  • Lovely people

    Listening to Jimmy, David and Bob talk about making, problem solving and life in general has been a highlight of my week for many years. They are full of information and inspiration in every episode. They usually start out with nothing to talk about and then talk about that for about an hour. 🤣

    If you’re looking for a podcast that will embolden your maker spirit, this is the one!

  • A 1.5 man show

    Complete with host, Jimmy Diresta, and two other guys who Jimmy might allow to speak every once in a while. But not in complete sentences. A show with Jimmy’s funny stories, decades of experience, and solutions no one asked for for other people’s problems.
