Commuter Knitter Podcast

Last week I shared my list of audio podcasts that keep me company as I drive to and from work, so this week it is only fitting that I pass along my list of video podcasts.  As anyone who follows video podcasts knows, there has been quite the issue with the primary hosting site that many of our favorite shows have used.  This has caused some shows to leave iTunes and other podcatchers for YouTube only.  A slight adjustment in the way we can enjoy these shows, but if they are worth the watch, then I can deal with what at first seemed like a bit of an inconvenience (says this creature of habit!) Podcasts I watch through iTunes (on my Apple TV) Anatomy of Knitting Caffeinated Knitting Dark Matter Knits A Down Under Yarn Dramatic Knits The Dyer's Notebook The Fat Squirrel Speaks The Fearless Knitter Fiber by Design The Fiberista Files Fibretown Geeky Girls Knit GnomeAcres Podcast The Good Yarn Guide A Homespun House Hudson Valley Knits In a Sknit Knit1, He...

Lately, I have been posting photos on Instagram to share the audio podcasts that have been keeping me company on my (long) drive to and from work.  Many have commented that they have found new shows to listen to, or were even inspired to start listening to podcasts altogether thanks to my sharing these photos.  Since it the list is too long for an Instagram comment (although I tried!), I thought it'd be a great idea to update the list that I had posted awhile back to add in the new or new-to-me shows that have made the rotation on my Downcast app.  The list has grown quite a bit!

I owe you all an episode - back to mid-week recording later this week. I had every intention of recording on my way home from CT Sheep & Wool on Saturday; however when one does not attend said festival, one cannot possibly record on the way home. Too many places to be, spread out too far across our relatively tiny state. Where is a teleporter when you need it?  In the meantime, how about a blog post? One day last week I posted this photo on Instagram, noting that I was glad to have my phone filled with podcasts to keep me company.  My commutes have been just awful last week and today, too. I follow about 35 audio podcasts fairly regularly; however for many I had fallen woefully behind. I sync my iPhone to my computer with the preferences set that it keeps the 3 most recently unplayed episodes for each podcast on the phone.  Then when I periodically sync the phone it will remove the played episodes and replace them with any other unplayed episodes. This has worke...
