1 Episode 227: How to find accurate news in unprecedented times, with Elizabeth Segran 2:27:59

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदOne of the challenges facing all of concerned citizens is where and how to find accurate and reliable news. This week Amanda is joined by Elizabeth Segran, Senior Staff Writer at Fast Company Magazine. They tackle some very important questions about news, media, and how we can determine what is fact, fiction, or something in-between: How can we tell the difference between editorial/opinion pieces and news reporting? Is it dangerous for people to get their “news” solely from social media? Is there a “Hippocratic oath” for journalists? What are the processes journalists and news organizations follow for verifying that information is factual? How have budget cuts (and a shift in the entire media industry in the digital era) impacted how fast news is reported? Has it changed what it is covered? How can we fact check the things we see online? Also, Amanda introduces REDUCE, REFUSE, RESIST, an economic protest (and new way of life) for all of us that begins in March. "Inside the State Department’s Weapons Pipeline to Israel," Brett Murphy, ProPublica. Join the conversation on the Clotheshorse Slack! Sign up here!

2025 is a lot. Things are kinda overwhelming right now: there’s a lot of news to digest and it's coming fast, it’s hard to suss out reality from fiction, and we don’t know what we can do to help. And so…it’s hard to be okay right now. But it sure is easy to be overwhelmed. Frightened. Angry. Trapped in a sense of powerlessness. Find this episode's transcript (and so much more) at clotheshorsepodcast.com This week we are going to talk about how to be okay, whether you’re facing fascism, climate change, plastic pollution, the fast fashion crisis, or all of these at once. Why we doomscroll, how it's impacting our brains, and what we can do to stop it, How to manage the flow of accurate information into our lives, How to talk to people online, How to take care of ourselves, And things we can actually do to help out locally and globally. Along the way, we'll talk about why waiting for collapse isn't helping anyone and why you should never forget the mouse in your pocket.

Have you struggled with these feelings? It's called doomerism and you're not wrong for feeling that way. In this week's episode, Amanda talks all about doomerism (and how to fight it off): Amanda shares what she learned on her desert road trip in search of optimism, with stops at National Parks and more than one geodesic domes. She will share her advice (gained through experience and lots of reading about this topic) for saving yourself from doomerism, while also building up your strength and energy to keep fighting the good fight. And she'll talk about why she is staying on social media.

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदIn the final episode of 2024, Amanda is inspired by a conversation with her friend Janelle to explore board games that teach children (and adults) the “winner takes all” aspect of late stage capitalism and/or reinforce the message that success=stuff. We’ll take a journey through the history of board games, with a deep dive into the Game of Life. We’ll check out the shopping focused games of the 1980s and 90s, including Mall Madness. We will touch on some other games that just seem agonizing for adults to play, like Payday (too real). And we’ll explore the origin story of Monopoly, along with all of the other games that (accidentally or otherwise) seem to reinforce dumb ideas like the bootstrap myth. Amanda also talks about what a "no buy year" means to her (and somehow ties into board games, because why not). This episode also includes an audio essay from Eleisha of SHIFT, a refillery in Narberth, PA.

Find Philly FatCon on Instagram: @phillyfatcon In these two one-on-one conversations with Amanda, we will explore the following subjects: What does "size inclusive" mean when we are talking about brands? What is the positive social impact of normalizing body diversity in fashion and media? Are there really ethically made clothes in larger sizes somewhere out there in the world? How can we build a more inclusive, stronger community via events? What does a more sustainable, inclusive fashion industry look like? And are deer really just forest ponies? Also, Amanda talks about the fashion industry's approach to just about everything (including inclusivity) feels so tired and antiquated. And why she is optimistic about the future of slow fashion in 2025. This episode gets started with an audio essay from Sarah of Summa Salts.

