What does it take to build not just a building, but an entirely new neighborhood in Las Vegas? Co-host Sarah Lohman talks with developers Weina Zhang and Anna Olin of Z Life, the woman-owned firm behind Midtown, a planned, high-density, mixed-use neighborhood north of the Arts District. The pair outlines their vision for a walkable urban district centered around condos, hotels, and local businesses, designed to support nearby workers. They also address concerns about affordability, gentrification, and the challenges of building vertically in a city traditionally defined by sprawl.

This week you are going to meet Molly and Jane of Content Queen, a two-person Bay Area-based zine publisher. And we are going to talk about all kinds of very hot topics (including literally Hot Topic):Why do Jane and Molly make physical zines rather than virtual/online content in 2025? The answer is important and might get you thinking…How has the kind of “content” we consume (especially the content we READ) changed in the social media era?Two of Content Queen's zines that are explicitly fashion-related: Stressful, Awkward, Envied: ‘90s and ‘00s Brands From Those Who Wore the Clothes, Worked the Registers, and Modeled for the Catalogs AND Wendy's World, “an immersion into the early-'90s downtown New York world of the ultimate cult indie fashion label, Built by Wendy.”Along the way Molly and Jane will tell us what it's like to vend at a zine fair in 2025 (and why it's different than it used to be). And we'll wrap it all up by making our trend predictions. Amanda gets things started with explaining why something as simple as reading is a radical act of resistance in 2025 (and why we need to protect books and libraries).Go order and read Molly and Jane's zines so we can talk about them: contentqueenzine.comFind them on IG: @contentqueenzineJOIN AMANDA FOR THE CLOTHESHORSE BIRTHDAY CRAFTERNOON ON JULY 20!Additional reading:"It's so boring': Gen Z parents don't like reading to their kids - and educators are worried," Alaina Demopoulos, The Guardian."The Elite College Students Who Can't Read Books," Rose Horowitch, The Atlantic.Banned and Challenged Books dashboard, American Library Association.Get your Clotheshorse merch here: https://clotheshorsepodcast.com/shop/If you want to share your opinion/additional thoughts on the subjects we cover in each episode, feel free to email, whether it's a typed out message or an audio recording: amanda@clotheshorse.worldDid you enjoy this episode?

I tried a new cocktail bar in the Arts District and think it might be the new great spot for anyone looking for elevated cocktails and small bites. Will it unseat Herbs & Rye as the best late night spot? I also offer my thoughts on the latest closing of multiple MGM property concierge desks.

This week on “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” it's all about smack talk, storylines, and stand-up. Ira sits down with Mike Krasner (host) and Sean Reddy (co-producer) of Roastlemania 6, coming to Wiseguys Comedy at the Arts District on May 24. In this high-energy episode, Mike and Sean pull back the curtain on the wild world of Roastlemania—from its humble beginnings to the chaotic comedy spectacle it is today. They dive into how they fused their love of professional wrestling with stand-up comedy, crafting outrageous characters, off-the-cuff banter, and full-on roasts that mirror the drama of the ring. They talk about growing up glued to wrestling on TV, the comedians who channel their inner wrestlers, and how battles of wit replace body slams. Hear how this duo built their friendship, developed the show's over-the-top format, and why Sean proudly wears the title of a “heel” judge. Plus: why it's more than a show—it's a full-blown production. From street-level promo-tion to giving rising comics their shot in the spotlight, Mike and Sean share why timing, writing, and stage time matter. Also, why Mike insists on keeping Roastlemania bi-monthly to maintain the creative fire and give performers the space to shine. (Also Watch Full Podcast Video)

Today, co-host Sarah Lohman sits down with Chef James to talk about his upbringing on the Eastside running with the "wrong crowd," how restaurants changed his life, what it was like returning to Las Vegas to start his flagship restaurant, Esther's, and where he thinks the dining scene in Las Vegas is headed.

