  • The on-going rant

    Wendy is a pretty good interviewer and I love getting to know other artist stories. But SOOOO tired of Wendy ranting about Instagram and algorithm changes. Girl change happens. Adjust.

  • You lost me when you dissed YouTube

    You obviously have not seen the millions of artists on the Youtube community.

    Not EVERYTHING is on Instagram and many artists are leaving it.

    I loved listening to this Podcast. You ladies talked about so many wonderful topics. You are two dynamic women! I did not want the discussion to end. Barb, I was inspired by your journey and all that you offer for your community. I have long loved the artistic creativity and the soft feel of the age old making of quilts. Wrapping myself in a hand created quilt was like a giant hug. I tried cutting and making quilts but lost patience. Instead I used to watercolor paint large images on watercolor ... more

  • Calling out is not the answer

    I listened to your podcast with Sarah. It made me feel absolutely horrible. I am so angry and resentful. I feel personally attacked. Making a podcast just to call people out is awful. I recommend you do some work on your white privilege and microaggressions and consider taking Loretta Ross’s online class on calling in vs. calling out. I wish you well.

  • Interesting but…

    I really enjoy listening to the artists and learning about how they think and create. Fascinating topics! The only thing that bothers me is the host’s habit of constantly interrupting the guests, often mid-sentence.

  • Me too!!

    I so enjoyed your podcast with Marie! Since I can relate to feeling under pressure to DO all the art. I especially appreciated you saying you don’t have to do ALL the classes. I really enjoy Wanderlust 2021 but I have only done 14 of them and felt like I wasted money and was a bit of a failure. But it made my heart lighter when you reminded me what a bargain the classes are! So true! And if you only do or get something out of some of them it’s still a bargain and we’ll worth it. Thank you Wend... more
