Fur is everywhere during the winter season—from coats and hats to holiday gifts and fashion displays—but where does it actually come from, and what does it represent today?

In this episode, we explore the long history of fur, the realities of the modern fur industry, and why fur becomes especially visible during the holidays. We look at fur as a symbol of warmth, luxury, and tradition, while also examining the ethical and environmental debates surrounding its use. As consumers become more aware of their fashion choices, fur has become more than just a material—it’s a conversation about values, responsibility, and awareness.

This episode encourages listeners to think critically about what they wear and buy during the holiday season, and how fashion choices can reflect personal beliefs.
