In the iconic The Devil Wears Prada, Miranda Priestly delivers a scathing monologue about the cultural twists and turns that led to the creation of the blue sweater worn by Anne Hathaway’s character. Now imagine if you got stories like that in podcast form, with a much friendlier host.
That’s Articles of Interest — a podcast that talks about the history, culture, and strangely fascinating stories behind the clothes we wear. They tell us why plus-size women’s fashion features so many cold-shoulder tops. And why paper dresses became a sudden trend back in the ‘60s. And why has there been absolutely no innovation for the beautiful torture device that is the ballet shoe? And so much more.
I’m no fashionista, but this podcast is fascinating, and anyone who is fond of their closet’s contents might think so too. Go listen.Â
