*** Callers regularly send in voicemail comments for play on the air to keep the "book club" vibe going. ***

Customer Reviews
So satisfying!
Hello, Nick from NC. Kind of late joining in with this app. But I ever so appreciate the Craftlit app that I listen through Apple podcast. Thank you! I’m listening to books I don’t had time to read presently, or never had the opportunity in my younger years. Right now I’m jumping around from one title to another. I’m currently listening to the Gulliver’s travels series! Thank you for what you do. And thank you for keeping it crafty! I’m a knitter, crocheter and seamstress.
The show has changed
I used to love this podcast. I listened to the entirety of The Count of Monte Cristo, which is no small feat! But in more recent years, the show feels much more negative and not as fun as it used to be.
High praise
I have an annoying particularity when it comes to the sandwiching of story time between discussion. Happily, the host and discussion in CraftLit add to the experience of the texts, and point out great little bits that I would surely have missed had they not been addressed. Thanks!
