  • Literally googled “how to leave an apple podcast review” to leave this

    I’ve been working through the back catalogue of this podcast and am enjoying it so much! I’m a baby MYOGer and it’s so helpful to have the deep dives on subjects all of people take for granted, like basics about technical fabrics and insulation. I also love when they have guests - other makers or cottage company owners - who bring a fun perspective.
