Today's episode is a re-issue (a vintage episode from our archives!) of an interview with Ellen, the founder and editor in chief of Mildew Magazine, a brand new print magazine about vintage and secondhand fashion!

For several years, Ellen has been the deputy editor of Broccoli – a magazine for cannabis lovers – and also the deputy editor of Mushroom People, a magazine for mushroom hunters! She's the co-founder of Neuro Fuzzy Press, and indie press that publishes zines with work from emerging artists.

And now we have Mildew, the Secondhand Fashion Magazine – available now for pre-order! I'm so proud to say I'm a contributing writer for this magazine, and I can't wait for you to hear all about the piece + plus the other incredible sounding features that will be in this first issue.

So, let's dive right in!