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदAmanda is joined by Sushmita, the person behind Ethical Fat Fashion , the "coolest fat positive fashion newsletter amplifying ethical size diverse brands.” In this episode--recorded in a karaoke room in Tokyo--Amanda and Sushmita discuss the following: “Sustainable fashion” has an inclusivity problem. Meaning: it still focuses on thin, white, young, wealthier cis-gendered women. Why is that still the case, years into the sustainability movement in fashion? How can we change that? I always feel like I am part of a growing diverse community of primarily working class people, yet I still see many brands and organizations continuing to focus on the same thin/white/young/rich people. Why is it important for slow fashion to be a movement/community for everyone? Conversations about cost are particularly difficult because we know that the prices of ultra fast fashion are only possible because the clothes are low quality and someone suffered to make them. Fast fashion has warped our sense of value and how much clothing should cost. How do we untangle that? And how is skipping fast fashion an issue of class solidarity? The societal expectation around how much clothing we should have has changed drastically over the years, especially during the fast fashion era. And so we think we need a lot of clothes that are inexpensive, rather than a lot less clothing at a higher price. Sushimita will share her thoughts on that and how we change our perception of value and the quantity of clothing we own. Also: Why we should shop from small brands, debunking the myth that there are no sustainable brands that make larger sizes, and so much more! This episode gets started with a small business audio episode from Lisa of Top Stitch Mending . And Amanda wraps up the episode discussing how the recent election here in the United States has her thinking about the power of community and communication.

1 REWIND: Why (Most) New Sweaters Are (Near) Future Garbage, featuring Dani of Picnicwear 2:25:59

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदSweater season has arrived for many of us, so let's revisit a favorite episode from last year! Dani of Picnicwear joins Amanda to explain why (most) new sweaters are low quality, (near) future garbage (instead of future vintage). It's a complicated tale of synthetic blends, increasing margin targets, and lower prices. We'll explain how the fast fashion industry has kept prices low and profits high by swapping out yarns, cutting out details, and making copies of copies, while walking through the design process of most big retailers/brands. We will unpack why it's really difficult to find sweaters made of natural fibers. Amanda will explain how natural fibers aren't the "cure" for the impact of overconsumption. We will give you advice about how to choose the right sweater (hint: read those content labels). Dani will give you advice about how to care for your sweaters properly. We were inspired by Amanda Mull's recent piece for The Atlantic, Your Sweaters Are Garbage. Go read it! Check out Dani's incredible cotton sweaters here.

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदIt's the first ever "recorded with a live studio audience" episode of Clotheshorse, recorded at West Art in Lancaster, PA. For this very special event, Amanda is joined by Alex of St. Evens, Christine of Lady Hogg Vintage, and Dylan (a former thrift store worker). In 2023, Alex of St. Evens joined Amanda for a FOUR PART exploration of the ethics of secondhand resale. More than year and a half later, myths about secondhand and anti-reseller rhetoric can still be found in every corner of the internet. In this episode, we revisit the ethics of secondhand shopping, thrifting, and resellers, exploring the following questions: ✭ Who is really getting rich from the sales of secondhand clothing? ✭ Are resellers really "taking all of the good stuff" from thrift stores? ✭ What is the real purpose of thrift stores? ✭ How can we (as a community) make secondhand more accessible to more people? ✭ Why is there so much bad stuff in thrift stores right now? ✭ And so much more! Want to catch up on what we have already discussed in the past? You can find these episode anywhere you listen to podcasts: 👂Episode 159: We debunked two major anti-resale arguments: “Thrift stores are designed to be a resource for low income people" & “Resellers are making tons of money from taking things that should be for low income people.” 👂Episode 160: We debunked two major anti-resale arguments: “Resellers are taking all of ‘the good stuff" &“Resellers are responsible for rising prices at thrift stores.” 👂Episode 161: We debunked the final anti-resale myth: “Resellers misrepresent what they’re selling, list things at wildly inflated prices, and overall behave miserably both online and in person.” Do yourself a favor and subscribe to Alex's Substack, 1-800-Vintage Get your Clotheshorse merch here: https://clotheshorsepodcast.com/shop/ If you want to share your opinion/additional thoughts on the subjects we cover in each episode, feel free to email, whether it’s a typed out message or an audio recording: amanda@clotheshorse.world Did you enjoy this episode?

