just when i think i cannot love this pod more you give us the episode on cambodian textiles. thank you!
I really enjoy this podcast, Isabella Rosner is knowledgeable and entertaining and that is a difficult trick to pull off. Her guests are fascinating and well chosen. She makes the best of them and gets them to articulate thoughts and information abut a variety of subjects that can’t be found in many other podcasts.
This is a great podcast for needleworkers, textile enthusiasts.
When I’m sewing, love to listen to this most informative podcast. The commentary & interviews are well researched... thx for the time you take on this subject
History + textiles/needlework + the people behind them = a winning podcast. I love the topics and interviews and always learn something new (like the collaboration between Amish and Hmong women needleworkers).
