Dansplaining: The Danny Lomas Podcast

Horace has been sorting out the skin of Parisians (and the rest of France) for a while now and they have just opened their newest store in Covent Garden.

Co-founder Marc Briant-Terlet joined the guys to talk custom-made boots, Japanese eBay...and of course Ralph Lauren.

Oh, he also covered starting a skincare brand that has captured the hearts and imagination of men all over the globe. We also have a world exclusive! Danny tried the latest under-eye patches during the pod...you can hear how good the results were.

Aro Archive is an archive store and archive in Shoreditch specialising in Japanese, Belgian, French and British clothing. Today we are joined by Founder, manager and all around legend Ariana Waiata.

Being one of Danny and Jordans favourite stores in London, it was an honour to be joined by the big boss herself

We chat everything from the origins of Ariana's journey with clothes, iterations of Aro, how a certain frontman wrecking havoc on her stall turned out to be a blessing in disguise, working on Yeezy, being a PAQ alumni and so much more.

Enjoy.

Jordan and Danny have a catch-up discussing everything from the episode they had to take down after 30 mins, P Diddy, Godzilla, Nepenthes, Palace x GAP, CDG, ACG, other letters, taking Larry from Throwing Fits to Dalston bars, being sick, being really sick, Letterboxed, Shopping, and some loafer chat.

When someone is described as the Nigella of wine and turns up to the pub in full Rick Owens, you know we had to get them straight over to Dansplaining HQ.

Hannah is a writer who turned my passion into a career, she is the person demystifying wine for young people all over the UK.

Corker: A Deeply Unserious Wine Book, Hannah's first book is released 28th March, and tells you how to not sound like a twat when ordering wine, or sound like a twat who at least knows what they are doing.

Hannah brought along some wine and we get involved in some ASMR (about 4 years too late).

So sit back, relax, cos this episode is a corker...see what i did there...it's the name of the book...

Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and all-around great guy Samm Henshaw joins us this week.

Sam came through to chat about his new single 'Troubled Ones' (which you know...go listen...then listen again...then just leave playing on repeat when you go to the shops), doing up model with Danny for GANT, missing his first ever show at fashion week, working with Pharrell, being directed by Steve Mcqueen, the Vince Staples show, regrettably rocking a fedora and a whole lot more.

The boys sell him on some Our Legacy obviously and we get a sneak peak at what the future holds for Samm.

The man who wore velcro shoes up until the age of 15 returns to this fashion podcast.

Not only has he learned how to tie shoelaces, but he has also gathered a decent little collection that he chats to us about.

We hear what he has been up to since last year, his moves into the world of fashion, working with Jordan on commercials, taking Danny out for chicken hearts, moving to Dalston, his favourite spots to eat at right now, and he also discovers the sound effect button much to Danny's dismay.

It may be chaos, it may make no sense...but it was fun.

Oh, Will also has a podcast...its a lot more professional than this...you should go listen to it.

We decided to kick season 2 off with a bang and invite one of our most requested guests, Cora Delaney onto the pod.

Cora and her dog Bashy came through to the studio to talk about how she went from a small coastal town to running an agency working with the biggest brands and talent in the world.

Cora is a PAQ veteran and we have been trying to get her on the podcast since day 1. Cora's company, EYC, represents Dansplaining alumni such as BadKid HQ, Callum Mullin, and Gully Guy Leo, they also work with brands from Nike to Prada and are known to throw some of the best events in the industry.
