    Love the Content and the Banter
    Balancing the audio between the hosts (some higher pitch and one low) could make it easier to listen to when your hands are dirty with clay. Other than this, I love everything about this podcast.

    So fun to listen to and full of great information
    One of my favorite ways to start my time in the studio is to turn on this podcast and juke to the music before listening to all the great questions and information shared. Love the rapport between the hosts too!

    Favorite podcast by far
    As a scientist turned sculptor, I really appreciate the mission of this podcast to dispel myths and just plain wrong information circulating in the ceramics community, but let’s also give props to the real star of the show: Kathy King, who keeps everyone on their toes and is a bucket of laughs, really enough cannot be said about how much her personality adds to this show. She keeps it light. I’ve also enjoyed listening to Rose come out of her shell over the seasons as she knows so much & she can be very funny as well. This community needs this show and I refer people to it all the time.

    Fantastic resource for every potter or ceramicist
    Kathy, Rose, and Matt give a lot of great information and tips for studio potters and clay artists. They cover a lot of glaze chemistry and pottery myths, and they choose really great listener questions to highlight a range of topics. Best of all, it’s easy to listen to, it’s pretty concise, and their corny jokes are tolerable lol. Thank you For Flux Sake!

    So informative and fun!
    I absolutely adore this show and can’t wait for each new episode. Matt, Rose, and Kathy provide an abundance of information about clay and glazes. I recommend the show to all my clay friends and find myself going back to listen to episodes over and over again due to how informative they are.

    Glaze time fun
    A total hoot and learned to boot. It’s a rare skill to turn glaze calc and technical problems into a good time - but this show does it. A must listen.
  • Seize the Clay
    This one’s for the nerds
    (But also any clay-loving person that wants to learn) I love this show. So much of what I was taught was handed down from the previous generation without any explanation. If you like material science and you wince whenever you hear “it’s just always been done this way” you’ll love this. My favorite thing is when Matt and Rose dispel common misconceptions without hesitation and then EXPLAIN WHY. I’m a ceramics educator and I fully endorse this show.

  • IndieHunter27
    Approachable & fun
    These hosts are so knowledgeable but they present info in a very approachable (and giggly) way. As a hobby potter, I still have so much to learn about the science of ceramics and this podcast is making the venture fun and less intimidating!

    Friends for the Journey
    There are so many wonderful things I can say about this podcast! I love listening to the humor of Matt, Rose and Kathy. It’s obvious they enjoy each other and doing this podcast. The level of knowledge shared about ceramic arts is unparalleled. Most importantly, the podcast has given me companionship on this journey with clay. I’m an older solitary potter working in my studio on our rural property. For Flux Sake is a bright spot in my life! Thanks Matt, Rose and Kathy. Looking forward to a new season.

    I’m so so thrilled for this podcast! I’ve been outta the glaze testing world for a little bit but even after just the first episode I’m getting motivated to get back in it and test some glazes. Thank you so much guys, can’t wait for more!

    Ceramics science in its greatest form!
    So excited to finally have these podcasts! Matt, Rose, and Kathy have so much knowledge and I’m so grateful they’re willing to share it. But can we get one every day instead of every other week? I really can’t wait.
