What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Arlin is a wonderful host. She has a lyrical voice that is a pleasure to listen to, and the details that she shares about life in Indonesia are absolutely fascinating to a Westerner, like me. She also shares helpful and intriguing insights about her knitting. I have been listening to all of the back episodes, and can't wait until the next one is released. Thanks for a great podcast, Arlin!

BlueChinaDoll · Jul 2014

It's probably biased of me to leave a really great feed back because I'm Indonesian. However I do love this podcast not because she's in Indonesia but because her podcast is never boring. Awesome English structure and grammar. Her voice is soothing to listen to. When she gives a view of Indonesia culture, she has knowledge of the culture and tells it as it is even with sensitive subjects. I'm actually glad someone made a knitting podcast from Indonesia because living in US for so long, sometimes I forgot how it is like back in Indonesia. I'm glad to know that knitting is popular in Indonesia even if it's a hot tropical country.

rjrahardjo · Jun 2014

This review is long overdue as I have been listening to Arlin from the beginning. I always look forward to what she has to say whether it is about knitting or her life in Indonesia. Arlin brings a unique perspective to knitting and is very active in the Ravelry community. Her voice is excellent and the sound quality is great. Thank you for entertaining me on my morning walks, Arlin!

Knitting Pipeline · May 2014

The Lost Geek podcast is one of the four podcasts I always listen to as soon as it downloads. I love to hear about the knitting and spinning being done by the host, Arlin, who lives in Jakarta. My most favorite podcasts are both fun to listen to and to learn from. Arlin usually includes some interesting information about life in Jakarta or in her part of the world. She takes a unique, geeky spin as she delves into fiber topics, which means it is some really fun analysis! She is fun to listen to, and the sound quality is good (which means I can listen in the car). I’d recommend this podcast for knitters and spinners who like to travel and like to learn.
