I am consistently left with new thoughts and ideas about the world, our clothes, and how they interact after a listen to this podcast. I would never be interested in fashion in the Devil Wear’s Prada sense, but I would be interested in clothes made of hair and an app the clothes your outfits and the color of ballet slippers,
The best!! Just one thing about the technology and sorting….

This is truly one of the best podcasts out there and I love every minute! — so I hate to complain but there is one tiny thing that has nothing to do with the show— it’s how it “sorts” in my feed. I don’t see the new shows and instead of going new to old they go old to new. I think that’s why I don’t see new episodes. But, it’s certainly a treat to find a whole new batch all of a sudden!
Fabulous

I'm always inspired and intrigued by the backstories to things we barely notice in our daily lives! I have been a sewist since I was old enough not to stab others with needles, pins, and scissors—this show is a fabulous journey through the history of such disparate pieces of life as chemistry, royalty, botany, industrialization, disease, exploitation, colonialism, government, politics, culture, literature, ancient, medieval, and modern civilization just to name a few. Who couldn't adore this show? And, of course, Avery is first rate as a researcher, writer, creator, and host. Brava!
