Welcome to a special announcement from "Last Call For Plastisol," your go-to podcast for all things screen printing! In September, we saw a significant change as Snatch & Run and Rock Hill Screen Printing merged, quickly growing by taking on the excess from the closure of South Paw Screen Printing. Over the past 9 months we have been tirelessly managing this merge, transitioning into a new building, and expanding our team.

Since August, we've been operating at full throttle, eagerly anticipating a moment to reconnect with our beloved listeners. Despite hosting a fantastic Grand Re-Opening party last month, it became clear that the pace won't be slowing down anytime soon.

Given this, your hosts Jeremy and Christy have decided to press pause on the podcast to regain some work/life balance and ensure we continue delivering quality content. We owe it to our sponsors, listeners, and ourselves to only produce the bi-weekly podcast if we can do so passionately and meaningfully.

The content we've created so far has truly impacted printers, and we look forward to resuming in the future, albeit in a slightly different and less frequent format. Stay tuned for quarterly shop meetups and a special screen printing business class this fall. Thank you for your support and understanding as we take this necessary break to come back stronger and more dedicated to the craft of screen printing.

Stay creative and keep printing!

Let me tell you a story of a young 20 year old man living in Lansing Michigan who decided on a whim to move to California during covid, fell in love with screen printing, mastered sales with MCLogan Supply, became a darkroom guru, worked for free at shops in his spare time to learn as much as he could, caught the eye of industry professionals and eventually ROQ, catapulted a 6 month training program in 3 months, moved to Chattanooga Tennessee and became a regional salesman for ROQ and still prints for free in his spare time….Oh and he’s only 24 years old. Yep this dude has what most dudes don’t have and we can’t wait for you to meet him too. Colton Moreno joins the show this week as Rock Hill Screen Printing hosts their grand reopening party. Prost!

In this episode we take a break from the normal format and take the show on the road to Flyover Con 2024. FLYOVER CON is a community-building initiative aimed at fostering connections and sharing knowledge among Midwest screen printers and decorators. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting, FLYOVER CON has something for everyone. At the end of Day 1 of the event P&M had an epic happy hour and we were fortunate enough to host our show live for the attendees. We had a great time interviewing multiple shops and solution providers covering hot topics like the current labor force, hiring, artwork, business ownership and more.

Come join the fun, Cheers!
