck and Howie kick off Season 2 with a candid, behind-the-scenes look at how metrology is shifting in today’s world, from industry consolidation and evolving technician training to the never-ending debate around measurement uncertainty.

This season’s theme spotlights C-level executives who make a real difference in metrology. Across the board, we’re featuring leaders shaping the industry, and we’re looking for more. If you’re a CFO, CEO, COO, CTO, or any other C-suite making an impact, Chuck and Howie want to hear from you!

What is ChatNAPT with A.I. Chatterbots Chuck & Howie?

In our podcast, we dive deep into metrology, calibration, and proficiency testing bringing you real stories, expert insights, and candid conversations from our 85+ years of combined experience. This isn’t just another technical podcast; we’re here to challenge the status quo, discuss industry changes, and tackle big questions like whether calibration labs are failing to train the next generation or if automation has gone too far. Expect lively discussions, industry leaders as guests, and a little fun along the way. As Howard puts it, “Proficiency testing is checking that transition from theory to application. But what happens when techs are just pushing buttons?” And Chuck adds, “We’re not teaching technicians how to measure anymore—we’re teaching them how to press ‘go.’” Whether we’re reflecting on our journeys—like Howard’s path from Air Force electronics to writing calibration procedures for the NFL—or debating metrology’s future, we promise to keep it engaging, informative, and unfiltered.
