Summary

Candice Lim and Kate Lindsay may not agree on thrifting, but they can confirm we’re living through a “digital thrift revolution.” From Depop to ThredUp, it’s never been easier for people to donate and shop their used clothing.

This podcast is produced by Alexandra Botti, Daisy Rosario, Candice Lim, and Kate Lindsay. P.S.
