    I don’t know why it took me a year to get around to listening to podcast episodes, but it’s great. Good hosting, great energy and all around nice to listen to while writing, working, driving or making.

  • Thank you, RBTR!

    If I say that I’ve listened to each episode of Ripstop on the Record once through, it would be a lie. I listen ALL the time. Seriously. All. The. Time. On. Repeat. They’re always on when I’m sewing. So I’ve been through each episode multiple times - one right after another. It doesn’t matter that I’ve heard them all before. I’m going to just keep on listening.

    Here are just a few of the reasons I continue to listen to ROTR on repeat:

  • Literally googled “how to leave an apple podcast review” to leave this

    I’ve been working through the back catalogue of this podcast and am enjoying it so much! I’m a baby MYOGer and it’s so helpful to have the deep dives on subjects all of people take for granted, like basics about technical fabrics and insulation. I also love when they have guests - other makers or cottage company owners - who bring a fun perspective.
