Makers Broadcast

I liked that it was just the maker speaking. I really connected with what they had to say. I hope the podcast starts up again.

A fascinating series offering crafts men and women, makers, a centre stage and a platform from which to share their own transformational creative lives and journeys. If I had the opportunity to start a podcast all over again this is how I would have approached it: hear stories about creativity and the mental courage that comes with leading a creative life from the makers themselves. Refreshing, insightful and delightful; most of all, inspirational.

This is a refreshing and confident piece of media, there is no unnecessary chit chat from the producer, it is just a flow of thought from the maker in question about their work, methods, struggles and associated thoughts. There is no agenda but neither does it wander aimlessly around with random and unnecessary comments. It’s lean but rich, very easy to listen to, and a great insight into the inner workings of creative people. My one issue is that the sound levels can sometimes be a bit erratic but I mention this to be a positive contribution.

Featuring real makers, artisans and crafters. Really beautifully produced, giving the artists a platform to tell wonderful and personal stories that open ideas and inspire you along the journey.
