In this episode, Lucy and Ben are joined by author Casci Ritchie to talk about the life and wardrobe of one of the greatest artists of all time: Prince. Reflecting on gender, race and the role of costume in the performance of Prince's complex and ever-evolving identities, we talk about leggings, chest hair, that Super Bowl, and––of course––the colour purple.
