Episode 144 | Polka Not a.k.a. Polka Do(n)t (Season 8 Episode 14)

The Dream 3 Finale Part 2 is here! We pick up with these exhausted designers back in NYC for the first ever fashion week at LINCOLN CENTER (in my head, Heidi Klum is shouting this in her ONE MILLION DOLLARS voice). Nayland and Patricia are both back in our final vintage episode of Season 8. We talk about how the designers barely flinch at a challenge twist, Ari’s severely underrated collection, Mondo’s tribute to his abuela, and all of our flares of anger during the absolutely ludicrous final judging round. We will be back from our hiatus to talk Project Runway Prime in mid-October. JOIN US!

if you like project runway, this is a great podcast. they go there, in depth. plus, their voices are soothing. it's just really relaxing to listen to them. I went back and rewatched season 4 partially just to enjoy their recaps.
