I Bleeping Love Packaging is a podcast for people who bleeping love packaging — and for people who don’t yet know that they will.

Hosted by AJ Piejko-Brown, each episode features honest, nerdy, and sometimes crass conversations with people from across the packaging industry: engineers, designers, brand folks, graphic designers, operators, and suppliers. We talk about how they got hooked on packaging, why they stayed, and what keeps them fired up about an industry most people overlook.

You’ll hear real stories about projects people are proud of, the ones that nearly broke them, and the compromises they fought for along the way. We dig into the reality behind sustainability, cost, testing, retail, and shipping things without them exploding — without the corporate speak or polished marketing fluff.

Because we bleeping love packaging — and after listening, you probably will too.
