Episode 35: a conversation with Rhonda Riche
Rhonda is an author, editor, journalist, filmmaker, thrifter extraordinaire, and our friend. We were so happy when she agreed to sit in the hot seat, I mean, be our guest for this episode. We think you'll really enjoy it, and if you're lucky, you might bump into her at a local watch event near you.
