Last episode 3 November 2026. Still going.

We worked that label out on 8 November 2026 from the date of the last episode in the feed. How we do it.

Hosted by Cade Tippett

The Bent Wire is a podcast about the people, technology, business, and future of the orthodontic laboratory industry. Hosted by Cade Tippett, from the youtube channel @RetainerDesigner and a dental laboratory technician with nearly 30 years of experience, each episode explores what’s really happening behind the scenes—from new technology and AI to training the next generation of technicians, running a lab, and preserving the skills that make our industry unique. Expect honest conversations, industry news, interviews, and plenty of opinions from inside the lab.

Nobody starts with a number. We score a page once three independent sources back it up, and this one has 3. They are listed further down. The next scoring run is what turns them into a number.

a blank is honest. a zero would be a lie

How scoring works

Podcasts get the same two numbers as everybody else, worked out the same published way. That has not been run yet, so both read . We are never going to rank these shows on downloads, because nobody publishes a download figure we could check.
