Discovered this Craftcast while searching for design related podcasts. I really enjoyed Alison's interview with Holly Becker from Decor8. Super interesting, revealing & inspiring! As Arnold would say, "I'll be back".

I have subscribed to many of the podcasts out there and this is by far the best. The quality is so good that it feels like I am in the same room. And Alison? What can I say, she speaks to us like she is an old friend who just stopped by for a chat. She does not read from a script, just talks...Read full review »

Alison talks to a wide variety of people involved in many different aspects of crafting, art, design and creativity. Even if you don't find one specific topic relevant, the next one could be just for you. And the conversation is always entertaining, whether she is talking with a guest, sharing...Read full review »

Alison is a fantastic interviewer! Guests always comment on it, and so I started to pay close attention to try to figure out what Alison does differently. It turns out attention is the key - she pays attention to her guest and what they are saying. She doesn't run down a list of questions, she...Read full review »

A great podcast for any level of crafter. It's become a must-have for my commutes. Alison's interviews always have solid information, plus a dynamic format that includes music and book reviews. Definitely worth downloading!

After reading the other comments posted here, I may reconsider my initial reaction to delete all the Craftcast sessions I downloaded. Tried to listen to two of them this morning but was quite turned off by the amount of time wasted (in my opinion) at the beginning with personal chatter. I am a...Read full review »

i listen to many podcasts on my ipad while traveling in the car or with the sewing machine going. i can hear all the rest of the podcasts well but yours is so low with the volume all the way up i can't hear. i enjoyed the podcasts when i can hear it - can you turn up the broadcast?

I have listened to your podcast for a long time. I am facinated by the kinds of crafts you discuss. I do not do most of them, but it's still interesting to learn about them. I really enjoyed the conversation with Zak and I enjoy hearing about your son's latest work. Thanks for all of the...Read full review »

Excellent podcast! Informative, and covering a wide range of crafting subjects with expert guests. I like to listen whilst crafting, and always end up jotting names and websites down as there is so much of interest to follow up!

I love the variety of crafters and artists that she interviews. Her interview style is very natural, she asks the questions I would ask if I had the chance to speak with these people. Alison Lee, the host, provides just enough of herself to make you feel like you're listening to a friend, but not...Read full review »

Listening to this podcast makes me so happy. I think we are soul mates as everything you like I like...sometimes I laugh the wholetime and other times I can't wait to get my rocks out or my paints or waterever you are talking about but it usually is in the middle of the sleepless night and I just...Read full review »

This podcast is like having a knowledgable friend with you in the studio. A must for those who desire to be among creatives. The guest artists are facinating and Alison Lee is a hoot!

Just listening to an epsiode of Craft Cast is like a shot in the arm of creativity. Time flies when I am working and listening! Love it!
claudine - collageartist.com via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/10
Alison's pod cast is excellent, very relaxed a professional! She covers so many areas in the crafting world, and is very comprehensive. Excellent interviews with professional artisans. Craft book reviews, with full links to her website. A great music section, introducing new performers to the...Read full review »

I have been listening to Craftcast for about a year and it is one of my favorite podcast. I love the interviews and diversity of interviewees interviewed by Alison. The show is truly inspirational in creating something yourself.
smaple via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/10
Good crafting podcast. Each week Alison Lee interviews an artist/maker about their work and influences. She is obviously an artist maker herself and invariably brings out something of interest even if guest's work is something you previously wouldn't be interested in. Alison also mentions books...Read full review »

Great info and wonderful interviews
SpiritnSoul via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/03/09
Alison is awesome! Listening to her podcast and interviews never fails to inspire me, no matter what the craft/technique/topic. It applies to ALL creative endeavors. Great exposure to alternative music, too. Thanks Alison!
dujyt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/25/09
My only complaint that Alison's shows go way too fast. I know it's selfish, but I'd like her to be on more often and longer!
olivamoon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/19/09
Awesome shows lately! (Not that they're not always awesome, but I've especially liked the past few!) Thank you for making such an informative and well-produced podcast!
{Amy_Jane} via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/13/09
Alison is so very inspiring. I listen to hear what she is doing and then get to hear what other artist/craftspeople are doing. I am striving to become a full time craftsperson/designer-maker and maybe instructor. Just hearing other people talk about what they are working on that are on the same...Read full review »

I'm so excited because I finally bought myself an iPod and this podcast is one of the first things I downloaded. I love your show! I love how you interview your guests (you ask all the right questions). Today I listened to show 100 with Tracy Bautista and it was so insightful. I could go on and...Read full review »

I recently discovered the Craftcast podcasts and wow! It's been great to go through the archives, listening to past interviews, book reviews, product reviews, tips, and music. We do a lot of 2-hour road trips; clearly I need to invest in the device to play my iPod through the car speakers so...Read full review »
Artists 1&2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/24/09
I recently got my first iPhone and never having had an iPod or iPhone before, I had no idea what I was missing by not having access to some really great information, the top of which is Alison Lee's fantastic "CraftCast" podcasts. I was a bit skeptical at first but was I ever in for a treat! I...Read full review »

This podcast is a great mix of both Fine Artists and Crafters being intereviewed. I also like a taste of new music that Alison pops in there. She gives a nice mix of information that usually makes me check her website to find out more about. The book section is really helpful.
cre8ivity101 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/07/09
Very easy to listen to. Alison interviews a different artist / crafter each week and they talk about their work, techniques, business and the design processes they go through. She covers many subjects and is always enthusiastic and talks about her own latest projects too. Its interesting to look...Read full review »

I'm sure I'm a little late to the party but VERY glad to have arrived. This podcast is so great! I am still getting caught up listening to the older shows. Well spoken. Warm and inviting. Thanks Alison for all the wonderful interviews with the leaders in our craft realm. The education and...Read full review »

This show keeps me from going crazy at work! Really, I look forward to it every week and have been happily checking out the archives. Alsion has become like a friend.

**Craftcast has been my square of dark chocolate every afternoon at work.** I work on a computer all day but constantly listen to my MP3 player. My hands and eyes are busy (just like someone said on your show) but my brain wasn't. I'm so inspired to restart my craft of choice (quilling, yep)...Read full review »

Not only does Alison have interesting guests, she asks them intelligent questions which will HELP YOU - the creative person, flourish! Her show is fun, enlightening and inspiring all rolled into one. Love it!
cherylol via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/23/07
Such great conversations with creative types. A lot of topics are covered; some of the mechanical stuff and interesting tidbits about particular arts/crafts, but mostly it's about the mindset of the artist and how we really are alike. Lovely, inspiring show.Read full review »

I find such inspiration in the interviews that Alison conducts. Other podcasts I have listened to have been too long and rambling. Alison keeps things on track, and leaves you wanting more. I feel like I have had a chance to get inside the heads of some amazingly talented people and better...Read full review »

I almost didn't subscribe because of the interviews with the pros. I'm so glad I changed my mind! I have listened to 29 episodes in three settings and have heard at least one comment (suggestion, tip, or otherwise) in each episode that has been a keeper. I'll be listening to many a second and...Read full review »