1 REWIND: Episode 187: Why New Clothes Are Kinda Garbage, part 1 1:46:53
1:46:53 बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंद1:46:53
बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदIn honor of Amanda's video with More Perfect Union, let's get into why new clothes are kinda garbage these days! New clothes ARE kinda garbage these days, from low quality synthetic fabrics to zippers that are a problem from the very first wear to lack of detail and poor fit. And the low quality and short lifespan of this clothing is creating an environmental and ethical crisis for the planet and its people. Why are these clothes just so bad? In this THREE part series, Amanda breaks down the hidden reasons that new clothing is kinda garbage. This episode covers the following: What is planned obsolescence and how does it impact cars, phones, electronics...and clothing? The process of clothing creation, from design to sample to finished product. The changes buyers make to hit the profitability targets set by company leadership. How fabric is a big part of the formula (and why so many garments are synthetic now). How overproduction is impacting product quality. Also in this episode, an audio essay from Elysha of Worth Mending , @worthmending on Instagram.

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदThe future of fashion is small, ethical, and circular. The problem right now? Big businesses control the supply chain, making it really hard for small brands and designers to succeed. FABRIC is working to change that by building a fully circular supply chain here in the United States, powered by many, many small businesses. In this episode, Amanda is joined by Angela Johnson, co-founder of FABRIC. This episode discusses the following: Angela’s experiences as a designer, both at the beginning of her career, and as she started her own brand. We’ll get a little nostalgic with some conversation about her time working at X-Girl, an iconic 90s brand founded by Kim Gordon (of Sonic Youth) and Daisy von Furth. And oh yeah, we’re also going to talk about Days of Our Lives. Angela will explain how everything she learned working in the garment industry in LA (along with her loyalty to her home state of Arizona) led her to create a fashion incubator in Tempe, Arizona. We will also hear more about the vision for the Eco Parc , a fully circular fashion manufacturing hub and what it will take to bring that to life. And we will round that all out by talking about how important it is to keep up this work, even on the days when it is really hard. Find FABRIC on IG: @fabrictempe And HEY!

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदAmanda is joined by Dr. Colleen Pokorny, Assistant Professor of Apparel Design at Oregon State University. Before making the shift to education, Colleen was a technical designer in the world of fast fashion. And there is so much to cover in this episode: What is a technical designer? How has the speed of fast fashion made clothing fit even worse? Why aren't clothing sizes standardized here in the US? Why do your product reviews matter? How do we set students up for a better transition from school to the fashion industry? And how can schools prepare designers for a more sustainable future? What does a more sustainable future for the fashion industry look like? Why and how did Colleen leave the fashion industry? And does she have any advice to share with us? And somehow, we will also talk about Trader Joe’s and how it has been caught behaving like fast fashion. Also, Amanda shares her own experience escaping the fashion industry. About Colleen: Dr. Colleen Gelhaus Pokorny is an Assistant Professor of Apparel Design at the Oregon State University. Her research interests include sustainability trends impacting apparel product design and development; how cultural and technical innovations influence craft and design processes; and how design technologies can address gaps in diversity, equity, and inclusion. Her current research examines how designers revalue material culture through sustainable design processes when upcycling quilt materials into fashion garments. Before pursuing her Ph.D., Colleen was a Technical Designer for seven years at Thirty-one Gifts and Abercrombie & Fitch. She specialized in men's knitwear, thermal and home soft goods, and handbags. You can read more about Colleen’s research at https://hdl.handle.net/11299/258647 and https://business.oregonstate.edu/users/colleen-pokorny .

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदThis episode is part two in a recurring series examining and debunking the most common “excuses” and justifications we see for supporting, maybe even protecting(?) fast fashion and fast everything. And this week we are going to explore a classic comeback to conversations about fast fashion: “it’s classist to talk about fast fashion.” We will explore the following questions: What is class? What are the differences between socioeconomic class and social class? What is classism? And how does it play out in day to day life? Why is income not always a simple indicator of one's financial situation? How are fast fashion and classism *actually* linked? You might be surprised! How does fast fashion actually exacerbate economic inequality? Did fast fashion really democratize fast fashion? Why is the fight against fast fashion actually a matter of class solidarity? And what can ALL of us do to dismantle the fast fashion system? On our journey to figuring all of this out, we'll find out if Shein customers are actually rich, and if fast fashion executives actually wear clothing made by their companies. Amanda will share her own experiences dealing with classism within the fashion industry. And HEY! BUY YOUR TICKETS TO THE CLOTHESHORSE JAMBOREE ASAP!

Resellers are making tons of money from taking things that should be for low income people. The intro segment for this episode will focus on the reality that many people have shifted their behavior from overconsuming fast fashion to overconsuming secondhand clothing.

