Ignoring that other post

I am quite amused by the number of "needlework" apps I found in the iTunes
store.

Most are knitting related. Stitch counters, needle size converters and
project diaries. A bunch of quilting apps - though I wondered if the fabric
stash ones would work for other stash. And jewelry one that looked
interesting. Nothing was "free" so I didn't download any to try out.



There are some "podcasts" (think radio shows) that look promising.

Yes, but if you have a non Ipod, you can download radio shows from all
over the world without paying a cent. I simply download to the
computer and transfer to my Sandisk.


Have you got a link to the shows someplace, I'd like to go investigate.

What I would love to find is a place to watch an entire episode of Shay
Pendray or some of the other "craft" shows on PBS. None of the local
stations (PBS) carry them

I download NPR shows from he

I've downloaded a bunch of podcasts from this show and just love them.
Interesting themes and great music:

Does your NPR station carry "The Splendid Table"? I catch a few minutes
of this each Sunday when I'm driving my mom back from church...and
always hungry even before we get in the car, but listening to her
descriptions and recipes makes me absolutely ravenous when I get home! VBG

Don't you download free podcasts to your computer, as well? I don't pay for
most of the stuff I download via iTunes - use it as a tool. Just pay for
apps that ask you to pay for them. Then move whatever to the iPod that we
want to - I'm assuming Cheryl, that's what you do with the iPhone or your
iPod.

The Howard University PBS station here, our 3rd PBS, carries a lot of
stitching and sewing shows - they may have some that are downloadable, or
certainly viewable. I'll try to look around.

Isn't it great - she has a fabulous voice for the food topic, as well. I'm
pretty sure this was where I got inspired into the "450 degree oven" thing -
about just turning it on when you walk in, and then find stuff to throw in
and roast (with drizzled oil, some spices, etc).

I haven't found too many with video... Maybe haven't looked in the right
places.

Love this show. I don't always catch it on the radio, but I'm getting
better remembering to download it and listen to it. Truly a wonderful
source for inspiration in the kitchen.

Plus you get wonderful people on the show like: the Sterns. I have a
huge fondness for Jane and Michael Stern, ever since I bought Square
Meals back in the 80s. It's the stories that go along with the
recipes. I want to be these people - driving around eating at
different places then talking/writing about the experience.

And the new cookbook - the Splendid Table - How to Cook Supper is
wonderful, too!

We get that station but only watch it infrequently. When are they on?

Really early in the morning, and then sometimes mid-day. It's kind of
erratic. If you're interested, I'd check their website and see what it says
for program guide. I'm always happy when I stumble onto one of the shows.

Well, that explains it! Not my key TV-viewing hours. VBG
(Though I do watch a soap at lunchtime that's turning into total dreck,
so maybe I should check out something more uplifting during my lunch
break!)
