MetCast - December 2024

Welcome to this special festive edition of MetCast. First, we step back in time to uncover a long-held Christmas tradition: the telling of ghost stories. From gothic Victorian tales and the enduring magic of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, we discover how the festive season once embraced the spooky and the supernatural – and how this convention has been updated for modern audiences. Then, we turn to the sparkle of festive fashion - and its impact on the planet. With insights from Dr. Patsy Perry of the Manchester Fashion Institute, we’ll discuss how to shine sustainably this season, while reducing waste and embracing a circular economy.
