Blamo!

This week on Blamo! I’m joined by one returning guest and one first-timer — Mac Barnett and Shawn Harris.Mac is the current — and ninth ever — National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, a New York Times bestselling author of more than 60 children’s books, and a two-time Caldecott Honor recipient. He’s also a past Blamo! guest, which made this feel less like an interview and more like picking up a conversation we never really finished.Shawn is an award-winning illustrator and author whose book Have You Ever Seen a Flower? received a Caldecott Honor and is a personal favorite of mine — one of those books that quietly rewires the way you see the world.Mac and Shawn are close friends, serious book people, and — somewhat under-the-radar — real fit gods. We talked about good books, good stories, and good clothes!The First Cat in Space Series*Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

My guest this week is the musician, artist, and composer Keaton Henson.Keaton is one of my favorite artists. He’s a rare songwriter whose music feels like it should always be playing somewhere in the background of your life. The kind of songs you immediately replay because there’s so much feeling, detail, and restraint packed in that you’re convinced you missed something the first time. You know exactly what I mean.Keaton and I talk about his new album Parader, good clothes and big jumpers, suits as a form of armor, life in Surrey, collecting, and what’s been holding his attention lately.Listen to "Loose Ends" at the end of the episodeWatch the video for "Insomnia" on YouTube*Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

One of my favorite guests returns for a three-peat: Todd Snyder.Todd is exceptionally good at what he does, and he understands every part of building a brand — not just how to make clothes, but how to make a brand that lasts.We discuss the role tailoring continues to play in shaping his world and why it remains central to the brand's identity. We get into the tier of “good, better, best,” and what it means to grow retail without losing your soul. We dig into collaborations that make sense, not just noise, and how the holidays change everything — for the business and the customer.*Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