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदIf you dare to dive into the comments section on just about any post about fast fashion or fast everything, you are guaranteed to see more than one person saying "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism." This episode is part one in a recurring series examining and debunking the most common “excuses” and justifications we see for supporting, maybe even protecting(?) fast fashion and fast everything. And this week we are getting started with a real banger: “there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism.” We will explore the following questions: What is the origin of "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism?" Who said it first? What was intended meaning of this statement and how does it differ from how it is most frequently used now? Why do people use this phrase so often? How should we interact with people who use it? How can we make more ethical choices in a system that is inherently unethical? On our journey to answer these questions, we'll get to talk about feminist tees (again), visit an island nation in the Indian Ocean with a once-robust apparel production industry, buy some new underwear, and unpack how K-cups are a great example of individuals having an impact. Additional reading: "'Feminist' T-Shirt Backed By Women's Group Made In Sweatshop: Report," Eleanor Goldberg, Huff Post. Where does "there is no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism" come from?, Reddit thread. "This feminist t-shirt isn't actually made in a sweatshop," Zing Tsjeng, Dazed. "This is what development looks like," Maya Forstater. Episode 200 is coming soon! April 18th at 8pm Eastern.

But starting these conversations can be intimidating. And frustrating to continue! Have YOU ever tried to change minds in the comment section of a social media post?! Fortunately Amanda has learned a lot about how to have productive conversations about slow fashion over the last four years, mostly by trial and error. In this episode she shares what she has learned. This episode answers the following questions (and more): Why is it important to talk about fast fashion/slow fashion with the people in your life? Who should care about fast fashion/slow fashion? How do I start these conversations without being a total party pooper? How do I meet people where they are (and avoid using shaming or blaming language)? How do I deal with common responses like "talking about fast fashion is classist" or "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism?" What can I learn by sharing my knowledges and experience with others? Episode 200 is coming soon! April 18th at 8pm Eastern.

And what if resale could be more equitable for everyone involved? In this episode, Amanda is joined by Jake and Yulia of Treet. We will discuss how helping brands create their own resale platforms could benefit customers, the planet, AND the brands themselves. Also, in this episode, most brands are at crossroads: try to compete with the ultra fast fashion brands like Shein and Cider, or sort of “rehabilitate” their approach to making clothing by selling stuff that lasts longer and is better quality. Will they try to compete with Shein (and fail) or choose the more ethical, sustainable path forward? And how can resale be a part of pushing fast fashion brands in a better direction?

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदIt's the first episode of Clotheshorse in 2024! And it's another CH first, too: an entire episode about ONE email! Amanda received this email in mid December. It sparked many, many hours of reading, research, and conversations with other members of the community. In the quest to find a response to this message, a lot of other conversations began: Is it greenwashing to say "Small Business Is The Future?" Where is the nuance within slow fashion? How does that nuance influence the way we start conversations outside the slow fashion bubble? Should we tell people to stop buying goods and services altogether? How do the impacts of small businesses compare to those of big businesses? Are all small businesses "good?" What should we do if they are "bad?" Do small businesses get away with bad behavior because they are small? What is degrowth economics? Can it work? Would would it look like IRL? How do creativity and art fit into degrowth? Should makers and sellers stop what they are doing and shift into public service jobs? Why aren't they doing that already? Why are so many Clotheshorse guests also small business owners? What are the challenges of trying to be as ethical as possible within late stage capitalism? How do we make the best choices? Who really makes money from podcasting? How do begin to value art, information, and content as much as we value "stuff?" And what happens if we don't make that change? Yeah, NBD, just some light topics here. Thank you to these awesome members of the community for already sharing their thoughts: Dani, Christine, Maria, Selina, Kate S., and Kate K.

1 Episode 187: Why New Clothes Are Kinda Garbage, part 1 1:46:53
1:46:53 बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंद1:46:53
बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदNew clothes ARE kinda garbage these days, from low quality synthetic fabrics to zippers that are a problem from the very first wear to lack of detail and poor fit. And the low quality and short lifespan of this clothing is creating an environmental and ethical crisis for the planet and its people. Why are these clothes just so bad? In this two part series, Amanda breaks down the hidden reasons that new clothing is kinda garbage. This episode covers the following: What is planned obsolescence and how does it impact cars, phones, electronics...and clothing? The process of clothing creation, from design to sample to finished product. The changes buyers make to hit the profitability targets set by company leadership. How fabric is a big part of the formula (and why so many garments are synthetic now). How overproduction is impacting product quality. Also in this episode, an audio essay from Elysha of Worth Mending , @worthmending on Instagram. P.S. Elsyha recently did a collab with Dani of Picnicwear. Check it out here .

