COMMUNITY FAVORITES: Episode 131, Broken Glass, Dirty Underwear, and An Inexplicable Amount of Dildos (Working In A Thrift Store) with Dylan + Ryan

<p><em>While Amanda takes a few weeks off to go to Japan, do a bunch of research and reading, work on outreach for future guests, and just generally get inspired and rested, let's revisit some of the favorite episodes of the Clotheshorse community.</em></p><p>The thrift industry has a major impact on the humans working within it.  Wages are low, expectations are high, and there is little room for advancement.  Also: it’s gross and frequently dangerous.  In 2021, Dylan and Ryan worked for one of the largest thrift store chains in the United States. They share their experiences making sense of the unwanted stuff of strangers.   This episode was released in June 2022, and it ties in SO WELL to the recent ethics of secondhand resale series.</p><p>If you want to share your opinion/additional thoughts on the subjects we cover in each episode, feel free to email, whether it’s a typed out message or an audio recording: <strong> amanda@clotheshorse.world</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong>Check out Amanda's other podcast,<a href="https://thedepartment.world/"> The Department.</a></p><p><strong>Find the transcript at </strong><a href="https://www.clotheshorsepodcast.com/episodes"><strong>clotheshorsepodcast.com</strong></a></p><p><br>Want to support Amanda's work on Clotheshorse?
