Now I may have no business doing a blog as a woodworker. I am by many opinions an old man as well as someone who has just gotten serious about woodworking, but I want to use this blog to give my thoughts on what’s going on in the woodworking world and maybe help some others who are “set in their ways” to open there minds to the tons of material available to them on the web.
Matt Vanderlist, who has hosted Matt’s Basement Workshop for years as well as being one of the dynamic duo of Woodtalk Online along with Marc Spagnuolo of The Wood Whisperer fame, is the creator of the Spoken Wood podcast (http://mattsbasementworkshop.com/spoken-wood-podcast/). In Matt’s words this is “a show dedicated to bringing to life the writings of some of my favorite woodworking bloggers on the internet.” After only six episodes he is doing just that. Matt is bringing some of woodworking big hitters’ blogs to one location where we can listen to them on our way to work, while we work in the shop or wherever you take your IPod. Just this morning I listened while I worked on a quote at my 9-to-5 job. The podcasts are short, interesting and to the point. You will hear blogs by the likes of Christopher Schwarz (“the Schwarz), Ron Hock, Tom Iovino just to name a few. Many feature the authors themselves.
These podcasts can only get better and I encourage anyone in the woodworking community to check them out. That’s it for now!

Cool, I still haven’t added this to my routine yet. Glad it’s working out for Matt.
