About Sticks & String and me
G’day all. I’m David Reidy, an Australian bloke who lives in the Blue Mountains two hours west of Sydney, and knits and podcasts about knitting. Away from the sticks and string, I’m an astrophysicist who now teaches high school. In my knitting and podcasting endeavours I am assisted by my two Burmese cats, Tikka and Tiger.
The Sticks and String podcast appears weekly, so look for a new show each weekend.

Hi David,
Great interview with Ann, but I really have to say thank you so much for including the train sounds! Very satisfying indeed.
Best,
Karen in western PA
David, the interviews in the new series are wonderful. Ann gave me a new glance at Fair Isle. Have a fair chunk of projects in cue right now but some day . . . Keep up with these fascinating interviews. They just get better and better.
