    So well done!
    This podcast always sticks with me. It’s well researched, the story of each episode is always so well told, and each interview is so interesting and compelling. I listen to a lot of podcasts and even a few podcasts specifically about fashion and fashion history, and rarely do any of them stick with me as much as Articles of Interest, Avery just always creates such interesting, nuanced episodes that I think about for weeks and months after listening!! Please keep it up!!! :)
  • KNSont
    Love this show
    I love this podcast. I am not even interested in fashion! But the host is amazing, the subjects are fascinating, and I learn something new and interesting every episode. I just finished Modesty and was a little misty eyed by the end. So well done. I can’t say enough good things.
  • jo mccall
    thoroughly researched, beautiful storytelling, one of my favorites
    Avery is incredible at looking at different facets fashion through an anthropological lens. I love how she brings in a variety of experts and tries to tell a fuller story of our relationship to fashion. Such a treat to listen to; I look forward to every episode.
  • Eva C H
    Excellent
    I’ve listened to and enjoyed every episode of this show, and want to offer special praise for the modesty episode. It is a timely and sensitive exploration of cultural dress codes that are so often misunderstood by outsiders to a particular culture. Enlightening and uplifting. Thank you.
  • fauxmenco
    Avid listener
    This is my favorite podcast of all time. I hope more seasons keep coming!!
  • oldjohnhall
    Enjoyable
    There are real moments of poetry in the copy of the denim episode. Well done
  • La Manifesta
    History through the lens of clothing and fashion
    I was a fan of Avery Trufelman for years on both the 99% Invisible and Nice Try! podcasts, so I was excited when Articles of Interest spun off as its own podcast. It's a fascinating look into history, through the lens of clothing and fashion. Not only am I always entertained an educated by the episodes, Avery has changed the way I dress—I am the proud owner of a Polo Snow Beach Pullover because of the series she did on preppy style. I eagerly await new episodes. And it’s worth subscribing to her Substack newsletter as well, which is both a companion piece to the podcast episodes and a source of more things you didn’t know you needed to know, but you did.
  • TASAWA
    I can’t get enough of this show!
    The show takes you on a deep dive into detailed aspects of fashion and after every episode I come away smarter, and thoroughly entertained. Keep up the great work!
  • sudojul
    Smart. Well-researched. Fashion.
    For someone who loves fashion as an expression of culture, time, necessity, and expression, I love every second of this podcast.
  • AustinLady78704
    The Robert Caro of podcasters
    Thorough, entertaining, and educational.
  • jjjakaksjjf
    Just brilliant
    I adore this podcast. Always fascinating fun smart and beautifully hosted. Sad there will be so few episodes this season but can’t wait to learn more about Avery’s book!! Thank you for all you do!
  • Gator412
    A sharp and stylish podcast
    This is such a great show. The amount of detail and care taken with such a ubiquitous topic is amazing. Avery is a really good host and producer, her intonation is some of the best in the podcast world, her interviewees are top notch, and the layout and final product is always engaging. A must listen even if you don’t care about clothing at all.
  • JennevaK
    More please!
    This is one of my most cherished shows that I pounce on the minute it comes out, hoping there will be more episodes soon!
  • AliHombre
    Love! Fascinating, engrossing
    Such a great podcast! So many fascinating topics within the broader theme of clothing. You won’t be disappointed.
  • Jojogunne2
    A favorite
    Having listened to 99% invisible, I was already a fan of Avery and love her on her own and sharing such interesting details of clothing and their history. Many of my saved podcasts are Articles of Interest! Thank you, Avery🙏love learning from you.
  • RottiWeiller
    Intensely and endlessly interesting!
    Brilliant !! I can’t get enough of this podcast, it is so dense it really needs to be a visual documentary so we can see everything but the history behind everything was a joy, and the people interviewed were so obscure and yet so important I can’t believe this isn’t more widely known. Thank you so much I’ve binged on the whole thing, stop some more!💚💚💚
  • dateeverynight
    Huge fan
    So well written and delivered even better by the host. Her voice is honey, delivered at a nice pace. The information is thorough and even if you think fashion is boring, you may find this entertaining. Much love !
