Drellingore Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Can anyone recommend any decent podcasts about self-building, or all the related subject matter, from which I can learn? Ideally on Spotify. I used to listen to Built:It by Andy Stevens, but almost every episode has disappeared from Spotify, and there don't seem to be any new episodes on other channels. I listened to a couple of building-related podcasts, but they all seemed aimed at the property developer demographic, talking about flipping things for profit.

Generally, I'd agree. *looks over at bookshelf with about 350 non-fiction books on it*. However, I've found self-build books not terribly detailed... The Self-Builder's Bible is reasonably broad, but not much deeper than the average magazine article. I also find it reasonably challenging to read books while running, driving, and doing gardening stuff on-site For some reason, audiobooks always feel like cheating, to me. I should probably get over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 All you need. Stick to comedy for the podcasts. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m000dpqn?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one above is the only one I've found. House Planning Help isn't just about planning - which is why I don't rate it as 'good'. The author should rename the podcast. I have spent a good deal of time looking. The trouble is the subject area is so large. Different people learn in different ways: some of us like reading material, others video, others like listening. The best I can suggest is some (of the millions) of YT and Vimeo (I'm sure there are others) resources. But filtering by presenter and content is the issue: along with shared ignorance.
