Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast focuses on topics like slow fashion, upcycling, and sustainable creativity, with each episode featuring unique stories from local creators. For example, Episode 3 discusses upcycled fashion and chronic illness with designer Samantha Gottlich, while Episode 2 explores the intersection of UX design and slow fashion with Melissa Woods of Trued Apparel, and Episode 1 features Kelly Dempsey discussing alternative economies through her barter platform, Barterloo.
Local Threads is a storytelling podcast documenting the voices of New England’s creative community. Artists, organizers, and culture makers who shape spaces, movements, and shared experiences.
This week’s episode is with local fashion designer Kenard Smith, and when I say fashion designer, I really mean multihyphenate because Kenard does it all. Fashion, photography, catering, mentoring, teaching, playing the drums, all while maintaining a level of discipline that I could only aspire to achieve. Kenard has only been sewing for around three years self-taught to now teaching all ages at his studio in Cape Cod. It was a pleasure to chat with him this episode and to learn from his optimized lifestyle where he really pours into himself. I hope you all enjoy as much as I did!
