Our interview with Josh Willis is for the foos. Josh—the co-founder, designer and creative director of Second/Layer—was in town from sunny Los Angeles to brave the NYC cold and chat about being a janitor of all trades, getting what you pay for with knits, going a step beyond for customer service, the Dodger blue speaking to him like the Green Goblin mask, Good Art toolery, grom's today ain't got no respect, what if How To Make It In American took place in LA, Wear Second/Layer And You'll Pull Bitches™, you need to figure out the first layer on your own, arriving at style vs. it just showing up, creative direction is easy but the production is hard, what's even going on with sneakers these days, delivering on time is everything, differences between American and Japanese consumers, going to the bank or the street to keep things afloat, dear other brands: he sees your cheap tricks and how you're barely a business, dressing like you give a fuck, hive mind design, what to wear when you get a newlywed blessing from the Pope, and much more on Josh Willis' interview with The Only Podcast That Matters™.


In a world saturated with polished takes and predictable opinions, Throwing Fits offers a refreshingly unfiltered conversation. This podcast operates from the premise that two self-proclaimed grown dirtbags can provide some of the most genuine commentary on contemporary culture. The hosts navigate the ever-shifting landscape of style, art, and what it means to be a person with interests in today's world, all without taking themselves too seriously. Listeners are invited into a space where high and low culture collide, where a deep dive into a fashion trend can sit comfortably beside a rant about daily absurdities. The tone is less instructional and more observational, driven by a shared curiosity and a willingness to question the status quo. You'll hear the hosts grapple with the zeitgeist, often finding humor and insight in the most unexpected places. Their dynamic is the core of the show-a blend of camaraderie, playful ribbing, and moments of surprising sincerity that makes each episode feel like catching up with your most opinionated, yet oddly relatable, friends. It’s a dialogue about the things that shape our tastes and identities, delivered with a distinct voice that refuses to be neatly categorized. For those tired of formulaic discussions, this podcast provides a much-needed dose of personality and authentic, meandering conversation that somehow always circles back to what’s interesting, weird, or worth talking about right now.
