I am a regular listener of podcasts and a favourite is Laurie Taylor’s “Thinking Allowed”, from the BBC, where he and his guests discuss current questions relating to sociology
I just listened to an interesting on one on crafts.
Laurie and his two guests,(David Gauntlett and Richard Sennett), discuss various questions
• Does making things really make us happy?
• How does craft contribute to bringing people together?
• How do you create communities?
• What can be considered craft?
You can listen to the show at the link below.

P.S. The second part of the show speaks about fox hunting, so if you have strong views you may want to stop after the craft section.
BTW: There is a Junior Youth craft posting coming soon.

This link on the BBC is fasinating. I really enjoy how it links mondern day craft (making a youtube video) to an older time (making a cathedral.) Thanks for sharing Jim.
