  • Great Perspectives and Guests

    Love the diverse perspectives, breadth of guests, and depth of knowledge. So much to dive into. Menswear can feel stale if you stay in one or two little bubbles, so I love the podcast’s approach to the familiar from different angles. Bonus points for an interviewer that gives the guests space to speak rather than cutting them off or talking over them!