  • Folkie Girl
    Even if fashion isn’t your jam…
    Fashion and I are strangers sharing an apartment. I have my style, but I haven’t looked at a fashion magazine since I was a teenager. So why am I reviewing a clothing and fashion podcast, and more importantly, why do I listen? Because the show is well researched and written and through it, I begin to understand how and why and when styles and fashions evolved. I care about people and situations I would never have exposed myself to without assistance. Like ex cons and prison clothing. They put people’s drive to express themselves into context for people who aren’t as savvy on the sub cultures. The delivery is serious without an in group speaking to an out group. That’s appreciated. Greatly. I started with an episode recommended to me, and minutes in, I subscribed.
  • Anarchy Bean
    More than fashion history
    This podcast has so many different angles and perspectives. Every single episode is deep and thought-provoking and engaging. She’s using the history and technology of fashion as a lens to look at all these other parts of our world and explain how we got where we are. If you love 99% invisible or Dressed, you will love this.
  • Meagan Areading
    Surprising
    Great breadth of perspectives. The interviews are interesting and add to the complexity of each topic
  • Reliableness
    God send
    This was in great part what got me through finals. I love Avery and I really hope she makes more. I will watch, listen and read anything from her.
  • Walrusman01
    A lot of fun
    I loved the initial shot season and I’m so glad it’s bigger now!
  • SadieWit
    Learn something new each episode
    I've never considered myself a fashion/clothes person, but this podcast has really inspired me. From the history of denim to the cultural crossroads of Hawaiian shirts, this show educated me on a world right under my nose
  • Glitz && Glamour
    almost perfect
    I think this podcast is incredible and beautiful and precisely researched but I hate outro theme
  • dg5490
    Beautifully Produced Show
    Avery’s producing and her voiceover descriptions are so freaking good im constantly in awe of this show
  • aravindas
    So insightful and interesting
    I’m not a fashion person at all but I find such great info, interviews and perspectives in this show. It’s a keeper.
  • Asa 1a3!
    This show is great!
    I am not a fashion person, but I do love curious stories and interesting information. This show is absolutely full of stories that explore the curious connections that make our world what it is. It’s really well done! You should check it out. You’ll never look at clothing the same way again!
  • yellikeh
    More! More! More-please!
    Well researched and doubly informative!
  • Remember Doug
    Avery Is The Best Podcaster
    Between this, Nice Try!, and 99pi, Avery Trufelman is just the best podcaster. Every show she makes, especially this one, is incredible!
  • thegoodbygirl
    Thank you for making the Plus Sizes episode!
    Also much 💜 to Ronald Young Jr. and Sarah Dealy. I’d love to hear more episodes around fat bodies and fashion.
  • Maddstar18
    Thank you and you’re welcome
    First, THANK YOU Avery!! This podcast is a true gem and every time I wonder how you are going to craft a whole episode out of something as mundane as “pockets” I find myself completely enraptured and wanting more! Your story weaving is a rare gift and we are all better for it. Second, to the people whom I have babbled to about this podcast and sent episodes with emphatic “you MUST listen to this” texts, YOU’RE WELCOME!! I know, this podcast really is as good as I said and it’s okay that you were skeptical at first. Hopefully Avery does more live shows and we can fangirl together.
  • lovestateofundressssss
    Best Podcast without a doubt being made.
    Avery, sincerely thank you for making this show that is thoughtful, intelligent, and very interesting. It gives me hope there are still creative people making quality programming!! It is hands down my all time favorite podcast, I listen to and try many podcasts during the work day and your show is in a class of its own. Great work!! Chris
  • frivolousgravity
    Best Fashion Podcast
    No other pods even come close—this show is a gem. Fascinating, thoughtful, unique.
  • Ann KG
    Not a fashion person, love the show
    I’m not a fashion person, whatever that means, but I love the show. We all wear clothes and the stories behind them are fascinating. Keep it up if you can, Avery.
  • benfrost1980
    The best podcast I know.
    Ms. Trufelman has the best voice in radio. Every episode is a subject I daily encounter but never think about. This is a show for fashion nerds, this is a show for people who know nothing about fashion to find out it’s interesting and they care. Thanks for all the hard work on Articles of Interest. I appreciate the quality over quantity. Keep doing live interviews and events and let your listeners know about them!
  • LNDC93
    Absolutely Terrific!
    Avery is incredibly talented and creative, and every element of this podcast is so well done. The interviews, the storytelling, the research, the sound (including her voice) and the insights. I cannot recommend this show enough.
  • Wrhkhg
    Take Your Time with Season 5, Avery!