2:16:12 बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंद2:16:12
बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदNearly 1 out of 4 of the new garments we purchase end up being returned to the brand/retailer. While retail companies tend to keep the true data about returns under wraps, industry experts estimate that half of returned clothing is never worn by another person, ending up in the landfill instead. So yeah, returns are a pretty big deal across the entire retail industry (even outside of clothing). Amanda is joined by Emily Austin, who has a lot of experience in the world of returns, customer care, and the intersection of technology and returns. What is the true cost of returns? In this episode we get into the following: Why processing returns (also known as "reverse logistics") is very expensive How finding a fix for returns has become an entire industry Why retailers are changing their return policies The environmental and social impact of so many returns How the high volume of returns is both the result and cause of declining clothing quality. And yes, it is very ironic that retailers could reduce the number of returns by improving quality! Ways we can try to reduce our own number of returns...(yes, it's difficult) This episode also includes small business audio essays from Ren and Ruby.

1 Episode 183: Why (Most) New Sweaters Are (Near) Future Garbage, featuring Dani of Picnicwear 2:25:59

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदDani of Picnicwear joins Amanda to explain why (most) new sweaters are low quality, (near) future garbage (instead of future vintage). It's a complicated tale of synthetic blends, increasing margin targets, and lower prices. We'll explain how the fast fashion industry has kept prices low and profits high by swapping out yarns, cutting out details, and making copies of copies, while walking through the design process of most big retailers/brands. We will unpack why it's really difficult to find sweaters made of natural fibers. Amanda will explain how natural fibers aren't the "cure" for the impact of overconsumption. We will give you advice about how to choose the right sweater (hint: read those content labels). Dani will give you advice about how to care for your sweaters properly. We were inspired by Amanda Mull's recent piece for The Atlantic, Your Sweaters Are Garbage. Go read it! Check out Dani's incredible cotton sweaters here.

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदWriter and all-around rad person Rachel Greenley (@rachel_greenley_words) is back! You first met her in January, when she dropped by to talk about her New York Times essay, This Is the Reality of America’s Fast-Fashion Addiction . In that piece of writing, she shared her experiences working in a facility processing Amazon returns. Her essay is a must-read for anyone who has wondered what happens with the items we buy online and then return! If you haven’t listened to that episode yet, you should go do that some time soon, too. It is episode 151! Rachel is here to discuss something completely different: the performances we are expected to put on for others in a lot of our jobs. These performances are not the actual work that is part of our job description, yet they are exhausting nonetheless. We will be talking about the personal/emotional impact of those performances, how to recognize them, and our hopes for the future of work. Also, it's November so that means small business audio essays are back! We get things started with Alex McGinness of Arcoiris Design Studio. You can find her on Instagram as @arcoiris.design.studio . And check out her Rainbow Refresh Challenge, a 5 day audit challenge that can help you refresh your brand.

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदIt's that time again…time for Clotheshorse to SAVE Halloween! And for this very important mission, Amanda is joined by a Clotheshorse all-star, Maggie Greene, the Halloween Queen! Over the next two episodes, you’ll get to meet some fabulous guests while we talk about all of the ways we can save Halloween from the ghouls of capitalism, waste and overconsumption. You’ll be haunted by all of the scary facts about Halloween waste, but hopefully you’ll also be inspired to make this Halloween better than ever, putting the "we" back into Halloween. In this episode, we’re going to talk a lot about costumes and decorations. And we’ll be joined by two other Clotheshorse All-Stars (and major Halloween lovers) Ruby and Meredith. The CH Scary Vibes Playlist Learn more about Ruby's business, Spokes and Stitches (and learn more about her workshops) here. Maggie Greene (she/her), aka The Halloween Queen and Your Fairy Godthrifter, is a cisgender, pansexual woman, a recovering marketing professional, and a trauma and abuse survivor. But most people know her as the Chief Everything Officer and Weirdo-in-Residence at Maggie Greene Style , an ethical microbusiness on a mission to transform how people see themselves by amplifying the personal in personal brand and style. Maggie supports entrepreneurs, leaders, and individual contributors of all ages, body types, and gender expressions, on creating clarity and visibility for themselves in their career and beyond. Her superpower is zeroing in on what makes a person unique and showing them how to maximize those assets - in person and online - by supporting them on everything from their wardrobe to their LinkedIn profile. Her signature secondhand-first approach to sourcing helps counter consumption culture and reduces global fashion waste.

