Customer Reviews
Love Portland? Love This.
Dude. This podcast is awesome. It's so awesome that when I looked up its description only to see no reviews had been written I HAD to step in. Subscribe, you won't regret it, especially if you love anything NPR-- this chick knows what she's doing.
An amazing podcast! I have been listening for about a year and wish she broadcast here (in L.A.)
A year ago I was surfing for DIY projects and found this gem of a podcast instead. The podcasts have given me a down to earth and loving look at humans doing what comes naturally to humans: creating. Especially now, in a world increasingly cynical about any endeavor not connected to fame or cash, this podcast is a breath of fresh rain-sweetened air. Thank you Ms. Sabatier.
What happened?
I love this show, I really love it. Where did it go? Please don't tell me we're chalking up another promising podcast to the deadcast bin? This show is just too good for that.
