Is the lack of it getting you down and has it reached the level of SAD? We'll also touch on the latest on multivitamins and brain health and the Ozempic scam. THE CONTROVERSIAL SECOND-HAND CLOTHING MARKET Libby Znaimer is now joined by Megan McPhaden, Managing Editor at Cottage Life Magazine who wrote her thesis on this topic and Baniyelme Zoogah, an Associate Professor at the DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University. It's almost a seasonal ritual: purging our closets at the start of the new year and donating the items we no longer want. It may make us feel like we are doing something good but the opposite is true. Most of that stuff ends up in Africa if not in a landfill. And with the increased trendiness of thrifting, people who really need  those cheaper things often don't have access. HARVARD'S PRESIDENT CLAUDINE GAY RESIGNS Libby is now joined by Michael Poliakoff, President of the American Council of Trustees and Alumni.

Meanwhile, a new report says those ubiquitous home test kits aren't as accurate as we thought and the company behind them fudged some of the results in order to get the multi million dollar contract. And there's a new study on physician burnout - again some of that must be related to the holidays. And two of our panelists were working over Christmas.

A few years ago, Jack Widness of Wilmington and Malcolm Moore of Marlboro were part of a crew clearing trails on Hogback Mountain. They noticed stone walls “all over the place, going up at steep angles, very close to the tops of the mountain.”So Jack and Malcolm asked us: “For what purpose did our Vermont forbears do all the hard work of building stone walls in such different and unusual locations?”When we announced this winning question, a lot of you were like, “Come on, it's totally because of sheep.” But is it really? Or is there more to the story?Reporter Anna Van Dine digs through the layers of Vermont's history, and finds not just an answer about stone walls, but a story about them — and the stories they hold. For deeper reading on this topic, and to see lots of photos of stone walls, check out our web feature.

When it comes to distinctive newspaper designs, the print edition of The Financial Times stands out. The 135-year-old publication is instantly recognizable for its salmon pink paper, and it's become a status symbol for London's monied elite.   The newspaper's web presence is extremely successful as well. In early 2022, it announced it surpassed 1 million digital subscribers, an especially impressive feat given its hefty price tag of over $400 a year.   So given this success, why did the FT launch a mobile app last year that only costs around  £5 a month?   To answer this question, I turned to Malcolm Moore, a longtime Financial Times editor who was put in charge of FT Edit, which is the name for the new mobile app. We discussed why he was chosen to lead the initiative, what the app has to offer that differs from the main newspaper, and who the audience is for the product.
