    Retail Therapy 033: The Spring 2023 In/Out Report

    Well, we had a party. And at that party, we had everyone write down things that they thought were "in" and things that were "out." And on today's episode, we read from those cards and added our own items as well. We also discussed some male-centric fashion trends going into spring and added some stuff to our wishlists.

Glad to have found it

I’m a new UK listener and finding the pod really refreshing to listen to two guys talk conversationally about fashion and style and pop culture x

Essential

I can’t imagine a sunday, without a notification to tell me there’s a new episode of Sunday Scaries. This has been my go to podcast for so long now, it’s dreamy. The jazz soundtrack, scented candle recommendations and guest episodes, it’s the most comforting listen. I’m on my second round of re listening to sunday scaries from the beginning. I can’t recommend this enough.

Paige, Liverpool.

A podcast after my own heart

I don’t even need a Sunday happy hour, I just listen to Sunday scaries with my favourite adult beverage, Hendricks gin and tonic with cucumber slices, to build up Monday courage. Thanks for reminding us that comforts are still ok and actually the joys of life.
