Customer Reviews
Fascinating!
The episode with Aja Raden was absolutely fascinating! Great conversation and will be really thinking about how we connect with diamonds, emeralds, the color green, and jewels in general. Thank you for a great listen!!
Great content, horrible audio.
Get a proper microphone. In this day and age it’s ridiculously easy. The sound echoes like it was recorded in an empty house using a cheap phone set on a table across the room.
Stoned!
Just listened to the interview w/Aja Raden, author of Stoned. Loved it! Have read the book several times, and she’s just as fascinating an interviewee as she is a storyteller about jewels and why we love them. If you love jewelry be sure to listen to this segment and the entire series.
