Articles of Interest is a podcast about what we wear. It began as a critically acclaimed, mini-series within the 99% Invisible podcast, and now is its own separate independent production with Radiotopia

Created by Avery Trufelman, Articles of Interest covers a broad range of concepts including the rise of casual wear, the environmental impact of the textile industry and why womenswear doesn’t have pockets. You can listen to seasons one or two on this page, and then find season three and beyond via the Articles of Interest website.
