Popular Woodworking magazine is now a sponsor of the popular “Wood Talk Online” podcast, which is hosted by Marc Spagnuolo and Matt Vanderlist.

Starting on Feb. 10, you can tune in to “Wood Talk Online” and hear tips and interviews from the editors of the magazine in addition to the regular program, which covers furniture, tools, techniques and woodworking news.

What’s a podcast? Essentially, it’s like a radio or television program transmitted over the Internet. You can listen to it on your computer or even download it to your iPod so you can listen to it in the shop or in the car. If you’d like a taste of the show, you can listen to any of the 49 shows so far simply by clicking here.

Marc, also known as The Wood Whisperer, and Matt, of Matt’s Basement Workshop, keep the show lively, interesting and funny. It’s a bit like NPR’s “Car Talk” for woodworking.

On next week’s show, you can hear Glen Huey interview Chuck Bender, an amazing Pennsylvania craftsman and the founder of the Acanthus Workshop school of woodworking. Chuck’s portfolio is absolutely jaw-dropping and huge. If you’re interested in early American furniture, you should definitely browse the small sample of his work at his site and tune in next week to find out how he got started in woodworking.

Also, Chuck’s work will be featured in the April 2008 issue of Popular Woodworking where he writes about carving a Spanish foot.

We’ll also be supplying tips and tricks from our workshop that will be broadcast on the show. You can watch and listen to the show live at 8:30 p.m. (EST) on Tuesday, Feb. 10, by clicking here. (There’s even an online chat room that runs during the show where listeners can comment on the show.)

And if you can’t tune in next week, you can still download the show (it’s all free), by visiting “WoodTalkOnline.com.”

    There is a little video, but it’s really about the talking, and yes, it’s available through iTunes – just type "wood talk" into the store search bar, and it comes up.

    Hi,

    Is it audio only or does it include video too?

    Is it available via Apple’s itune store?

    Thanks.

    Nope – we’ve figured out how to buck the time-space continuum! (Yes, you are, of course, correct – April 2009).

    I assume that you meant the April 2009 PW.