A better future for our planet means most people buying secondhand clothing most of the time. Right now we live in a “golden era” of shopping secondhand…if you're the customer! But the infrastructure as it exists right now for the people doing the work of finding, repairing, cleaning, and selling secondhand clothing needs a lot of improvement. This week, Amanda is joined by Valeria Brenner of Thryft Ship to dissect how and why the current state of secondhand resale isn't equitable for the people doing the work:We will break down the reality of the fees that these platforms are charging (and how it makes running a financially sustainable business nearly impossible for secondhand resellers),We will talk about how the socially ingrained expectation of free shipping makes that even more difficult, And we will discuss how this system could be better! Maybe it will get some of you thinking about new tools and systems for the secondhand economy!Also, Valeria will explain why the secondhand reseller community is so amazing.Find Thryft Ship:IG: @thryftshipWebsite: thryftship.comRead Alex's Substack (1-800-Vintage) about why she no longer calls herself a resellerGet your Clotheshorse merch here: https://clotheshorsepodcast.com/shop/If you want to share your opinion/additional thoughts on the subjects we cover in each episode, feel free to email, whether it's a typed out message or an audio recording: amanda@clotheshorse.worldDid you enjoy this episode?

Last month, Forever 21 filed for bankruptcy for the second time. It is planning to close all of its stores in the coming months as it winds down its operations. This is not a eulogy for Forever 21, but it is a deep dive into how one retailer change changed our habits, along with the entire business of making and selling clothing.We'll be talking about the following topics:The history of Forever 21: where it started, how it grew, and where it went wrong,The many ways that Forever 21 changed our relationship with clothing, including how much we were willing to pay and how long we expected a garment to last,How cultural and social trends of the 00s (including "high/low style") helped Forever 21 grow,The ways in which Forever 21 paved the way for ultra fast fashion brands like SHEIN...only to fall behind in the end.And so much more! We'll also feel a little bit (just a tiny bit) nostalgic for Sparks (the caffeinated malt liquor) and summer nights spent biking around Portland, OR.

Right now, by the estimates of some business owners — and they are happy about this — maybe seven out of every 10 customers in the Arts District in downtown Las Vegas are tourists.
Over the past few years, we have explored many different facets of the secondhand economy: resellers and the ethics of reselling secondhand items, the various secondhand platforms, the fine art of thrifting, and even where all of the unsold stuff from thrift stores ends up!

Las Vegas is full of surprises, and today's guest, Christina Dylag, is one of them. She's the owner of Velveteen Rabbit, a uniquely charming bar and community hub in the city's vibrant Arts District. Christina is also the author of “Tiny Little Boxes: How to Cope with Existential Dread by Way of Ice Cream and Other Means”—a title that's as intriguing as the book itself.Christina joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about why she opened Velveteen Rabbit, the philosophy behind her book, and how the Arts District is fostering creativity in the food and beverage space. They also explore the spiritual side of Las Vegas, the inspiration behind her craft cocktails (and mocktails), and, of course, the beloved children's book that gave her bar its name.Thank you to Las Vegas for supporting our show.

One of the challenges facing all of concerned citizens is where and how to find accurate and reliable news. This week Amanda is joined by Elizabeth Segran, Senior Staff Writer at Fast Company Magazine. They tackle some very important questions about news, media, and how we can determine what is fact, fiction, or something in-between:How can we tell the difference between editorial/opinion pieces and news reporting?Is it dangerous for people to get their “news” solely from social media?Is there a “Hippocratic oath” for journalists?What are the processes journalists and news organizations follow for verifying that information is factual?How have budget cuts (and a shift in the entire media industry in the digital era) impacted how fast news is reported? Has it changed what it is covered?How can we fact check the things we see online?Also, Amanda introduces REDUCE, REFUSE, RESIST, an economic protest (and new way of life) for all of us that begins in March."Inside the State Department's Weapons Pipeline to Israel," Brett Murphy, ProPublica.Join the conversation on the Clotheshorse Slack!

