Ask the Geeks -
Sam H. asks:
Question not related to this particular episode, but where are you based? I've found you through a Scottish Crafting Podcast list as I've been looking for a local-ish podcast that might showcase UK based designers and yarns from time to time but everything seems to suggest that you're US based so...what's up with that?? Love the concept of the podcast though, more multi-generational, queer crafting please and thank you.
