0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister Podcast Network. |
0:10.1 | I am Jonathan Ellsworth, and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing |
0:15.1 | over at blisterreview.com. |
0:19.1 | Now, before we get going here, we are very excited to tell you about our new podcast on |
0:27.2 | the Blister Podcast Network. |
0:29.0 | It is called Crafted, and the good thing is, is that for Gear 30 listeners, I can do this |
0:34.8 | really shorthand. |
0:36.6 | Basically, crafted is like the gear 30 of the |
0:42.1 | craft world, not just sort of snow sports equipment stuff, but this is where we are diving deep |
0:50.0 | into the world of craft and going to be exploring how things actually get made in the world of |
0:58.8 | brewing and distilling and watchmaking and wine making and probably knives, which is a wild one, |
1:07.5 | and I can tell you there are some people in the ski world who are really obsessed |
1:12.4 | with knives, like cutlery stuff. You know who you are. And we're probably going to out |
1:17.2 | you at a later time. And so that's what we're doing. It's kind of the gear 30 of all of these other |
1:22.2 | craft categories. And episode number one is live. That is with new image brewing founder Brandon Capps, |
1:31.1 | and I'm just going to say it again. I have never met anybody in my life that can talk about |
1:37.1 | beer and making beer the way Brandon can't. It's a little bit idiot savant style. And we say that with deep affection here at Gear 30. |
1:46.5 | So please go check out Crafted. I think if you like Gear 30, you are going to love this. |
1:53.2 | Because I know that many of you, like many of us, are very curious about how all these things work in all of these other little worlds that |
2:04.1 | we like, beer and wine, et cetera. So, crafted. Find it. It should be on the website. You can find |
2:11.2 | it on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and whatever Google is calling their thing these days. Google Music or Google Play or Google Podcasts, I don't know, something like that. |
2:21.9 | But go get it, listen to it, tell us what you think. |
