I would subscribe to just a Casual Friday pod, so you have at least one loyal listener. I was listening this afternoon while cleaning up the yard, very timely.
Two potential topics (although not a potential craft like you mentioned)
1) Photography. You both mentioned having DSLRs. Have you spent time learning how to use it, or does it function as a big P&S?
2) Homebrewing. I don’t expect either to pick it up for discussion, but maybe you had thoughts on it.
