NY Denim Hangs is a grassroots community organization in New York City that was founded to bring denim lovers together. The purpose of the NY Denim Hangs Podcast is to pull the curtain back on the global denim industry and share the stories of the people that comprise it. We take you beyond the denim to present the mills, makers, manufacturers and marketers in a series of “mini hangs” that we hope will educate, inform and inspire our community.
Follow us on Instagram at @nydenimhangs. All welcome. Come hang.
In this first ever episode, Eric and Jason discuss who they are, what NY Denim Hangs is and why - with busy jobs and parental responsibilities - they decided to start a podcast. Hosts: Eric John and Jason Howe - Music credit: Lobo Loco - Intro credit: Ryan Andes
