Show Notes
An earlier version of this podcast included multiple versions of the introduction. I’m a one-woman show and producing these podcasts is definitely a learning experience, involving several semi-compatible platforms/software tools. I’ve corrected the file.
Please subscribe to my YouTube channel, which includes my textile-history videos as well as podcasts and assorted other material.
I got very few responses to my survey about transcripts and those I received were from people who’d used the Substack version, so I’ll stick to it. Thanks to those who responded.
