- Smart, practical, entertaining
This is one of the few podcasts I’ve ever heard that’s fun without being in any way frivolous. The topics and questions are well thought out and hit a huge range of needs and abilities. In many cases, it’s info you simply can’t get anywhere else. If you’re in any way sewing or gear adjacent, this is just a must listen.

It is so great have a resource of real MYOG learners. This pod is not presented in a “I know how to do it…so do this” kind or format. Rather it is from real life trials and learning from mistakes.
This pod makes a community of MYOGers accessible at a distance.
Thanks to you Rippers, It’s so helpful to hear the successes and failures as I am on my MYOG journey!!

So I’ve been through each episode multiple times - one right after another. It doesn’t matter that I’ve heard them all before. I’m going to just keep on listening.
Here are just a few of the reasons I continue to listen to ROTR on repeat:
1. I have learned more than I ever thought I would or could... more
