Let's go thrifting! Discover the history and fun of buying secondhand

Minnesota has thousands of secondhand stores, from for-profit businesses to those tied to charities — all possible treasure troves for the determined thrifter. 

Host Angela Davis talks with a historian who wrote a book about thrifting and a thrift store marketing manager about thrifting’s past, present and future. 


Guests: 

  • Jennifer Le Zotte is an assistant professor of history at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and author of the book “From Goodwill to Grunge: A History of Secondhand Styles and Alternative Economies.” 

  • Molly King is the marketing manager for Arc’s Value Village thrift stores in the Twin Cities.