Meet Ellie Parker, the new executive chef at Main St. Provisions in The Arts District. Al paid her a visit this week, and you'll hear that extended interview at the center of this week's episode. You'll also hear from Mimmo Ferraro about the new Happy Hour and pre-theater menu at Ferraro's, and learn about the next Ferraro's wine dinner. And we have restaurant reports from Ciao Vino, Nora's, Windy City Beef & Dog, Pizza Rock, Café Breizh, Pier 215, Honey Salt and Town Square's brand new upscale, Indian “fusion” restaurant Tamba.
Not too long ago, people who had an office job talked about “being chained to a desk.” Today, a desk job is the most liberating of all employment options. Your desk can be at your house, in a coffee shop, in your van, or at what’s come to be called a “co-working space.” Co-working spaces are typically modeled after the re-imagined office that was born back in the day when Google and Facebook were startups. It’s a mashup of an office, coffee shop, private club, and event space. And the best part is, the boss is never going to walk in – because there is no boss. You rent the desk yourself on an annual or monthly basis. Peter's guests on this edition of Out to Lunch both have co-working spaces – one on the Northshore in Covington, the other in New Orleans, in the Arts District. In Covington, Bradley Cook is Co-Founder of Palette Northshore, modeled to some extent after sister Palette co-working spaces in Florida and New York. In New Orleans, Hugh Breckenridge is Community Manager at The Shop Workspace in The Contemporary Arts Center on Camp Street. The Shop also has locations in Salt Lake City and Brooklyn, New York. If you listen to podcasts and radio shows about business, or keep up with the finance punditocracy on TV, you’ll hear people pontificate about “The Future of Work.” Like everything else about the future, nobody knows anything. Not for sure, anyway. What we do know, though, is the tyranny of the office cubicle is a relic of the past. Multiple studies find a significant majority of white-collar workers prefer some form of remote work, and over 30% say they would quit a job if they were compelled to show up at the office every day. This demand for the freedom to work out of the office will more than likely ensure the popularity of co-working spaces well into any foreseeable future. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

2025 is a lot. Things are kinda overwhelming right now: there's a lot of news to digest and it's coming fast, it's hard to suss out reality from fiction, and we don't know what we can do to help. And so…it's hard to be okay right now. But it sure is easy to be overwhelmed. Frightened. Angry. Trapped in a sense of powerlessness.

After a dark start to the New Year, a little light at the end of the tunnel this week as 18 Los Angeles chefs, bars and restaurants were named James Beard semifinalists. With Angelenos earning spots in the categories of Outstanding Chef, Outstanding Restaurant and Best Chef: California, Father Sal is with us today for one of our trademark, frankly psychotic dissections of what it all means. We attempt to answer questions like, is this a downward or upward trending year for LA? What are Angelenos' chances of turning their semifinalist nods into actual victories? Which restaurants most surprised us by earning a spot, and which snubs left us scratching our head? We also discuss a great article by the LA Times' Jenn Harris on LA chefs' wishlist for 2025, and after the break we're joined by friends of the pod Luke Reyes and Reilly Cox for Part 3 of our Opening Cafe Esca series. As a reminder, this is our series in which we're accompanying Luke and Reilly in their journey to open up an ambitious new coastal Italian restaurant in the Arts District this Spring.

Despair. Apathy. Not believing that things can change and be better. Just fully discounting any possibility of progress. Have you struggled with these feelings? It's called doomerism and you're not wrong for feeling that way. In this week's episode, Amanda talks all about doomerism (and how to fight it off):Amanda shares what she learned on her desert road trip in search of optimism, with stops at National Parks and more than one geodesic domes.She will share her advice (gained through experience and lots of reading about this topic) for saving yourself from doomerism, while also building up your strength and energy to keep fighting the good fight.And she'll talk about why she is staying on social media.LINKS LINKS LINKSMontezuma Castle National MonumentArcosantiBiosphere 2Photos from Amanda's visit to Biosphere 2Spaceship Earth (documentary about Biosphere 2)Hotel McCoySaguaro National ParkAd Fontes Media Bias ChartJoin the conversation on the Clotheshorse Slack!

