There are many jokes about how washing machines or dryers eat socks, and many Youtube videos about their fate. If you have worn out or unmatched socks – this is the podcast for you! Thanks to Alexis Sullivan for the listener question.
You can listen to my podcast episode about creative reuse of socks in this YouTube video. It originally aired in February 2017.