This week we will be tackling the concept of "professionalism" and how that ties into dress codes. We will do a deep dive into the different categories of professional dress. And we will get to the bottom of how/why these dress codes are enforced, despite the language within these policies being very subjective and unmeasurable. This episode also includes thoughts/stories from Pat, Jenny, and Carla. We recommend reading Dress Codes: How the Laws of Fashion Made History by Richard Thompson Ford.

Throwaway culture may not seem to affect you personally (spoiler: it actually is), but the rapid cycle of shop/wear a few times/donate is having a massive negative impact on humans, animals, and the planet...it’s just happening out of our line of sight. In part one of a three part series, Liz Ricketts of the OR Foundation breaks down the repercussions of our overconsumption on Ghana, its people, and our entire planet. About 15 million secondhand garments from the Global North arrive in Accra, Ghana each week. These bales of "dead white man's clothes" represent a massive industry with incredibly negative economic and environmental impact. Liz will describe a typical day in Kantamanto (the secondhand clothing market). She'll explain why resellers often say a prayer before opening a bale, and what happens to the 40% of these clothes that are simply not sellable. Please follow the OR Foundation on IG @theorispresent Extra Credit Reading "This is not your goldmine. This is our mess," Liz Ricketts, High Snobiety.

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदWhile Amanda takes a few weeks off to go to Japan, do a bunch of research and reading, work on outreach for future guests, and just generally get inspired and rested, let's revisit some of the favorite episodes of the Clotheshorse community. The thrift industry has a major impact on the humans working within it. Wages are low, expectations are high, and there is little room for advancement. Also: it’s gross and frequently dangerous. In 2021, Dylan and Ryan worked for one of the largest thrift store chains in the United States. They share their experiences making sense of the unwanted stuff of strangers. This episode was released in June 2022, and it ties in SO WELL to the recent ethics of secondhand resale series.

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदNow that we have debunked all of the myths that form the core of anti-reseller rhetoric, we’ve uncovered a lot of larger systemic issues that are the actual causes of the frustrating things being falsely blamed on resellers. In the final installment of this series examining the ethics of secondhand resale, Amanda explores how the secondhand system can be more equitable and less wasteful. We will address the following questions: What could bring thrift store prices back to a more accessible level? How there could be “better” stuff in the thrift stores? How can we ensure that the people who need things like clothes and home goods are getting them? How can we forge a path toward making resale more equitable for resellers? How we can de-escalate the ever-intensifying anti-reseller rhetoric happening on social media right now? Along the way, Amanda will explain “perceived value” and the art of pricing, EPR, and mindful rehoming. Thank you to Frankie, Tamara, Stacie, and Maria for sharing their thoughts for this episode.

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदThis week’s episode is part one of a THREE episode series examining the ethics of secondhand resale with Alex of St. Evens. In the first installment, we will tackle two arguments often tossed around in discussions about secondhand on social media: Thrift stores are designed to be a resource for low income people. Resellers are making tons of money from taking things that should be for low income people. The intro segment for this episode will focus on the reality that many people have shifted their behavior from overconsuming fast fashion to overconsuming secondhand clothing. And we will talk about how we can change that! Thank you to everyone who contributed to this episode: Stacie, Mags, Clare, Sarah, Katherine, and Amanda. Some additional reading: "Is Reselling Thrifted Clothing Sustainable or Selfish? TikTok User Sparks Ethical Debate," Emmaly Anderson, Bust. "The Complicated Reality of Thrift Store 'Gentrification'," Hazel Cills, Jezebel. "Rags to Riches," Anne Colamosca, The New York Times.

