What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is my favorite woodworking podcast. (But please don’t tell Logan that). John, Logan and Phil make me feel like I am having coffee with pals. The banter is great, and the bits of knowledge and hearing people talking about things they are passionate about is always great. The recurring ShopSmith related smack talk is hilarious. I am fond of the magazines these gentlemen produce as well as the television show. Keep up the good work.Thanks!

I love listening to these folks while doing my morning exercise routine. It’s kind of like sitting in a diner having morning coffee with a few old friends. No, it’s not always about strictly woodworking, but neither is life, and the tangents are usually somewhat related. They make the miles on the treadmill go by faster.

I walk everyday 3-5 miles everyday and these guys keep me company. Good information and enjoyable to hear others have some of the same problems and solutions to this wonderful hobby. I llok forward to each release.

Ken K from Cinn · Dec 2021

By far, the best woodworking podcast available! These guys are unpretentious and very down-to-earth in there explanations and tips for woodworking. I look forward to listening to this podcast while driving around(as a project manager for a general contracting company). I have been a carpenter since I was 16 years old (23years and counting...) and I am in the process of setting up my own, first wood shop. I’m in the process of outfitting an oversized, two car garage (26’x27’) in my first home. The tips, pointers, trade secrets, discussions, topics, and humor expressed throughout this podcast helps me to become a better woodworker. Much appreciated and keep up the good work! You guys rock!

PolishMatt82 · Apr 2021

I tried, I really did. I have listened for over a year but can't take it anymore. I had hoped for an educational audio podcast from an established wooodworking publication, but it's just three guys jabbering on about themselves. They pick a woodworking topic but it's just their personal stories without any meat behind it. I do not question each member's expertise as the magazine is professional and educational, unfortunately it does not translate to the podcast. My biggest issue is that the show is three-quarters Logan jabbering on about himself. He pretty much takes over each podcast he is in, hense the title - "The Logan Show". I had hoped being a woodworking magazine podcast that there would be more education and perhaps some Q&A. It has become tiresome and time to move on.
