Customer Reviews
Love this show
I love this podcast. I am not even interested in fashion! But the host is amazing, the subjects are fascinating, and I learn something new and interesting every episode. I just finished Modesty and was a little misty eyed by the end. So well done. I can’t say enough good things.
thoroughly researched, beautiful storytelling, one of my favorites
Avery is incredible at looking at different facets fashion through an anthropological lens. I love how she brings in a variety of experts and tries to tell a fuller story of our relationship to fashion. Such a treat to listen to; I look forward to every episode.
Excellent
I’ve listened to and enjoyed every episode of this show, and want to offer special praise for the modesty episode. It is a timely and sensitive exploration of cultural dress codes that are so often misunderstood by outsiders to a particular culture. Enlightening and uplifting. Thank you.
