Yarnspinners Tales's Podcast

I forgot to hit publish! Sorry about that. So here it is on June 2nd. The promised podcast is below this one on the webpage.

This is a short podcast that I will release on the first of every month. It has all the information about how to find specific episdoes, where to contact me and how to get your very own Spinners' Journal.

I listen to many podcasts and get tired of hearing the podcaster's information over and over before we get to the podcast. I have decided I would put all this information here and release it once a month. If you need the information, just listen in. If you don't, you can just wait for the next podcast.

Happy spinning!
