I was on the road for work yesterday for a significant part of the day. When I drive, I listen to all sorts of things, but I really enjoy listening to podcasts downloaded from iTunes.
In December, I downloaded several episodes of YarnCraft, a podcast sponsored by Lion Brand Yarn. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to listen to it until yesterday, so I listened to a holiday episode way after the holidays, but that didn't really make a difference in my enjoyment of the show.
I was really interested in how they would make knitting and crochet interesting in an audio-only format. I'm not sure what I expected, but what I heard was surprising.
Aside from the very poor audio quality (which I found strange because one would think that Lion Brand would be able to sponsor something a little clearer; heck, I could make a clearer audio), the podcast had me laughing within 5 minutes. I wasn't laughing because it was particularly funny, but because it reminded me of the Saturday Night Live skit, The Delicious Dish. Here's one of my favorites:
No, the gals on YarnCraft didn't talk about Scweddy Balls, but they had that same low key, almost deadpan delivery as Molly Shannon and Ana Gasteyer on SNL. But I don't think they were trying to, and that's what made me laugh.
In spite of the monotone delivery and the poor audio quality, I still enjoyed the podcast. Apparently, I am very easily entertained.
