Future Mending Radio
There are better ways of doing things, but they don't get the publicity they deserve. Future Mending Radio profiles the people and organizations that are already building a better future. Clothing swaps, pay-it-forward restaurants, experimental theatre, tech coops, repair cafes, DIY bike hubs, sustainable chocolate shops and more.
In short, relaxing episodes, we'll seek out alternatives and explore them together.

Matt visits a clothing swap and talks to Lisa Amerongen, the founder of the Good Swap, Toronto's largest ongoing clothing swap. What makes a good swap? Could we replace all clothing stores with clothing swaps? What makes swapping different from shopping? What if a pair of pants had its own Instagram account?
