A Question

KnittingDragon — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:57:00 GMT

Would you all like the Sweaters for Dragons Podcast to continue? I have noticed a decrease in listeners and I have been receiving very little feedback, even when I ask for it.

I will be happy to continue with the podcast if that’s what people want, but I need suggestions: What kinds of tips and tricks would you like, or should I cut out that section? What are some other topics you would like to here about in Babblings (essays)? I’ve done a few interviews. Would you like more?

Please let me know which way you would like this podcast to go. I do this for my listeners, not in order to here my own voice.
