Very interesting!

My first listen to Anna’s podcast and I listened to three in a row. I found this podcast by listening to her as a guest on Alan Alda’s podcast science Clear and Vivid. I am impressed how Anna explores so much of the artist,artisan or crafts person experience and joy in making the objects they do.

This podcast makes me want to know more about materials!

I am a scientist that never had to take a class on material science. Every episode Anna and her guests make me a little bit more informed about the materials that make up everything in the world around me. It's so wonderful to learn about the surprising behaviors of the material that is being discussed in each episode - this podcast is such a great treat!
