  • A joy to listen to these amazing historical stories

    A friend recommended that I listened to the Haptic and Hue podcasts as I have a background in textiles and I love listening to podcasts. I am blown away by the fascinating stories of things I knew nothing about that are so interesting - so much so I have listened to about 8 episodes in less than a week. Even my husband love the stories! The Canadian Red Cross Quilt story was beautiful and bought me to tears.

  • Can’t get enough

    If someone had wanted to create a podcast JUST FOR ME, about topics I’m interested in, in the style I like, it would be this podcast. I don’t know why it took UNTIL THIS WEEK for me to discover it, but I want nothing more than to binge the whole thing. Bravo!

  • Marvelous! Enlightening!

    I feel like I’ve stumbled into a world I didn’t know existed, and Jo takes me into such interesting places. Authentic, full of warmth and sympathy, and deep appreciation of fibers and the people involved in those fibers.
