Episode 167: Meet the Press: A Conversation with Journalist and PCEA President, Mike Buetow
Update: 2025-04-22
Description
Today, we’re diving deep into the world of electronics manufacturing from a unique vantage point—that of the press.
My guest today is someone who has spent decades at the forefront of reporting on the electronics manufacturing industry. Mike Buetow, editor-in-chief of Circuits Assembly magazine, has covered everything from the latest technological advancements to the biggest challenges facing manufacturers today.
If there’s a major trend shaping the industry, you can bet Mike has written about it, analyzed it, and spoken with the experts behind it. Mike is also the host of his own podcast, PCB chat, available at pcbchat.com. I am so proud to say Mike also syndicates this show at pcbchat.com.
In this episode, we’ll explore the evolving landscape of electronics manufacturing, from supply chain disruptions and AI-driven automation to the future of ultra-high-density interconnects and the real impact of reshoring efforts.
We’ll also get an inside look at what it takes to cover this ever-changing industry—how stories are chosen, what topics are making waves, and what challenges lie ahead.
