It’s all about The p-LUSH Show in Episode 12 of the Plutonium Muffins podcast! As well as a long conversation with Belinda Harris-Reid, I talk about the whole show as a general event, mention a few specific vendors, interview a few people from the yarny world, and try to convey my excitement of what was one of the best shows of this year!
Look out for the special Big Brother segment with Belinda Harris-Reid – super interesting.