    The shows are wonderful, whatever you dive into. I have a long drive daily. Articles of interest keeps me on the road. The American Ivy season influenced what I buy. I got a Van jacket from Japan with a dragon embroidered on the back. The coat is great, but linking it into the history I learned from you makes it even better. Thanks.
  • CesarioJKViola
    Fascinating and accessible fashion podcast!
    As someone who knows very little about fashion, I initially wasn’t sure if I would enjoy this show. I loved the first episode I heard. It was all about pockets! She takes simple and complex concepts and makes them accessible and interesting. This podcast is fun and well researched! It makes you truly appreciate the clothes you wear and the world around you 😊 I highly recommend subscribing!
  • Be_Inventive
    Helping my “fun facts” become more fun
    I love the way each of these podcasts are written and edited. You really get engaged quickly. Avery comes across as passionate and interested and really makes both her guests and topics shine. There’s a good structure and flow to everything. I do have to fight the urge to summarize the episodes to everyone the day after listening to an episode. I do still sprinkle things I learned from this podcast into conversations. People do need to know fun facts about ballet shoes. Have recommended to many people; will continue to recommend to people. I look forward to every episode, and haven’t found a single episode I disliked.
  • lucG
    The best. Period.
    I love this show. It’s fascinating, well told, and really opened my eyes as a self proclaimed “fashion person”. I am always so excited when I see a new episode on my feed. We’ll done Avery!
  • Artist + Human
    Podcast excellence!
    Articles of Interest is by far my favorite podcast. Thank you Avery for creating such enjoyable and fascinating episodes. Your hard work is greatly appreciated. I am always interested, inspired and engaged. I also love the accessible sound atmosphere of the entire show (inviting and warm, not at all harsh or jarring) it is a joy to listen to. I can’t wait for more, I’ll just have to revisit past episodes until new ones land in my feed.
  • B?$nm!
    Ms
    “Articles of Interest” has become my favorite podcast! I am waiting with bated breath for another season with more episodes!
  • Jamie5555
    This show is amazing.
    Clever, interesting, though provoking, and an informative dive into each topic, this show had me hooked after I listened to my first episode. Avery Trufelman’s voice, cadence, and story telling keeps (me) hooked and I get very excited when an episode is released. Do yourself a favor, subscribe and listen to this show. I can not recommend it more. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  • margoisssy
    Best fashion and history podcast!!
    Avery pulls me down the rabbit hole of paper dresses, corduroy, or paisley. She uncovers the stories behind these cultural clothing icons by working with experts. I love her work and sometimes wish I could hop into the podcast and make it happen with her. My most recommended podcast to all friends working in and out of fashion. ❤️
  • vwwvvvwwww
    Listen to Articles!
    This is at the top of my favorite podcasts. Smart, intelligent, informative, funny, innovative….I am regularly recommending episodes to my art/design students because of their cultural relevance. Definitely have a crush on Articles and cannot wait for more!
  • PhlashPhlash
    Simply the best
    Somehow I am surprised Every Single Episode by how great this show is. I nearly always share the episode with someone, different people, it’s just so interesting and ends up taking such unexpected turns along the way. It’s appropriate that it came out of 99pi because Avery uses the lens of fashion/clothing to explore the whole world. And does it so naturally and compellingly, with a structure that is so tight but doesn’t feel compressed at all. Anyway. I love it. You will too.
  • mpsmyth
    Insightful and fascinating
    Avery Trufelman is a terrific journalist who investigates niches in clothing and fashion that you didn't even know you were interested in learning about. She is a wonderful storyteller who takes you on a satisfying journey every single episode.
  • Lover Bugz
    Brilliant and engrossing
    Avery is a master interviewer, storyteller, and social commentator. Her stories are brilliant and engrossing. I always learn something new. The season on prep was my favorite. It was so well researched (as all her episodes are) and beautifully composed. I’ve been listening to AOI since I learned about it on 99 PI and always look forward to future seasons.
  • Looking to understand at all
    Listen to every episode
    I cannot over emphasize how much I love the show. I do not work in the fashion industry, and yet I share knowledge I’ve gained from this podcast every time an episode drops with whom ever I encounter. The information shared with the listener is eye-opening to the world around us and thoroughly interesting.
  • SisterStacie
    Fascinating
    I love the way this podcast brings fascinating details about everyday objects to light! I always come away having learned something that I never knew was even an interesting topic. Articles of Interest indeed!
