To continue our TECTALK podcast series, where we connect with various industry personalities on the topic of functional design, technology in clothing, and more, we invited one of the most interesting and niche YouTubers on our topic. David Moseer runs his YouTube channel with reviews of avant-garde and functional clothing and also manages his Skinnosh Atelier in Munich, which produces handcrafted items with leather and functional materials/accessories. We talked to David about his craft, avant-garde and "techwear" influences, and current industry realities. The English-language podcast is available on SoundCloud [link below], Anchor, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Breaker, and other podcast platforms.

Here is our new edition of TECTALK podcast! This time we talked to a person of very unusual professional activity. Benjamin Pothier is an analog astronaut, a fellow of the legendary The Explorers Club – an international community of discoverers [active since 1904, members of the club were the first at the North and South poles, on the Moon, on mount Everest and at the deepest point of the ocean], and most recently he defended his Ph.D. thesis. Finally, he's a fan of tech clothing and has several shells from the likes of Acronym, Veilance, and more in his collection. We talked to him about life on Mars and Earth, his expeditions, and the tech equipment that he takes with him when climbing active volcanos and descending into arid deserts.
