Really enjoy the dynamics of host , as well as topics covered been great and very informative.

Haven’t listened in awhile but the show hasn’t changed. Ben and his ums. Every third word um, and then um. C’mon dude.

Absolutely fascinating and worth the time, very entertaining- the discussion on cutting boards, wow - who knew, apparently every wood scientist but no woodworking editors/authors? Would be interesting to have “Dr. Spalting” do an article or 6.

I enjoy the show every week (I listen in the iOS app, usually). The different perspectives and personalities of the hosts create an hour that is full of superb content, but is also encouraging, relaxing, and gently funny. Speaking of funny, I applaud the addition of Vic Tesolin, whose energy and quick brain are a match for his humor (should I say “humour? I mean, he’s Canadian…). This week, however, having just the “old gang” of Ben, Mike P., and Anissa, was near-perfect. Anissa, who is warm, genial, direct-while-self-effacing, might be my favorite, but the contributions of all the hosts work together to make a show that is both a pleasure to listen to, and instructionally serious about woodworking. [edit] I want to add that it is due to this show that I’ve become aware of the many women woodworkers out there who contribute so much to this hobby/profession. I’m aware, because you give them visibility. [UPDATE 10/04/2024:] I am only through 1/2 of tonight’s episode, but I couldn’t wait to comment on the show. Siri(sp?) is a fantastic guest. Direct, blunt, funny, and IMPORTANT information, which I’m not sure I’d hear anyplace else. This is one episode I might play again, this time on YouTube. Great programming, Ben! Love the podcast, and have adored the magazine for decades. Keep up the good—no, GREAT—work. (Now I gotta Google this guest; she’s great!)
