Gadget Lab: Our Clothes Are Making Us Sick

Have a Nice Future is off this week, so instead we're sharing an episode of WIRED's other podcast, Gadget Lab. Its hosted by Have a Nice Future cohost Lauren Goode and WIRED senior editor Michael Calore. Each week they unpack new developments in consumer technology and talk about how they will affect our lives. 


On this episode, Lauren and Micheal are joined by Alden Wicker whose new book is called “To Dye For: How Toxic Fashion is Making Us Sick—And How We Can Fight Back”. They discuss the wide range of chemicals, dyes, and treatments that get put into our clothes and offer tips on how to avoid the worst offenders while shopping for a new wardrobe.


This episode originally aired June 29, 2023. Listen to every episode of Gadget Lab wherever you get your podcasts.
