## Resource

Today on Real Talk, Kristen sits with Talk Easy podcast host Sam Fragoso. They discuss podcasting’s shift from audio to video, the role clothing plays in creating connection during interviews, the tension between public persona and private style, and Sam’s experience being dressed by designer Gabriela Hearst. Sam also reflects on attending film festivals in his early years as a journalist, lessons on dressing from his mother, and how he makes his guests—like Michelle Obama, Elizabeth Warren, and Terry Gross—comfortable when they arrive at the interview table. To close, Kristen and Sam speak with two callers: one deciding what to wear at a new office job, and another wanting to style a new bolo tie outside of special occasions.
