## Resource

In the early 2000s, American Apparel was the coolest kid on the block, slinging ethically-made tees and scandalous billboards. But founder Dov Charney's penchant for office orgies and nude photoshoots proved too spicy for Wall Street, turning his sweatshop-free dream into a nightmare of lawsuits, bankruptcy, and one very public walk of shame. Sasheer Zamata and Jared Goldstein join Misha to uncover the almost naked truth behind American Apparel.   Be the first to know about Wondery’s newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!
