Customer Reviews
Insightful, joyful and surprising
You don‘t have to be wildly interested in how clothes are made or how fashion is marketed, how it all evolved and what the future of clothing might be – because Avery Trufelman’s Articles of Interest will *make* you wildly interested in all of this! The episodes are brilliantly researched, narrated and edited, making it a real podcast gem I keep recommending to friends. If you love well-crafted longform audio and are curious about clothing and fashion, you are in for a treat!
So insightful!
Talking about visual stuff in audio form is a challenge. But every time Avery Trufelman excels at it. This podcast is truly a masterpiece. Avery's voice is like butter. I love every aspect of this podcast.
