About this listen

Unspun, is a podcast by Population. Three sustainability experts, Lauren Hill, Danielle Arzaga and Catherine Tedrow unravel what’s holding us back from regeneration and liberation in the fashion and home industries. The world was already at a tipping point when the pandemic hit. Fashion brands cancelled orders, leaving garment workers unpaid. Not long after, the same workers put their lives at risk to make PPE. In the midst of all this, a racial reckoning swept the U.S. triggering the greatest wave of wokewashing the country had ever seen.


It may not seem like it, but these problems are all interconnected. On this podcast we look at the whole system—and the people within it—to discover why and what it will take to create change.
