Description

Torque & Tape — The Blue Collar Upskill Podcast is dedicated to the people who keep the world moving. Hosted solo with honesty and grit, this show is an educational space for anyone in the trades, on the jobsite, or building a better future with their hands.

Each episode explores practical skills, how-to guidance, and trade knowledge that workers can apply right away. From tool breakdowns and step-by-step tutorials to safety tips and productivity hacks, Torque & Tape is built to teach and inspire. The focus is always respect — for the craft, for the worker, and for the universal blue-collar spirit that connects mechanics, welders, carpenters, electricians, truckers, farmers, and makers across the globe.

Whether you’re tightening bolts in Kingston, welding steel in New York, painting walls in London, or wiring homes in Port of Spain, Torque & Tape is your go-to guide for learning, improving, and taking pride in the trades. This is where knowledge meets respect — where the hard work of today becomes the foundation of tomorrow.
