    Ivy Insights

    The Axe and Iron Podcast is a fantastic podcast that I have been listening to since the very beginning. The hosts, Chris and Roy, have a great sense of humor and their personalities really shine through in each episode. I love how they are able to make me laugh while also providing me with a wealth of information about the craft world. It's the perfect podcast to listen to when I want to pass the time and learn something new.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the incredible guests that Chris and Roy bring on. They cover a wide range of disciplines in the craft world, from blacksmithing to woodworking and everything in between. It's always interesting to hear from these talented individuals and learn more about their craft. Additionally, Chris and Roy are great hosts who know just how to ask the right questions and keep the conversation flowing.

    Another aspect that I appreciate about The Axe and Iron Podcast is the humor that Chris and Roy bring to each episode. They have a great rapport with one another and their banter never fails to make me laugh. It feels like you're sitting in the room with them, just shooting the breeze and having a good time. It's a refreshing break from some more serious podcasts out there.

    If there was one area for improvement, it would be that sometimes I wish there was even more content. Each episode always leaves me wanting more, so it can be tough waiting for the next release. But I understand that quality takes time, so I'm willing to be patient for each new episode.

    In conclusion, I am proud to say that I am a fan of The Axe and Iron Podcast. Chris and Roy are excellent hosts who provide entertaining episodes filled with laughter and learning opportunities. Their dedication to their craft shines through in each conversation, making this podcast an absolute joy to listen to. If you're looking for a podcast that combines humor, knowledge, and incredible guests, look no further than The Axe and Iron Podcast.
