United Kingdom3 years ago This series over promises and under delivers. These topics could make for a very deep dive. Instead it fits around with very little that is not obvious or easily learned by a person who has been paying attention. I really expected something much deeper and with much more unique information.
Podcast Addict33 years agoRealpodaholic- Fascinating!
Well-researched and beautifully presented. I am really enjoying the focus on the fibers, chemistry and production techniques that go into the clothing each episode focuses on. A pleasure to listen to!
