- Long but entertaining
I like this podcast it’s a little long with a lot of rambling but interesting that it’s pottery related. I like to listen while I work or in my car. I assume they don’t have kids because there is a ton of cursing and unfortunately can’t listen to this with my children in the car.

I want to note that I love the new maker of the moment segm... more
Apple Podcasts5Three Lick PotteryUnited States7 months ago If you're interested in clay at all- you should listen to this potcast. I find Becca to be so relatable, and I really admire her adventurous spirit and unwillingness to be anything but who she is! It has been really interesting to hear how she has shifted gears over time and blazed her own path- what a cool journey to follow! Ryan seems very calm, organized, and goal oriented, which I really respect. I have learned a lot from both of them. Together, they have a real yin-yang thing going on th... more

I love the different styles between both of them. Sometimes I see the type A elements that I have in Ryan, and my chaotic energy in Becca. They make it very relatable and interesting. I am absolutely loving the new featured artists.
