I say it every season, but Avery @trufelman.bsky.social's Articles of Interest is an exemplary podcast and I cannot recommend it enough. This season was "Gear": all about the interplay between the military, fashion, and the outdoor industry.

The podcast up in my queue today was the excellent first chapter of @trufelman.bsky.social's Articles of Interest: Gear, on the origins of American outdoor wear and its relationship with the military. Teddy Roosevelt's machismo and the Spanish-American War hits like a gut punch today...

come for the incredible interview and stay for the cute cat www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp2G...

Still drying my eyes after listening to @trufelman.bsky.social’s MASTERPIECE on Gear for #ArticlesOfInterest. I learned SO MUCH and was so moved. Cannot recommend enough! open.substack.com/pub/articles...

This year brought a new season of @trufelman.bsky.social ‘Articles of Interest,’ and it’s all about military gear. From buckskin breeches to Patagonia vests, uncover how America’s obsession with ruggedness shaped the clothes we wear each day. Hear the best moment: harkaudio.com/best-new-pod...

my dirty secret is that I love The Economist so much and so this characteristically dry terse writeup of the podcast is making me swoon www.economist.com/culture/2025...

“Why is she talking about Finland?” Oh god yes. I am the biggest @trufelman.bsky.social fangirl anyway but this is going to be good castro.fm/episode/IBauUN

Come for the making fun of Army uniforms but stay for maybe the most profound examination of the CIV-MIL divide I’ve heard in a long time. (ps, I’ve been a fan of this show since the beginning, but @trufelman.bsky.social really outdid herself with this one)

This is genuinely the best podcast I’ve listened to this year! @trufelman.bsky.social has done such a fascinating, immaculately researched deep dive - it is absolutely worth the listen. Every single episode had a reveal moment that made me gasp, laugh or immediately text my friends in recognition. 💕

@trufelman.bsky.social es la mejor. Ojalá la pueda traer a mi club de escucha

I’ve been a fan of articles of interest since the beginning, but the new season about the rise of the outdoor industry and its symbiotic relationship with the military is a whole new level of

This has been an incredible journey through a tough subject via Avery’s fantastic storytelling. One of her best to date.

Joan Jett Blakk was the first drag queen to run for president. Joan had a major stroke last year- to support her need for lifelong care, her iconic 1992 presidential campaign poster has been re-released as a limited edition t-shirt. I got one! www.willienorris.world/products/x-j...

And its done. This is the last chapter of the series substack.com/inbox/post/1...

A Florida-based company is charging military veterans as much as $20,000 for help with disability claims, even though the VA has said that may be illegal and the service should be free. But so far nobody's stopping the company and others like it.

Spotted in Wellington, New Zealand! Proceeded to explain all about the current state of army surplus thanks to @trufelman.bsky.social! Highly recommend this season and all past ones of Articles of Interest www.articlesofinterest.co/podcast

so cool to be part of this

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was once politely asked to leave a restaurant and it generated 100x as much handwringing from the media as this will

Here’s something for everyone who tuned into a podcast about military gear and fashion, and found themselves riveted by the history of American imperialism. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/b...

The podcast Article of Interest did a fascinating podcast episode on the zipper. It's a complicated piece of technology whose existence is new and not a given - we had plenty of other fasteners - snaps and buttons. And while YKK is now the world's largest zipper maker the zipper was invented in NJ

And now, Chapter 3. Gear gets available for the whole family articlesofinterest.substack.com/p/gear-chapt...

And beneath this writeup of this totally incredible nonagenarian is a little Q&A with a fashion podcaster who is covering the military www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/s...

On the long lists of "things that haven't been around as long as you thought" and "things that came out of military research," the concept of layering clothing is one of the most surprising on both lists.

The next chapter of GEAR is out today. substack.com/inbox/post/1... The military invented layering. That's right. LAYERING

Interviewee: "The other is a much deeper question -- it's a historical question" Avery Trufelman (host): "hell yeah, here we go!" Exactly why I love this podcast. Psyched for the new season on American outdoors clothes.

I am so excited to vote for Zohran Mamdani

Should I make this shirt

honestly could have pressed @trufelman.bsky.social harder about why someone who just spent years researching the outdoor industry and its connection to the military doesn't wear raincoats... Please forgive me for my journalistic negligence www.fieldmag.com/articles/ave...
