  • Giving Flowers with Jamaal Tuhrik
    Nov 12 2025

    This week, we wanted to introduce a new member of the Duds team. @Jamaal_Tuhrik came on board a couple of months ago to help with production, social media, and ideas to expand the show and, boy, did we luck out!

    A fellow 90s kid, we explore his early days of learning to love clothing, the ways in which we discern influences as we age, dressing for yourself, gaining inspiration from the world around you, building community, integrity in fashion, and, as always, a hell of a lot more!

  • At the Edge of Bad Taste with Dr. Evan Thomas Woods
    Nov 5 2025

    “What if you took the idea about go to hell pants and expanded it to every part of your life?” Our next guest, Dr. Evan Thomas Woods, Senior Lecturer at The Ohio State University, posed this very question on our program this week. Listen up, Dr. Woods is maybe the third or fourth PhD who we have coerced into appearing here, and we got pretty cerebral.

    We pondered Columbus, Ohio, “value theory,” ethics and aesthetics, the “need to be systematized,” the ups and downs of veganism, “Standing up against a world that’s becoming flat and conformist,” “use it or lose it” creativity, HIS TRIPLE DIGIT COLLECTION OF JACKETS, fuck you jackets, go to hell pants, pulling inspiration from old paintings, “pattern maximalism,” fit pic philosophy, “school picture day smile,” Ivy brands: J. Press, J. Crew, Ralph Lauren, Chipp, etc, collecting, collections, so throw caution to the wind, and check it out!

  • A Medium Is the Message with Julia Z. Caisip
    Oct 14 2025

    This week, we have an extraordinary guest from the windy hot dog stand of Chicago, Julia Z. Caisip @sartorialfantasybox was kind enough to grace us with her knowing presence. An amazing writer, a student of aesthetics, and someone who blurs the lines of many subcultures, it was a fantastic conversation.

    We talked Eastern European fiction, the concept of “Writing Up,” finding subculture through an identity crisis, how Ivy is the punk of tailored clothing, embracing queer and butch culture, Dress Sneaker Hate Fest, DND, Steam Punk, character study, stunted American sexuality, and a shoutout to high school English teachers, and a mustard squirt more!

  • Friction with Nico Lazaro
    Oct 6 2025

    A heavy hitter and #menswear Tumblr OG, Nico Lazaro has been, like Forrest Gump, everywhere in recent clothing history. We praised a return to long-form writing, moving to and adjusting to LA, working with a handful of upcoming brands, including, you may have heard of it, Grailed.com, early adoption of social media, sharing his passion for clothing in palatable ways, getting back to his roots, as everyone seems to be doing, these days, the cyclical nature of fashion, and more!

  • Punk Rock Santa Claus with Bill Stevenson
    Sep 26 2025

    With this show, we get to do something people don't often get to do: interview people we really admire and look up to. Well, here's mine, for today, I have known Bill Stevenson since I moved in behind his studio in Baltimore in maybe 2012?

    He has been a friend and mentor since. We talk about the ethos of punk rock, DIY Ideology, New York in the 80s, Misfits, New York Dolls, Danzig, giving people more than what they buy, ie stickers, totes, etc, doing your own thing, Ian Mackaye, poverty, optimism, graffiti, tattooing, the first tattoo he did, cease and desist letters, his top 5 hardcore records, fatherhood, and not much fashion! Listen up!
