Konrad Olsson har en lång bakgrund inom magasinvärlden med fokus på herrmode. Efter en rad olika redaktörsroller bestämde han sig för att starta sitt eget imperium. Först med Scandinavian MAN, men i dag är det namnet Scandinavian MIND som gäller - en plattform som tittar djupt ner i modevärldens kokande gryta av hållbarhetsarbete, innovation och digitalisering. I avsnitt 299 pratar vi bland annat om nya sätt att återvinna material, möjligheterna med NFT:er, metaverse och digitala tillgångar, och hur det virtuella identitetsskapandet inte behöver skilja sig nämnvärt från det fysiska. Men först dyker vi ner i vår gemensamma bakgrund inom hardcoremusik och fanzine-produktion. Kanske är cirkeln sluten när vi gör ungefär samma sak 25 år senare?

För att överleva på sikt måste varumärken bli mycket bättre på att berätta en historia som faktiskt berör och är autentisk. Konrad Olsson är en av grundarna bakom livsstilsplattformen Scandinavian Man och vi pratar om hur skandinaviska värden som hållbarhet, jämställdhet och innovation kommer vara det som skiljer agnarna från vetet.

Det började med en idé om att skapa en svensk internationell herrmodevecka belägen i Göteborg. Men längs vägen upptäckte Konrad Olsson, en av grundarna bakom Scandinavian Man, att det var mycket större än så. Förutom mode och stil står den skandinaviska mannen för så mycket mer, hör honom berätta i lunchpodden hur värden som jämställdhet, innovation och hållbarhet väcker avund och habegär över hela världen.

I dagens avsnitt möter vi Konrad Olsson och Jonas Bergström, grundare till den digitala plattformen, magasinet och modeveckan Scandinavian Man.

Men också om att hitta hem till sina entreprenörsrötter, varför konceptet Scandinavian Man är en hit internationellt och vilka styrkor samt fördomar det finns i och kring den skandinaviska stilen.

Miles Davis (1926-1991) är en av tidernas stilsäkraste musiker med en imponerande garderob. Han utsågs ofta till den bäst klädde mannen, oavsett vilken klädstil han valde. Miles Davis har inte bara skapat en av de mest inflytelserika, och bäst säljande, jazzskivorna i historien Kind of Blue, från 1959. Och därefter ritat om den musikaliska kartan några gånger till, bland annat genom det banbrytande dubbelalbumet Bitches Brew, 1969. Han har också imponerat genom sin säkra klädstil.Men när det idag görs listor över världens främsta manliga stilikoner genom tiderna, brukar Miles Davis inte vara med lika ofta som Paul Newman, Steve McQueen och John F Kennedy, som var samtida med honom. Men, rent principiell, verkar behovet av manliga stilikoner aldrig sina. Om varför det är så tar vi upp i veckans program med chefredaktören för Plaza Magazine, Konrad Olsson. Vi har också talat med författaren och poeten Quincy Troupe. Han skrev inte bara Miles Davis hyllade självbiografi, han skrev också boken Miles and Me, en bok där han berättar om hur det gick till när han lärde känna Miles, och hur det ledde till biografin och i sin tur en livslång vänskap. Och så frågar vi oss hur det kommer sig att den hesa rösten är så... speciell. Och härlig. Veckans gäst är Harry Amster, kulturjournalist på Svenska Dagbladet.
