Pod Casts!

Posted in: General Chatter

I was fiddling around on my computer yesterday and accidently opened Itunes. I have had it on my computer for awhile and was subscribed to the Tim Gunn podcast for Project Runway for the last couple of seasons. I had been listening to the podcast directly from the bravotv website for season 3, though, and hadn’t been in Isongs for quite awhile.

Well I figured that since it was open I might as well see what I can find. What I really wanted was to get episodes of Knitty Gritty, since my cable company does not have the DIY network. They aren’t available, unfortunately, but in the process I found all kinds of audio podcasts about knitting!

I listened to a bunch of them, the popular ones seem to have dropped off in the last couple months. I can only imagine the amount of work these folks put into thier shows.

Here are some that I subscribed to,

  • Math4Knitters - cool nuts and bolts discussion of the math involved in knitting. I havn’t listened to all of them yet but the first couple were pretty interesting.
  • KnitCast - Very cool designer interviews. This one will be on my regular listening list
  • Knitting News Cast - Had been coming out regularly and included lots of talk about knitting events, book, yarns, etc. Hope to see it active again!

I have a few that I have on my list to listen to over the next few days, also

if anyone knows of any other good ones, particuarly those that do product reviews and designer interviews, I’d love to hear about them!

    Your smiley’s are broken on this page.

    BUT I am really commenting to tell you that Lime and Violet is VERY popular on the KH boards. I believe I’ve told you about my inability to concentrate, so I’m out on listening to podcasts, so I can’t speak personally about them.
