In July 2019, Future Heist recorded a live podcast at Marxism Festival 2019, a celebration of socialist ideas.

Podcast host Rena Niamh Smith presented a political analysis of the fashion industry, looking at how the fashion industry has misshaped our consumption of clothing, why style should be respected as an art form by socialists and revolutionary styles from the past. The discussion, with members of the audience, addresses questions like the hijab, the gilets jaunes movement, sexism in the industry, and so much more. Together, we consider the shortcomings of the industry, and look to an alternate future.
