A podcast to make by

I found a podcast so enriching I have to share it. CraftyPod, produced by Portland craft scene queen "Sister Diane" Gilleland, has been inspiring me since I found it last month. She has been interviewing players from the art and craft movement for three and a half years, cultivating the craft climate and creating an incredible resource.

Sister Diane loves my favorite radio show, This American Life, and follows the model of audio editing, an art form of its own, that Ira Glass and his team use on that show. The result is an almost perfect version of the conversation that makes it easy to listen to.

As of now there are 84 episodes with information on everything from knitting to decoupage to how to publish a craft book. They are all available for free through the CraftyPod site, iTunes or another podcast collector. My favorite episode is #79 Crafting with Neckties.

New Crafty Podcast

Hello Craft has started a weekly podcast of crafter's stories. I liked the first two episodes and plan to keep listening. They are requesting contributors.

Podcasts for Sewing Sessions

I listen to podcasts while I sew. I would love if I got comments posted recommending other good podcasts.
Here is what I listen to now:

This American Life: Random people telling their best stories hosted by a smart, charismatic man with a slightly dirty voice. I recommend this to people who like talking to strangers.

Annie's Quilting Stash: A podcast about quilting...and some about the podcaster's family life. Annie pretty much covers the West Coast quilting scene and hands out lots of fun knowledge for quilters. This podcast is absolutely NOT for someone who doesn't love to quilt.
