Customer Reviews
Exceptional podcast: brilliant and fascinating
Skilled interviewing of fascinating guests with great stories to tell. Love this.
Fascinating
Brilliant podcast series with varied themes, Carol Woolton is a brilliant interviewer and the topics are fascinating. Not just for those interested in jewellery, but fashion, art, history and culture too. I love it!
Insightful and entertaining
Carol interviews jewellery insiders with such thoughtfulness that it draws out fantastic insights and is incredibly entertaining.
I would love the microphone to be flipped one day and for someone to interview Carol herself, so that we can learn from her wealth of experience!
