Pomcast! A knitting podcast from Pom Pom Publishing

Had to respond to the April 4 episode. I love that this podcast takes me to a happy place *and* that they have been willing to speak about racism. Many of us choose to see ourselves as part of a knitting community, which makes it imperative that we address aspects of a community that make any members feel unwelcome or unseen. Thanks, ladies!!

Your magazine and podcast is wonderful but the giggling, tee-here’s and titters really interfere with the content. Please invest in a voice coach! It is really frustrating to listen to this. Ready, Set Knit and Kelly Petkun on Knitpicks are examples of what can be achieved when you are more articulate.

My husband’s job forces me to move a lot, which can be lonely. Sophia and Lydia don’t know it, but they’re the friends who move with me from place to place. We chat about what we are knitting. They introduce me to new and interesting people and ideas that enrich my knitting and my life. They inspire me to try new things. I’ve never had the pleasure of communicating with them in any way, but their easy, comfortable chats make me feel that I’m never a click away from good company with wonderful women.

Sometimes the content is interesting but there is far too much pointless laughter. Things aren’t so very funny to prompt incessant giggling. Can you be more aware and limit the endless bursts of giggles?
