Apocalypse Duds

This week, we improbably welcome Future Miss Canada, herself, a PhD who is not a Pretty Huge D***, yet another genius guest for our worthy audience, Dr. Cyana Madsen. Now, many of our guests have had labyrinthine CVs, resumes, slide decks, and more, but Dr. Madsen’s is so vast and impressive, you must see for yourself! We talked about clothing, history, ownership, Weird Al, Canada, the UK, America, “curatorial interruption,” and much more!

A bowtie race, Life in Hamburg, another perspective on American hip-hop's influence, German Humor, “Most Extreme Trousers,” “Foot Cleavage,” Morning Routine, Lederhosen, (cars), field hockey, The Fresh Prince, and more! 

John Tinseth, aka “The TRADINATOR” @thetrad came on our program, and just like that, another White Whale…unharmed. This program does not support whaling...but boy did we wail!!!

We had a great chat about language in clothing, regretting his chosen moniker, the life of a military brat, making immediate connections with like-minded people, encountering your heroes, and so much more!

“He’ll be back…” as a recurring guest…we hope…

And now, a show the algorithm will censor: we had a rambunctious conversation with author, activist, and auteur Barry W. Lynn. Though Barry arrived to the interview wearing head to toe Ed Hardy, surprisingly (or not) we didn’t talk about clothing very much at all!

Barry Lynn on going toe to toe with America’s worst people; the sins of our recent past (the Reagan admin, NAFTA, neoliberalism); his radicalizing moment; “process theology;" using existing frameworks to take down assholes, and a hog's head more!

A European Geography Lesson, How He Got Hooked On Clothing, Ancestral Influences, The Tragedy of Business Casual, Sweating Bullets Over Climate Change, Team No Undershirt, Visual Diary of Fit Pics, and more! 

On this week’s episode we had the pleasure of hosting Style and Direction’s @ethanmwong. What does the M stand for? Find out! We talked about his clothing origin story, how to dress when it’s hotter than hell, Inspector Gadget’s trench coat, gatekeeping, “Dapper Day” at Disneyland, cinematic dressing, life of a podcasting OG, being addicted to getting stuff done, and a whooole lot more.

In an interview close to the original thrust of the show, we speak with Baltimore knife artist, Henry Hyde, on the meandering path from making toys out of sticks as a kid to forging and smithing cutting-edge kitchen implements, most especially knives. We talk about imagination, his favorite building in Baltimore (it’s in Sandtown!) Instagram cooking videos, John Prine, importing his dream vehicle, boots, and more!

Pulling back the curtain on one of Instagram’s most mysterious recluses: @fez. We secured a global exclusive, an hour-long interview with an inspiring, enigmatic creative. We go back and forth about writing, writing clothing, motorcycle gangs, thrifting abroad, Kalamazoo, hoarding and other compulsions, resellers, Steely Dan, and a gobble more…because Fez lives in Turkey…

This week, we checked in with our friend for his sequel episode, the Ramblin’ Man himself, Jim Parker. We talked about what’s been going on with his brand, @tazewellclothes, we learn the trials and tribulations of making clothes in the USA, the day-to-day life of a working musician, his signature guitar tone, music gear, the Solar Eclipse, making the perfect OCBD; and also talk a little shit about a certain book. All this, and more,  coming at you in this great conversation.
