Educational and Fun!!
“I recently started listening to The Mud Peddlers and I am really enjoying the knowledge and enthusiasm of Lindsey and Donte! I am a high school ceramics teacher and I am thinking about playing some of these podcasts in my classroom because they are educational and entertaining. I also think these podcasters might bridge the generational gap between my students and I. If you enjoy and value ceramic art and pottery, I highly recommend this podcast!”
Great quality production!
“I started to look for new pottery podcasts because I wanted to listen to one that took podcast production more seriously. This one is excellent. Lindsey says she spends hours on the audio editing, and it totally shows. The production is professional and so greatly appreciated when compared against others. Just binged every available episode in a day.”
so fun - goofy and informative!
“I love these two. I wish I could be more specific, but the obvious friendship and knowledge between these two clay peeps makes me excited to see each new episode in my queue. I hope they stay around for a long time!'“
Something for new and experienced
“I am an established artist and teacher and I find that this podcast is entertaining for me and informative for my students. If you have any interest in entering the field of art and selling your work, especially as a ceramic artist, then this is the podcast for you.”
Loved the podcast
“I really enjoy the podcast format, so this is perfect for me! As someone that’s recently quit my job to pursue a different career I can totally relate to the first few episodes! I have no experience with clay at all, but I love just listening to all of the creative discussions and stories. Looking forward to more episodes!”
Finally! A relatable pottery podcast!
“Donte and Lindsey are fresh, relatable, silly and authentic. I’ve tried to like the other pottery podcast out there.... Zzzzzzzz zzzzzzz. This podcast is entertaining and they talk about things I’m interested in hearing about. Donte is a little rough around the edges (if you listen long enough he will admit it lol)while Lindsey offers a bit of thoughtful class. They dive into why they say things to customers or why they make a business decision in a thought provoking way. They also talk shop about the making process. They are both real and relatable. I feel as if I’m sitting around a campfire with two friends, shooting the pottery breeze. Invite them in while you work in your studio. You won’t be disappointed. To Donte and Lindsey: you guys are awesome. I love hearing both of your perspectives. My only complaint? I can’t be there to join in. My favorite podcast for sure! Way to go guys!”
