So Last Seasons - Children's Clothes; Basel Fasnacht 2022

So Last Seasons is an online children's clothes store that fights clothing waste by purchasing the overproduction from Scandinavian brands. This gives parents the rare opportunity to take advantage of sales prices at the right seasonal time. Owner Anne Schneider explained what that means, how she got the idea for the business, and how we can turn the frankly alarming statistics of the fashion world into something more sustainable. As a special treat, if you buy clothes from So Last Seasons, you, our listeners, get a 15% discount if you type in the code "RadioX" when checking out. You can follow So Last Seasons on Instagram or Facebook. So Last Seasons is good for the environment, for your children, and for your wallet! Listen to the interview here.

Basel Fasnacht is back! After a two-year break due to the pandemic, the carnival is going ahead next week from Monday, March 7th to Wednesday, March 9th. (Knock on wood!) This year, Fasnacht is going to be slightly different - the two Cortèges, or official parades, on Monday and Wednesday afternoon are cancelled, for example. Instead, the city has decided to let Fasnacht go ahead in a 'looser' fashion than usual, with every group basically allowed to do whatever they want. They're calling it «drei Daag gässle», meaning «three days of walking along the narrow streets of the old part of town while playing your instrument». We talked about what to do and see at Fasnacht - for more information, check out our Fasnacht event page.

And if you've ever wondered what a Clique, Gugge, Schnitzelbangg or Larve is, then head over to our handy Fasnacht dictionary!
