  • Most Excellent!!

    I have listened to CraftLit for years - I believe I began during Jane Eyre, but I’ve listened to so many books and episodes I can’t remember. I have been exposed to many more classics than I would have without CraftLit - and have been richly rewarded by not only the content of the books, but also by author background, subtle humor, historical settings/politics/sociology, and so much more. Heather does not spoon feed - she teaches, challenges and inspires further research into so many topics rela... more

    I simply adore this podcast! So many good books and fun conversations. I learn so much every time! I started listening as a way to hear my favorite book, the Count of Monte Cristo, and have since loved the show! Thank you Heather and team:)

  • Wonderful!

    I do many crafts, but primarily cross stitch and embroidery. I can’t read and stitch, so in comes the podcast. I found CraftLit one sleepless night when my insomnia was getting the best of me. My mental health is terrible, and the podcast was just what the doctor ordered. I fell in love with the podcast from the start, and get excited when a new episode drops!

  • Smart!

    I’ve been listening since Tale of Two Cities. Heather is warm, witty, and insightful. The serial delivery of both known and forgotten novels allows for “teaching” and listening time so the episodes stay at the hour-or-less mark. One of only two podcasts still around from 2006-07 and in my weekly downloads.
