podcast ‘threads’ unpicks the fast fashion industry
Veronica Milsom’s new pod is for fashionable folks who care about what happens to their old duds.
There’s nothing – we repeat – NOTHING more disappointing than being half way out the door, earphones popped in, when you discover that the new episode of your favourite podcast has not yet dropped. But it’s always there at this time on this day… where could it possibly be?
In this terribly sad scenario, you have two choices:
1. Spend 10 minutes desperately searching for something, anything, to listen to and risk missing your train/bus/tram/space ship in the process.
2. Give up and accept that the only sounds you’ll be hearing are the dulcet tones of peak-hour traffic and the occasional chirpy bird.
To avoid having to consider either of those options, allow us to suggest a new pod that is currently captivating our earholes: Threads. Hosted by radio presenter and comedian Veronica Milsom, this pod delves into the world of fast fashion, including marketing tactics, greenwashing and the concerning stats behind our bad shopping habits. (This all sounds rather doom and gloom, but Veronica is good at her job, so the pod will leave you feeling informed rather than sad.)
If all this sounds up your alley (or you want a back-up pod in case of future emergencies) then step right this way.
