Lounging around has been taking up most of our days. Procrastinating on classwork, binging Netflix, attempting to start new hobbies, baking banana bread…need I go on? Recently, I’ve added another activity to this list: podcasts!
Usually, I’m only a big podcast-listener when I’m traveling, as I find that they pass the time. This makes them perfect for chilling at home. Put one on while you’re cooking, scrolling through your phone, or taking a walk. While there are podcasts on just about any subject you can think of, here are some narrowed down to the fashion field that will allow you to stay updated and educated about what’s happening in the fashion world right now, whether it’s history, interviews, or art. I’ve linked the podcasts in the headings for easy access. Happy listening!
