The Crafting System was a fandom themed podcast that touched also on crafts, creativity, feminism, mental and physical health, geek culture, and politics. It ran from Nov 2013[1] to October 2019, approximately 48 episodes, along with numerous mini-episodes, video book reviews and more. It appeared Tuesday, bimonthly. It is no longer available and has not been archived

The Crafting System is a new podcast—it just started in December—but it’s already crammed to the brim with geekery, and it comes with a unique spin on fandom. Told from the perspective of two fangirls who love knitting geek patterns, it explores various ways of creating fanworks for an extraordinary variety of fandoms. The first episode alone veers from discussion of classic Heinlein sci-fi to Sailor Moon to fandom tea, and includes fanfic recs, book recs, and a whole lot more. And the annotations are off-the-chart impressive.[2]
