The Thread Safe Podcast
by Amy Bowen
Are you a tech geek with an insatiable urge to create things, or a creative type who also loves tech? If you’re just as likely to engage in left-brained pursuits as right-brained ones, this is the show for you. When your host Amy Bowen isn’t monitoring a worldwide computer network, she can often be found sewing her next costume or crafting her next cosplay accessory. On this show, we’ll talk about sewing and other creative hobbies, technology, and how they intersect. At the Thread Safe Podcast, we believe in keeping the Creative Side and the Tech Side in balance.
