    Contemporary Weavers
    I turn to this podcast to learn more about contemporary weavers! This is a great listen to discover artists! The focus topics are relevant to worldly issues and I appreciate that the hosts are bringing in a wide range of guests in order to share experiences and knowledge!

    Sad to see this end
    Thanks for all of the great episodes. I’m still working through all that I have not yet listened to. I was sad to hear this would not continue but understand that podcasting takes a lot of time and cost. Wanted you guys to know the information from your previous podcasts is greatly appreciated.

    Not enough about weaving
    I don’t hear anything about the process of weaving here. It’s all about (mostly) women who talk about how they work out their traumas with the art of weaving. But nothing about the specific pieces or how they did them. It should be called something else.

    Feed my soul!
    Thank you for this wonderful podcast. Listening to others discuss fiber arts has provided so much for my soul and practice.

    Sew Fast Sew Easy!
    Ahhh loved hearing the reference to Sew Fast Sew Easy on the Tammi Williams episode! I taught there for 9 years. Fantastic place. It sadly closed awhile back. But great memories and maybe Tammi took my class. Super interesting podcast and I’m so happy I recently discovered it!

    Great resource!
    As I’m trying to break into the fiber industry (researching starting a mill). This has been so inspiring to hear about all these different people from all over carving out creative niches in this time old industry and putting their own spin on it! It’s so encouraging to hear a positive take on this important industry!!! Thank you for all your work to highlight this work!

    I wanted to like it
    After one episode I unsubscribed and deleted from my library. The sound quality needs a lot of work and the delivery was horrible. One of the hosts speaks so slowly in a monotone voice and sounds like she’s reading her script from cards in front of her for the first time. I don’t expect world class talent or production, but these issues were such a distractions it kept me from the content of podcast itself.

    Great content, awful audio
    I really appreciate that this podcast exists and makes an effort to highlight a variety of weavers but the sound quality is terrible. It’s very quiet - nearly impossible to listen to without headphones at the highest volume. There’s often a difference in volume between Sarah and the interviewee, a lot of background noise, and a lot of the episodes sound like they’re talking through tin cans.

    Great weaving podcast
    Thoroughly enjoy Sarah’s interviews and have found countless resources and tips already for a novice weaver. Always look forward to more episodes!

    Educational, inspirational interesting
    I love these podcasts! I listen while I mow as well as when I weave. I’m surprised of all the new things I learn....even if it’s in an area I won’t necessarily pursue. It’s good to know the background story in so much of what we take for granted. Keep it up Sarah! Good work!!!

    Variety in guests, no variety in interview questions
    Love listening to the guests. Can you mix up the format that questions are asked? This is not a podcast good for bingeing as every question is more like a statement and said literally the same way every time. We know you “are curious” but perhaps this can be phrased in different ways?

    Love Love Love the global aspect of this weaving podcast!
    I am learning so much about weaving from around the world from this podcast, also about sustainability. The guests are diverse and they can talk forever as long as I am concerned. Your podcast has made me a more passionate weaver (in Europe). I tell every weaver that I know about this podcast. Also the selection at GIST yarn is a candy shop for weavers. Thank you for giving voice to us weavers around the world.

    Love it!
    I have so enjoyed hearing about all the amazing weavers and fiber artists and as a new weaver this podcast has truly been an inspiration. Thanks!

    Inspiring
    When I first heard about this podcast on weaving, I asked myself how that can even work - all words, nothing to see! But it does work, and all episodes have been a delight so far. It’s inspiring to hear from so many people passionate about fibers and textile art. I’ve especially enjoyed the episodes featuring entrepreneurs.

    Weaver in N.C.
    Thanks to Sarah. Because of your wonderfully informative and entertaining podcast I started and completed a hat this afternoon. I am thrilled to have a weaving podcast to listen that is current as well as focused on the traditional styles of weaving. Thumbs up from a weaver in N.C.

    Too much tapestry weaving
    I’m excited that there’s a weaving podcast available, and a well produced one at that, but I’d really like to hear about more than just tapestry weaving. I’m hoping that future episodes will include more interviews from other types of weavers.
  • yayforreviewing
    Love the guests, keep them talking!
    Love to hear from other weavers about what inspires them! Sarah, you do a great job choosing guests! The only thing I’d like to hear more of is a conversation/banter with the guests instead of firing off question after question :)

    Great quotes every episode
    I have been inspired by every episode so far. I love hearing how each person has come to be a weaver. There have been some fabulous quotes by each quest. Thank you for bringing this to the world.

    Nicely done, but...
    Far too focused on tapestry weaving, which would be great if I had any interest in tapestry weaving. As it is, I have ZERO interest in tapestry. Downloaded this week's episode (Episode 12) and was very disappointed to find yet another tapestry episode. Not sure I'll keep downloading at this point.
  • KristinCrane
    A weaver must listen!
    Definitely a must listen if you're a weaver. Inspiring stories that also talk about technique and different perspectives and approaches to weaving. Love it.
  • Tadopotato
    Nice, wide ranging interview
    I enjoyed the in depth interview with a professional weaver that covered a wide range of topics.
  • DisGirl09
    Finally, a podcast for weavers!
    Listened to the first three episodes one after the other. Really thrilled to hear from a diverse group of weavers with completely different approaches to the craft. Sarah asks great questions and her guests have powerful and inspiring stories! Can’t wait to listen again next week!
