America’s Love Affair with Garage Sales

All Of It

About this episode

Garage sales, thrifting, and the art of discovering other people’s castoffs have come one of America’s most beloved rituals. Caity Weaver from The Atlantic discusses why the secondhand economy says more about who we are than the stuff we buy -- and listeners shout out their all-time favorite garage sale finds.
