Customer Reviews
Interesting and well made
I work as a pipe fabricator for a large company and I am fortunate enough to be able to use headphones at work. I like hearing about other trades and to get a first person take from people who are in specific trades. I don’t know what I like more, my Brunt boots or the podcast. Thanks guys, keep ‘em coming.
Doing the Lord’s work
We need more voices like this to get the world re-dedicated to the trades!
