The podcast up in my queue today was the excellent first chapter of @trufelman.bsky.social's Articles of Interest: Gear, on the origins of American outdoor wear and its relationship with the military. Teddy Roosevelt's machismo and the Spanish-American War hits like a gut punch today...

Come for the making fun of Army uniforms but stay for maybe the most profound examination of the CIV-MIL divide I’ve heard in a long time.

This is genuinely the best podcast I’ve listened to this year! @trufelman.bsky.social has done such a fascinating, immaculately researched deep dive - it is absolutely worth the listen. Every single episode had a reveal moment that made me gasp, laugh or immediately text my friends in recognition. 💕
