This is such a lovely podcast. Lyndsey is a great interviewer (such a soothing voice) and asks great questions that help make each episode interesting and informative. I found it a brilliant inspiration for my own creative practice and it makes me want to get on and make work. Lot of really helpful tips too about running your own artisan business, with the personal touch of the makers sharing their stories.
An Inspiring Listen

This is a great podcast for people who want to shop with maximum benefit and minimum impact. Shopping locally from independent makers and creators has to be the way forward, but who are these people?! Looking forward to the next episode.
