    Introducing History Daily...

    Today we introduce you to one of our favorite history podcasts, History Daily. And one of the reasons that we think you all will enjoy History Daily’s content is we share a common belief as they say that “History is human.” History Daily finds the overlooked and often forgotten human stories behind the names and dates of ordinary history.  Which we love!

    Please enjoy these two fifteen minute History Daily episodes on historical figures for whom fashion and dress played somewhat of defining role in their lives… a couple of sassy lady pirates and then after the sponsor break, an episode about Marie Antoinette’s husband, King Louis XVI.

    Happy listening and Dressed will be back as regularly scheduled next week.

    Leigh Bowery: Phantasmagoric Couturier, an interview with Fiontán Moran, Part II

    In this week's two-part episode, we explore the work of the "phantasmagoric couturier" Leigh Bowery, who has been described as "artist and art object, a thing to see, to experience." Primarily using dress and his own body as his medium of expression, Bowery's work was equally at home in contemporary art institutions and in the London club scene during the 1980s and 1990s. Tate Modern curator Fiontán Moran joins us this week to speak about the exhibition ⁠Leigh Bowery!⁠ which is on view now at the Tate through August 31, 2025.
