About the show
Worth the Time is a show about how hobbies like running, knitting, board games, and stand-up comedy can shape our lives in all kinds of ways.
In every episode, host Jennifer Wiese connects with a new guest to talk about what their hobby is, why they do it, and how it's affected their lives outside of the hobby itself. Worth the Time introduces you to everyday people who do everything from archery to zine-making and shares stories about how they make time to follow their curiosity and stretch their capabilities just because they want to.
Whether you're already deep into a practice and looking for community or you're busy, phone-tired, and wondering if it's too late to start something new, these conversations make hobbies feel approachable, meaningful, and worth the time.
Your host
Worth the Time is hosted by Jennifer Wiese.
As the founder of Workroom Social, a sewing studio based in Brooklyn, New York, Jennifer has spent years watching what happens when people make time for something they love. Through sewing, she builds communities, stimulates creativity, and helps people improve their confidence by making the clothes they actually want to wear. She creates opportunities for sewists to connect with those they might not meet otherwise, and to develop relationships that go beyond sewing itself. She's seen firsthand how a hobby can transform a person's life.
Worth the Time is her chance to share what she's witnessed, to entertain listeners and, hopefully, to inspire them to find a hobby of their own.
Whether it's sewing, rock climbing, or zine-making, if you don't already have a hobby you love, Jennifer will be the first person in line inviting you to find one.
Jennifer also runs Workroom Social, a sewing studio in Brooklyn, NY.
