Ep.2 The Climate Crisis and AI Walk into a Bar


Listen Later

At the top of episode 2, hosts Rebecca and Logan give us the important deets about their Homecoming weekends and outfits: hair bows and off-the-shoulder tops were all the rage at Queen's this year. With Halloween on the horizon, the girls discuss costumes of the past and the present and might reveal what they're dressing up as this year. Following the weekly R.E.P.O.R.T. (including discussions of Rebecca’s alleged Swiftie status and more Cogro chai laments), the hosts dive into this week's topic.


Rebecca and Logan review the Business of Fashion website, each selecting and discussing an article. Rebecca highlights an Op-Ed piece from the sustainability section that reveals the climate costs that come with fashion week, discusses overproduction, and how we can be smarter consumers. Logan presents a technology article focused on artificial intelligence, and how AI is being used (or even abused) in both fashion and creative industries.
