- Oh, great to see this mentioned here. The podcast are great, although I have not listened to this one. The one about zippers was very entertaining. She also has a series about the interdependence between military and outdoor garment industry. Great stuff!

by js2 - Echoing the sentiment about this podcast in general. Its fantastic for well researched, tightly focused deep dives on some fascinating topics in fashion and fashion history. There are a couple of seasons that are long form one topic over the whole season, and a couple that are self contained episodic. Both formats are excellent, but for obvious reasons the self contained ones are a great way to pick one that grabs your fancy and see if its for you!by azath92