How did they become a billion dollar business in the late 80s? And when/where did they begin? We discuss all of that (and more) in this episode. Watch: The First Infomercial (Vitamix) Ronco Electric Food Dehydrator The Time Life Mysteries of the Unknown Series Pure Moods Read: "The Stepford Channel," Rick Marin, The New York Times. The first audio essay series of 2023!! We’re going to be talking about our relationship with shopping! As we began to talk about at the end of last year, we are practically trained to be consumers from birth. From sticker collections to toys to the commercials on the Saturday morning cartoons, we have been told that new stuff = a better life. More happiness. Popularity…and even in the case of the “romance industrial complex,” it means love and appreciation. Shopping is a social activity, the subject of copious amounts of magazine articles, blogs posts, and social media content. For some families shopping is the only way they can spend time together and get along! Here are some ideas of things you can cover in your audio essay: How did shopping fit into your childhood? Was it a part of your relationship with a family member? Did it change over time? Do you find yourself engaging in so-called “ retail therapy?” Does it help? Have you found something that helps more? Are you addicted to bargains and deals? Have you found a non-shopping way to scratch that itch? Does shopping make you happy? Sad? Angry? Why? Are there any specific shopping memories that have shaped how you approach clothing as an adult? Or maybe you have your own theme you would like to cover! That’s fine, too! Write out what you want to say before you record it. Try to fit it into 5 minutes or less. If you want your contact info (name, instagram handle, business) to be included in the episode, please tell us in the recording. If you want to be anonymous, that’s fine, too! It’s okay if you make a mistake while recording, just say that part again and keep going. Amanda will edit it. Record in a quiet room away from fans, air conditioners, bus stops, and howling hound dogs. Be sure to double check your recording before sending. Yes, I have received fully silent recordings.

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदIt's the year of Earth Logic here at Clotheshorse, where we are planning to reduce our consumption of brand new clothing by 75%! It's essential that we get as much wear as possible out of clothes. And how we wash, dry, and deal with those stains is a big part of making our clothing last longer. Amanda is joined by Maggie and Traci to solve your laundry quandaries. In this episode, we will be sharing our own laundry trauma, and then we will get into some of the biggest questions you had: detergent and detergent pods, line drying, shrinking, dealing with pills, and water temperature. We’ll also share our advice (some of it from Maggie’s laundry magician mom Peggy) about the essentials you should keep on hand to solve your own laundry quandaries! "Does the film around detergent pods really biodegrade? A debate is raging," Allyson Chiu, Washington Post.

We call out the “invisible” marketing techniques that fill us with a sense of need on a regular basis, and how we can be more mindful (and hopefully overcome them). Then we will shift into talking about how to build a wardrobe that embodies the slow fashion way of life. And how to avoid the trap of “novelty” items that can only be worn once or twice. We will also discuss the importance of closet organization and how to approach a closet clean out in a productive way. Also: Amanda goes down a rabbit hole of fake review scams.

Jeanna didn't want to follow the binary of "donation bin or trash bin," so she decided to rehome her possessions in a more intentional, impactful way. She shares her story and suggestion with us!

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदThe thrift industry has a major impact on the humans working within it. Wages are low, expectations are high, and there is little room for advancement. Also: it’s gross and frequently dangerous. In 2021, Dylan and Ryan worked for one of the largest thrift store chains in the United States. They share their experiences making sense of the unwanted stuff of strangers. Also: Amanda explains why it's not GAME OVER, but rather GAME ON in the fight for reproductive justice and civil rights. NEW AUDIO ESSAY SERIES!!! In honor of Clotheshorse's upcoming TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY(!), let's share our own sustainability/slow fashion journeys! What made you start to care more about sustainability, particularly in regards to things you wear? What changes were most difficult? What were the easiest? How do you think slow fashion could be more accessible to others? And how do you find yourself making changes on a regular basis? Do you have any tips for others? Okay, but what is an audio essay? It’s a recording you make--using either your phone or your computer. You email it to me at amanda@clotheshorse.world, and I edit and mix it, and add it to an episode. I will not accept written essays for this. I recommend that you write it all out, then record it. It’s okay if you make a mistake while recording, just say that part again and keep talking. I’ll edit it when I put it in the episode! Record in a quiet room, away from fans/air conditioners. The deadline for this project is July 1 , so you have a few weeks to get this done. Your recording should be anywhere from 3 minutes to 10 minutes long. Have questions/comments/cute animal photos?
