Style Meets History with Roxy Haji and Kimi Gallegos
Fashion fiends, history buffs, political junkies - the show you've all been waiting for has arrived. I am very happy to be able to speak with Roxy Haji and Kimi Gallegos of Old News Co. about the intersection of fashion, history, and political discourse.
We discuss:
Things that people who love history can pursue in the real word that do not necessarily involve the traditional historian career path.
The connection between studying fashion and studying history...yes, there is one :)
A non-partisan approach to business in a politically charged era.
Listening to people with whom you do not necessarily agree.
The fine line between commemoration and trivialization.
Maybe some news about James Buchanan.
The future of political fashion.
You'll want to check out the book recs, of course...Kimi suggests we check out the controversial but extraordinarily important A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn and Roxy says we need to check out The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism by Doris Kearns Goodwin. Done and done.
And naturally, you should follow Old News Co. on all the usual social suspects - Twitter and Instagram
