Articles of Interest - 1. Kids’ Clothes

Clothes are records of the bodies we’ve lived in. Think of the old sweater that you used to have that’s just not your style anymore, or the jeans that just aren’t your size anymore. We are like snakes who shed our skins and grow new ones as we age. And it all starts in the kids’ department.

Articles of Interest is a show about what we wear, created by Avery Trufelman; a six-part series within 99% Invisible, looking at clothing.

the memory palace - Episode 135: Revolutions

The Memory Palace is a proud member of Radiotopia.

Music

  • We start off with an absolute banger from my old friends in Lightning Bolt, their track King Kandy.

  • Then an old favorite, Blues to Elvin from the unstoppable, Coltrane Plays the Blues.

  • We move to Everything is an Illusion by Kaada

  • Hear Rolling by Collectress

  • And finish out on The Dog by Group Listening.

Notes

  • I read quite a bit for this one but nothing was more helpful (or more charming) than Save Womens Lives History of Washing Machines by Lee Maxwell, who bills himself on the cover as "Collector of Old and Unusual Washing Machines." God bless Lee and his patient wife.
