If the Dirt and Discourse segment leaves you wanting to know more about A) Lizzo B) ModCloth and/or C) the next episode, great! Lizzo’s website is a great starting point but you can really just hop on YouTube and go to town. They suggest starting with Truth Hurts or this gem of Lizzo and Caroline Smith’s from 2014 that highlights Lake Street beautifully. If you’d like to read up on ModCloth and the foundation for our critique check out Erika W. Smith’s article from Bustle Modcloth’s Downfall Apparently had a lot to do with Fatphobia and Anna Merlan’s Jezebel article Women’s Retailer Modcloth to be Bought by Jet.com, which is Owned by WalMart and Recode’s Jason Del Ray’s ModCloth’s former CEO Matt Kaness has left Walmart just a year after the acquisition.
