*After ours.
There’s no shortage of podcasts in the world, but the fashion arena is still relatively underpopulated. HYPEBEAST has several healthy additions in this arena, with HYPEBEAST Radio featuring several notable names in fashion, ranging from Urban Necessities’ Jaysse Lopez to adidas’s Jon Wexler, there’s enough for listeners to indulge in. But once you’ve gone through that extensive list, here’s five more podcasts to listen to.

UK6 is the podcast hosted by Alexandra “Miniswoosh” Hackett of ALCH and Meg Parry and tackles sneakers and streetwear. The podcast gives useful and concrete information about how to break into the industry, going beyond the typical ‘follow your dreams’ advice heard elsewhere.
