It’s wonderful to hear the story and creative processes of so many artists!!! Thank you!!!

Paul is so friendly, easy to listen to - and such a cheerleader to the Ceramic Arts. He’s a voice to keep every potter company in their studios and beyond!

Listening to Paul is like listening to an old friend. He features a wide range of guests from the well known rock stars in the field to hobbyists to up and coming beginners who are just figuring it out. If your curious about how to actually make a living in pottery or even just keep it as part of your lifestyle, this podcast is for you. This show isn’t just for the pottery greats to brag about how awesome they are- it’s real stories about real people who love making pottery. I look forward to each and every episode.

I love the podcast! So down to earth, really connecting with artists and discussing meaningful topics!

Always a pleasure to listen and learn about the many talented and diverse people who love ceramics and clay!

I’ve been listening for years while working in the studio- I always enjoy learning about creatives who are new to me, and definitely have picked up a tip here and there. Thank you for this gift to the pottery making community!

I really enjoy listening to this podcast while I’m working in my studio! I always learn something new and I like hearing about the varying experiences of the guests that are interviewed on the podcast. Paul is a great interviewer which I know from listening to the show but also from personal experience when he invited me to join him on episode 1,096 of The Potters Cast! He really puts his guests at ease. I also like hearing the book recommendations at the end of the episodes too.

We’ve been listening to this podcast for years & were blown away when Paul asked to interview us. It was an absolute pleasure - Paul is just as kind and easy to talk to off air as he is on the pod. It was a great experience sharing our trajectory into pottery over the past few years & we’re so grateful to Paul for bringing us into his world. In terms of our overall love for the podcast itself, it is so special to get a glimpse into the lives of the potters he interviews. It’s interesting to see how someone came to (or fell into) making pottery, where in the world they create & who they are as people. Paul is a great conversationalist and is able to create an inviting, comfortable space where interviewees can share a bit more about themselves & their creations.

So many wonderful stories and amazing journeys. I love it!

A big thank you to Paul for creating this fantastic show! It is so interesting, inspiring and entertaining. The best part is how engaged and soft spoken the host is which makes for easy listening. This podcast has a big personality which separates and elevates it from all the others and keeps you coming back for more. Through thick and thin Paul keeps the episodes rolling and for that we are deeply grateful. 🌸

My mom was on the podcast :D

I had the pleasure of being on the show and cannot express enough about how welcoming, supportive and professional Paul was during our visit. He is so easy to chat with and it was an excellent experience for me. I’ve been listening to the podcasts for years and it was a bucket list item to be part of it. Love the Potters Cast!

Dear Paul, I had to pull over and write this message because I just started listening to your 1,000th episode of The Potters Cast. I wanted to take a moment to say how much your podcast has meant to me over the years. As someone who has loved ceramics for 25 years but hasn't always had the opportunity to practice, your podcast has been my lifeline to the world of ceramics. Your interviews with ceramic artists and potters of all backgrounds have inspired me and made me feel like there's a place for me in the ceramics community. Your work has been a major factor in my decision to start a position at a university in a ceramics program, and I cannot thank you enough for that. You've brought the joy of ceramics into my life and the lives of countless others. Thank you for all that you do, and here's to another 1,000 episodes of The Potters Cast! Sincerely, Justine Stokes Long Island, NY

I always come away from the podcast with a new kernel of pottery wisdom that I incorporate in my practice of pot-making.

Paul does a great job interviewing different artists asking compelling and interesting questions. Really enjoyed being interviewed on his podcast. We had tons of fun and covered many great and interesting topics.

Paul is the best! He creates a dialogue that makes the interview feel like we’ve known each other as if we were old friends catching up. Thank you for inviting me to be on your show! I wish you the best in your recovery!

What fun podcast! Best wishes to Paul that your life and body recover well. Lots of love to you

What a great podcast - Paul does a wonderful job at cultivating interesting conversations by asking thoughtful and insightful questions that help reveal each artist’s unique story. Lots to learn here, and plenty of inspiration, too! No wonder this podcast has been going so long, one to add to favorites for sure.

I’ve been an avid listener of this podcast for many years and have gained so much insight from so many talented ceramicists that Paul had interviewed over the years. Paul is a gifted interviewer who always not only a lovely voice but always has such thoughtful insightful questions. This podcast is a wonderful resource and delight for anyone interested in ceramics, in any stage of their journey. It was a dream of mine to be on the show and I’m thrilled to have been interviewed recently!

As a practicing ceramicist- I always find myself learning new things while listening to this podcast. The show is encapsulating the whole ceramic movement of our generation and Paul is an amazing host.

From long time listener to eventually being interviewed - Paul is great at what he does. Love the show and honored to be apart of it!

