A non-traditional makers podcast with 3 friends, a few swears and the occasional guest. Why are you reading this. Just listen already. It’s great
The Fools With Tools Podcast is one of the best podcasts out there for anyone interested in the maker community. From the very first episode, I was hooked and it quickly became one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. What sets this podcast apart is not only the entertaining banter between the hosts, but also their ability to pick interesting topics and engage listeners to form their own opinions.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the chemistry between the hosts. It's clear that they are good friends and their camaraderie shines through in every episode. Their conversations feel like you're sitting with a group of friends, chatting about life and making. The humor and laughter are infectious, and it's always a good time listening to them riff off each other.
Additionally, the topics chosen for each episode are engaging and thought-provoking. Whether it's discussing different techniques, sharing personal stories, or exploring challenges faced by makers, there is always something interesting to learn from each episode. The hosts have a knack for diving deep into these topics while still keeping things lighthearted and fun.
However, one downside to this podcast is its occasional use of strong language. While I personally don't mind it, some listeners may prefer to avoid explicit content or have children around while listening. It would be great if there were warnings or edited versions available for those who prefer a cleaner listening experience.
In conclusion, The Fools With Tools Podcast is an absolute gem for anyone who enjoys making or being part of the maker community. The hosts' charming personalities and genuine passion make each episode enjoyable and informative. Whether you're looking for inspiration or simply want to join in on some entertaining conversations about making, this podcast is definitely worth a listen.
