Makers of the USA

Seriously! Kristan does an awesome job really digging into the stories of these makers. You can really tell she’s passionate about helping them share their craft with the world. It’s great to explore the rest of the “Makers” world she’s building through videos, social media, local markets…she’s out there being the change! Listen and subscribe!

Kristan’s genuine interest in crafts and makers comes through in these podcasts. She asks great questions, and makers give in-depth answers providing background and insight into their passions. A valuable resource.

These are such fun and interesting podcasts! Every time I listen to one, I have the urge to get whatever cool thing they’re talking about. Razor handles - must have; super cool candles - shut up and take my money; Sailing on a big ol’ ship - yo ho ho! It’s so neat to learn about others forging their own path and chasing their own passions. Even if I don’t get into everything I hear about, I’m darn sure more interesting at cocktail parties: “Oh, did you hear about the woman that does this super cool thing with this really neat stuff? No?! Well, let me tell you ALL about it.” The host is so into it too. That’s key. With her asking such curious questions, and the guests being sparked into neat stories about their work, it’s a fun ride from start to finish. And the music! Name another podcast where the end isn’t the end. Kristan finds such neat musicians. You can tell she’s so passionate about Makers. She finds every opportunity to bring attention to interesting Makers. It’s a very curated, enjoyable podcast!

It takes so much to run a small business and the creative people behind them should be rewarded. They are the ones that create the community we need so badly. Nicely done podcast!