I really enjoyed being on the potters cast I was nervous and excited at the same time Paul’s questions were really great.

Interesting and informative!

This episode was fun and informative, really enjoyed it.

It was such a good experience being on Paul's show and I've enjoyed many of the other episodes. It's great hearing about real working potter's in all stages of their careers. Lots of helpful conversations about how to create a life as a potter/craftsperson and lots of unique practical tips about the business and making of pottery.

I’ve been listening to The Potter’s cast for years, and have enjoyed having Paul and so many wonderful ceramic artists visit me virtually via this wonderful medium of Podcasting to my ears. Paul is such an engaging interviewer and a delight to listen to, he truly loves his work and it shows in his excitement to share with us all of these wonder pottery people! I love hearing about other potter’s source of inspiration, their journeys, different new ways to market/sell and getting some tips and tricks along the way. It was truly and honor to be invited to be an interviewee on The Potter’s Cast! Paul immediately put me at ease, and it was like chatting with a dear friend. Great conversation! I look forward to listening to you for many years to come! Keep up the good work Paul!

I can't believe it took me so long to listen to The Potters Cast! Paul is an amazing interviewer and each episode he continues to blow my mind with his thoughtful questions! Without staged Q & A you really get a chance to know the artist in each episode on a more personal level. Sometimes we forget the face behind the maker but this podcast humanizes all of us in the best way! Keep up the good work Paul!

I’ve been listening and enjoying The Potters Cast for a while so I was super excited to be able to participate as a guest! Grateful for the enthusiasm and genuine interest Paul brings to every episode. I love hearing about the practice and passions of fellow makers. And so many great book recommendations!

Paul’s podcast helps me remain “reminded” of my true passion to make meaningful work and gives me hope to get in the studio that week to help me get back to myself. Thank you for the beautiful interviews

I really enjoy listening to Paul talk to potters! His enthusiasm and openness for all-things-pottery is so authentic and really comes through on this podacast

The Potter’s Cast is a great companion to my long commute and to the work in the studio.

I look forward to meeting you in person someday at NCECA.

Great podcast to listen while throwing and be inspired

Just absolutely love the potters cast, insights into artist inspiration and motivation as they create.

What a pleasure to talk with Paul and see where the conversation took us — and to be in such good company among the many other ceramic artists he has interviewed!

I had a great time speaking with Paul on his podcast! We could have talked for hours!

Hi, I’ve just started to listen to this podcast. I’m at the 8th episode I think. So far I have loved hearing the different experiences and journeys of these wonderful artists which to my surprise I follow most on Instagram! Thank you Paul Blais for this amazing and informative and eye-opener (for me as a potter) podcast. Bu the way I am listening from Tehran-Iran!

A great time and good conversations all around! Thank you Paul! Love listening and participating. Keep up the awesomeness!

I love listening to The Potters Cast! Where else can you find hours and hours of dialogue among people who share the same passion? Paul has a great way of engaging his guests and making them feel like they are sitting in the same room just shooting the breeze. Thank you so much for hosting this show!

Paul has such a soothing voice and is so gifted at getting artists to talk about their work. What an amazing pod cast to hear about ceramicist’s artistic journeys! A must listen for any artist! He dives deep into their roots and what has made them the artist they are today. Always a fun listen. Highly recommend!

This show is so wonderful to share the stories and insights of other potters and it makes for one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. I feel like I learn so much from every episode!

Paul has a great way of spreading the word about all of us out here making pots and working in clay. You can tell he has a sincere affection for connecting us all together and this podcast if just another awesome way that he does that! Glad to be a part of it!

Very new to this pod cast as well as the world of pottery... I keep a notebook close by as I listen so I can write down so much great information… your a wonderful guiding light in this universe of dirt and form. Thank you with all of my heart

I really enjoyed being interviewed by paul on his podcast. We had such a great time. I have listened to a few of them so far and they are a pure delight to listen too. Keep it up…..

Cut to the episode and quit trying to grab reviews and sway your audience. Having to wait 6 minutes to listen to the guest is poor form. Waste of time.

It was such an honor to be interviewed by Paul. He has such a way with people and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The conversation was engaging and it’s always so insightful to hear people’s stories and learn about their life. Check it out !

Had a great time interviewing with Paul! The process was very comfortable and professionally conducted. Grateful to be a guest and be amongst all of the other amazing potters on the podcast!

Mike Winger has helped me expand my understanding of the scriptures so much. I am incredibly grateful for this resource. Thank you so much for being a humble, knowledgeable Bible teacher.

It’s awesome to get to meet so many fantastic potters through this podcast. My favorite pottery related podcast.
