But Sarah Gonzalez has pulled back the curtain on the U.S.

garment industry for an episode of Planet Money that I think is one of the best pieces of fashion journalism I have ever heard.

I couldn't not share it with you.

After the break.

After doing that story, it still sticks with Sarah.

To this day, she cannot look at a piece of clothing without imagining all the many hands that touched it.

Take it away with the credit, Sarah.

This episode, I added music by Lella Tone, Sasami Ashworth, and Ray Royal, but... I have not found a perfect, simple white t-shirt.

If you have any tips... Actually, if you want my humble suggestions for simple, relatively ethical, good white t-shirts, go to articlesofinterest.substack.com.
