Customer Reviews
This show is real
I love Shilo's attitude! She is very no nonsense about her opinions and projects, which is refreshing. A lot of podcasts are super cheerful, and sometimes it seems fake. Of couse I love the fibery talk, but my favorite thing about this show so far is that I just love that Shilo is so real! I'm very excited to see what this show has in store!
Has potential
I think I may like this one. No-nonsense, informative style is fine with me. Music is at the end, so I don't have to listen. That's a plus. Could be a little longer, but I like well enough to subscribe. Thanks!
Radical!!!
Found this podcast goodness from listening to Belle of the Ball! I love the desire to bring back "Radical" and the mention of shiny yarn! Shilo is my kinda girl with humor, honesty and joy for fiber!
