On today's show, we're chatting with Maggie Lanham, a Louisville-based vintage seller, stylist, and writer and the owner of the shop Really Good Vintage. Maggie loves 90s fashion – she loves Armani, the carefree world of 90s J. Crew, and she loves pulling together her favorite chic and curated vintage finds into her newsletter – Really Good Vintage. Now, after spending  the last five years in New York, Maggie's settled back in her home state of Kentucky to put her vintage experience to use as she opens the Really Good Vintage brick and mortar store this summer!

Every week, Emily Stochl invites you into a conversation that goes far beyond the clothing rack. Pre-Loved Podcast with Emily Stochl is built on the idea that every second-hand garment has a past, and that exploring those histories makes our present style more meaningful. Rather than just offering shopping tips, each episode feels like sitting down with a fascinating friend who shares your passion for vintage, digging into the many layers of what it means to wear pre-owned fashion. You’ll hear from a diverse range of guests-from collectors and stylists to entrepreneurs and historians-as they explore not only personal style but also the practicalities of running a resale business, the complexities of the global second-hand market, and the environmental ethos behind choosing used over new. The heart of this podcast lives in those incredible stories: the serendipitous flea market find, the garment that carries a decade of memories, or the simple, powerful act of giving a piece a new life. Emily guides these discussions with genuine curiosity, making each topic accessible whether you're a seasoned thrifter or just curious about sustainable fashion. It’s a thoughtful, engaging look at how what we wear connects to culture, art, beauty, and the kind of mindful consumption that can reshape an industry. Tune in for a fresh perspective that celebrates the character, sustainability, and deep personal connection found in pre-loved fashion.
