Just listened to the Matt Eastvold episode. As a fellow 50 year old professional maker in Minnesota, it was such a great interview to hear. Pete is an earnest and relatable host and this is my new favorite podcast. I look forward to hearing the next.

I’ve known Pete for a long time, and after listening to With the Grain, I’m convinced he found exactly what he was meant to do. It honestly sounds like he’s been podcasting for years, which is hard to believe since this was his very first episode.