In the final episode of 2024, Amanda is inspired by a conversation with her friend Janelle to explore board games that teach children (and adults) the “winner takes all” aspect of late stage capitalism and/or reinforce the message that success=stuff.We'll take a journey through the history of board games, with a deep dive into the Game of Life.We'll check out the shopping focused games of the 1980s and 90s, including Mall Madness.We will touch on some other games that just seem agonizing for adults to play, like Payday (too real).And we'll explore the origin story of Monopoly, along with all of the other games that (accidentally or otherwise) seem to reinforce dumb ideas like the bootstrap myth.Amanda also talks about what a "no buy year" means to her (and somehow ties into board games, because why not).This episode also includes an audio essay from Eleisha of SHIFT, a refillery in Narberth, PA.

In this special episode of “On the Corner of Main Street,” recorded right in the heart of Oscar's Steakhouse, we're honored to welcome the newly sworn-in 24th Mayor of Las Vegas, Shelley Berkley. After nearly 25 years under the Goodmans, the city is entering an exciting new chapter—and Mayor Berkley's first week on the job has already given her plenty to dig into. Join hosts Jonathan and Gary as they sit down with Mayor Berkley to explore her extraordinary personal journey—coming to Las Vegas as a teenager in the ‘60s, witnessing the heyday of the Sands and the Rat Pack through her father's job as a maître d', serving seven terms in Congress, and now stepping into one of the city's top leadership roles. In this candid conversation, Mayor Berkley offers a glimpse of her vision for Las Vegas: improving economic growth, expanding affordable housing, and tackling homelessness with fresh, community-minded approaches. You'll hear her reflect on the legacy of the Goodman family, the pioneering role of women in city leadership, and the city's ever-evolving culture—from the days of dress codes and dinner jackets to the modern pulse of the Arts District and flourishing tech scene. Whether you're a Vegas local or just love the lure of the city's neon lights, this episode gives you an inside look at where Las Vegas stands today and where it's headed tomorrow under Mayor Shelley Berkley's steady, experienced hand.
Amanda is joined by Sushmita, the person behind Ethical Fat Fashion, the "coolest fat positive fashion newsletter amplifying ethical size diverse brands.” In this episode--recorded in a karaoke room in Tokyo--Amanda and Sushmita discuss the following:“Sustainable fashion” has an inclusivity problem. Meaning: it still focuses on thin, white, young, wealthier cis-gendered women. Why is that still the case, years into the sustainability movement in fashion?How can we change that? I always feel like I am part of a growing diverse community of primarily working class people, yet I still see many brands and organizations continuing to focus on the same thin/white/young/rich people. Why is it important for slow fashion to be a movement/community for everyone?Conversations about cost are particularly difficult because we know that the prices of ultra fast fashion are only possible because the clothes are low quality and someone suffered to make them. Fast fashion has warped our sense of value and how much clothing should cost. How do we untangle that? And how is skipping fast fashion an issue of class solidarity?The societal expectation around how much clothing we should have has changed drastically over the years, especially during the fast fashion era. And so we think we need a lot of clothes that are inexpensive, rather than a lot less clothing at a higher price. Sushimita will share her thoughts on that and how we change our perception of value and the quantity of clothing we own.Also: Why we should shop from small brands, debunking the myth that there are no sustainable brands that make larger sizes, and so much more!This episode gets started with a small business audio episode from Lisa of Top Stitch Mending. And Amanda wraps up the episode discussing how the recent election here in the United States has her thinking about the power of community and communication.Give everyone a follow:Sushmita: @ethicalfatfashion on every platformEthical Fat Fashion on Substack@topstitchmendingJoin the conversation on the Clotheshorse Slack!
