Customer Reviews
History through the lens of clothing and fashion
I was a fan of Avery Trufelman for years on both the 99% Invisible and Nice Try! podcasts, so I was excited when Articles of Interest spun off as its own podcast. It's a fascinating look into history, through the lens of clothing and fashion. Not only am I always entertained an educated by the episodes, Avery has changed the way I dress—I am the proud owner of a Polo Snow Beach Pullover because of the series she did on preppy style. I eagerly await new episodes. And it’s worth subscribing to her Substack newsletter as well, which is both a companion piece to the podcast episodes and a source of more things you didn’t know you needed to know, but you did.
Enjoyable
There are real moments of poetry in the copy of the denim episode. Well done
I can’t get enough of this show!
The show takes you on a deep dive into detailed aspects of fashion and after every episode I come away smarter, and thoroughly entertained. Keep up the great work!
