Found this podcast at the exact time I needed it. I’ve only listened to maybe 4 or 5 and not in any order. the one with Paolo Arao being my fave so far. This is all about creativity and inspiration. It is refreshing and much needed to shift the focus away from turning everything into making...Read full review »

I love this podcast. I come to each new episode knowing, for sure, that I will 1) feel blissed out by the tempo and the tenor and the whole vibe that Zak creates with his guests; 2) feel so very awake with inspiration and new ideas to think through; and 3) feel so ready to get back to my own...Read full review »

Oh Zachary (did I spell that correctly?), you are a gift to this planet and most especially to all the artists on it. This podcast is about textiles; their histories, their people and the stories they tell. But also, and maybe more so, its about being human, being soft, being compassionate and...Read full review »

Zack is a treasure. My favorite episodes are his personal ones that are meditations on his work. I am so calmed and inspired, and I love his sweet heart. Bless you, Zak, from this old Southern sewist!

Zak Foster’s explorations of textile art feel like a way to find home, which is deeply comforting. The woods around me are nothing but dark paths right now. It’s nice to know there are places with people sitting by the metaphorical fire, sewing and making and being.

to listen to Zak’s podcast. Each interview I’ve heard contains at least one nugget of goodness that continues to resonate with me long after I’ve listened to it. In particular, I had to write a review after listening to Zak’s interview with Paolo Arao. As a Filipino quilter, I was delighted to...Read full review »

Ep 4. This was the best conversation I’ve heard in a long time related to fibre crafts. I’m just sorry it ended. The discussion around cloth and memory was so true. We’re wrapped in cloth from birth and that made me really think about my own work. I love working with wool and I still have the...Read full review »
