Our interview with Thom Bettridge is leaving no stone unturned. Thom—the new editor-in-chief of i-D Magazine—spent his Friday with us to get to the bottom of how a mountain of a man dresses for picking up his kids at school, first day of work fits, pitches and press releases, the cultural movements that define our time, a magazine taking as long to make as the time you've got, identifying and navigating the pitfalls of modern day media, who out there is doing things right, a Mount Rushmore of magazines, what a legacy media guy thinks of the Substackaissance, what the hell is going on with menswear media in 2024, how he converted readers into shoppers back at SSENSE, tales from the styling trenches, a litany of fashion dad takes and much more on Thom Bettridge's 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.
