Lace and Labor: Lessons from the actual Luddites

Echoing the sentiment about this podcast in general. Its fantastic for well researched, tightly focused deep dives on some fascinating topics in fashion and fashion history. There are a couple of seasons that are long form one topic over the whole season, and a couple that are self contained episodic. Both formats are excellent, but for obvious reasons the self contained ones are a great way to pick one that grabs your fancy and see if its for you!

Oh, great to see this mentioned here. The podcast are great, although I have not listened to this one. The one about zippers was very entertaining. She also has a series about the interdependence between military and outdoor garment industry. Great stuff!
