    a truly superior pottery podcast!

    Rebecca is amazing! With honesty, forthrightness and intelligence, she combs the pottery world and finds those who are not only very experienced but also those who have recently started. She is skilled as an interviewer. I have found her podcast one of the few that I listen to from beginning to end!

    Amazing collection

    Amazing collection of interviews with a wide range of makers. Mostly focused on ceramic arts, but so much also applies to makers in all fields, including my work in textiles. I really appreciate Rebecca’s thoughtful questions and curious mind.
