    Bonus Episode: "The Cloak of Invisibility"

    What does it take to disappear? So-called cloaking technology is common on things like fighter jets, but recent advances at MIT have created flexible "fabric" surfaces capable of bending light. It might sound like Harry Potter hocus pocus, but it’s quite possible, in the next decade, to have clothing that makes the wearer invisible.

    Everything Will Be Fine: Twisted Tales of Travel

    You go on a trip, and stuff happens. You lose your luggage or miss your plane. But what if the stuff that happens is a little more epic? Like war zone, poisonous snakes, engines-falling-out-of-your-plane kind of epic? Could you roll with that?  Find Show Notes here: https://www.interweave.com/fiber-nation/twisted-tales-of-travel/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, Part 2

    The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire lasted fewer than 30 minutes and killed 146 people, most of them young women. The disaster’s aftermath would lead to sweeping labor reforms and workplace safety regulations we still have today. It would transform Democrats into a progressive party. And it would, more than 20 years down the road, help elect Franklin D Roosevelt president, paving the way for the New Deal.

    The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, Part 1

    On a warm spring day in 1911, a fire broke out at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York. Within minutes it engulfed the top three stories of the factory building. 146 people died in the blaze; 123 of them young women who worked there. It was one of the worst industrial disasters in the United States. The fire and its aftermath would transform US politics and shape the growing labor movement for decades. But to really understand the events of 1911, we need to go back two years and tell a much larger story than that of a single factory.

    Fiber Nation Knit Night: Reindeer Recipes and Attractive Cowpeas

    We’re excited to announce another Fiber Nation Live Knit Night! Bring your knitting, and join us Wednesday, December 8 at 6 pm EST for a talk with Danielle Dreilinger, featured on the “Home Economics vs. Hitler” episode. Since it’s the holiday season, we thought we’d change things up and talk about food, festive or otherwise. (Quite possibly otherwise.) Danielle will introduce us to some wonderful cookbooks and recipes from the Bureau of Home Economics, including 99 Ways to Share the Meat and Attractive Ways of Cooking Cowpeas. We might even tackle the history of Jell-o salad! Notes and registration: https://www.interweave.com/fiber-nation/fiber-nation-knit-night-reindeer-recipes/ Learn more about your ad choices.

    Lifting the Hem on Scottish Kilts

    We look at the evolution of men’s fashion, and how it helped turn an obscure ethnic costume into one of history’s most famous garments. We talk about how tartan patterns became a marketing scheme in the 1800s, and, scandalously, we discover that the Scottish kilt we know today…may have been created by an Englishman.

    The Sheep & Cattle Wars

    The American West is this mythic place…the land of Wyatt Earp and Calamity Jane, cattle drives, and cowboys. Myths aside, it's also the land of the western range wars, where cattlemen and sheepmen battled over access to grass and water. Dozens of sheepherders were killed and 100,000 sheep were slaughtered, all before a Colorado congressman ended the violence in 1934. But a mere generation later, it's the sheep owners who had the last laugh.
