## What LTSC Is

Let's Talk Supply Chain is the #1 independent supply chain podcast, founded and hosted by Sarah Barnes-Humphrey in 2018. The show runs interview-style conversations with operators, founders, executives, analysts, and policy voices across the global supply chain. The mission is to make supply chain accessible — translating freight, logistics, manufacturing, sustainability, technology, and trade into plain language for both seasoned practitioners and broader business audiences.

The show is independent (not owned by a freight or 3PL company), which is core to its editorial posture: guests come from across the ecosystem — shippers, carriers, 3PLs, tech vendors, government, academia, and labor — without favoring any single operator.

## Host

Sarah Barnes-Humphrey is the founder and host of LTSC. She launched the show in 2018 after a career in international freight forwarding and logistics. She is regularly cited as one of the leading voices in supply chain media and speaks at industry conferences across North America, Europe, and Asia.
